coffee

[Rathin]

Finally found someone that hates coffee as well! I would prefer tea x1000 over coffee anytime 

Tea is also good..but I am more of a frappe and milkshake person

Tip for people who hate coffee: use some sort of hot chocolate powder to make it taste nice. i.e 1 tablespoon instant coffee and 1 tablespoon hot chocolate powder. Also if you are planning to stay up late, don't drink all your coffee immediately because you won't make since you'll get a huge high followed by feeling super tired, it but drink like 1 sip per 5 mins (you may need to microwave after 30 min).

I had 6 coffees in a day once and now I can never drink coffee anymore - please don't do that!

Remember tea is also caffeinated but personally I like to have myself a mocha like aroon suggested! Good to get energy and treat yourself for the hard work you're putting in

I hate coffee..too bitter. However it helped me stay awake for 44 hours before my english prelims to memorise 3 essays and a creative.

44 hours!! I can't believe you're still standing I would have died. Not something that I'd recommend you attempt again for your own (and my) sanity, but not gonna lie I'm impressed with your determination.  I'm personally on your side in this debate, never liked coffee unless its loaded with milk and sugar (and then at this point the coffee snobs arrive to tell me that I'm ruining it, and I wonder if its even worth the effort!) Might have to give aroon's recipe a go though!

Yeah really bad experience..had 4 hours sleep in 2 days of english exams because I was unorganised and didnt start memorising early on. It affected my other exams..had bio straight after paper 2 and I was literally half asleep so bombed out so hard..everyone was surprised with my mark. Atleast I have found something about my self is that I have a good short term memory so before HSC 2 weeks is more than enough to memorise everything properly.

But you'll use more than 2 weeks because you will be way more organised next time

At the end of last year I tried to experiment with replacing coffee for lots of water and I think the results were preettty convincing. I love the taste of coffee, so I definitely still drink it. I found that a lot of the time when I was feeling tired to get through the day, I'd have a whole bottle of water and I'd be feeling alive and awake again. I think we all probably don't drink enough water...so on a daily situation, turn to more water. On an all-nighter situation...ok, coffee it is.

I'm a bit late but this is some advice that a teacher has given:
Have a coffee then take a power nap (10 - 30 min ) straight away, by the time you wake up you feel refreshed and the caffeine would've started working then you can get productive work done (hopefully)

I only use coffee when I need it, so I don't build a tolerance to it

Hmm... I thought coffee was bad for you.

The comment regarding its health benefits makes me feel much better about my minimum-two-a-day habit.

If you have it in high concentrations then you're stacking up on caffeine. This is bad.

A bit of coffee every day has no major complications.

Everything in moderation
