Caffeine and Finals: A Good Combo?

It's that time of year again, the time of year that college students all across the country dread at the end of each semester - finals week. The books begin flying, the study groups gather and caffeine becomes the one thing that student's just can't live without.
I, like most college students love my caffeine, but I am always searching for new and exciting ways to get my fix of the good stuff. Here are two ways to get the most out of your caffeine this year.
As always there is espresso. After a while, your body might need a little something other then just the espresso. A "Strong Kick to the Back of the Head" is simply a cup of coffee with six shots of espresso added. If you do not want to drink it straight (it does tend to be a little strong), you can always add sugar and cream. Yummy!
Another way to get the most out of your caffeine fix is a little something my sister likes to call "Loaded Dr. Pepper." When she tried this, she was up for three days! Simply take a spoon of your grounded coffee beans (a good idea is to get a well-roasted bean), put it in your mouth and chase it down with an entire can of Dr. Pepper (or you can substitute the Dr. Pepper for your favorite soda or energy drink).
Whatever your method of getting the most out of your caffeine, I wish you and I good luck on these upcoming finals. Happy studying!
