The life of a college student, undergraduate or graduate level is often underrated. From one major to the next there is a struggle involved. No matter your class standing; studying comes with a challenge. Now, I don't speak for the masses, just myself and some friends who I know have endured and overcome the challenges presented in college. I remember during my student teaching, almost every day, I drank Starbucks in the morning. Prior to student teaching, I drank energy drinks to stay awake when I worked overnight and when I'd pull 'ALL-NIGHTERS" to study for exams. Sleep was unheard of during those days. But lack of sleep lead to anxiety, irritability, strained relationships and emotional roller coasters. I couldn't sleep, I was studying, working, planning, typing, writing, researching, trying to become a college graduate. So, I was introduced to sleeping pills or sleep aid. And I tell you, it was a gift and a curse. Finally, my neurotransmitters could slow down and I could relax to get sleep. In the morning, upon opening my eyes, I craved Starbucks, to give me energy. And soon my life became one with the other. Starbucks and Sleeping Pills.
And THEN I GRADUATED!!! Amen to THAT!
****THIS BLOG was created for entertainment. A good friend of mine and I had a conversation laughing about our experiences with Starbucks and sleeping pills. I do not endorse and or recommend EITHER for ANYTHING you deal with in college. OKAY**** Say a prayer for strength. I do endorse Phillipians 4:13 though, cause that got me through EVERY DAY in college with out without Starbucks and sleep aid.
Peace,
