Despite being a veteran jaded UFV student, I found myself in quite the tizzy this past week. The pressure of prepping for back-to-back midterms proved to be too much for me, and a personal struggle ensued. What I gained in knowledge was at the expense of sleep, so my energy levels were at an all-time low. My energy pilgrimage began at the Canoe. I was far too lethargic to carry the burdens of university life downstairs to the main floor of the SUB for a coffee, my go-to caffeine hit. So I dragged myself to get an energy drink at the restaurant. After chugging one back, I suddenly felt more awake and immediately ordered another. Next thing I know, my little heart is racing, and I am bouncing off the walls. I drank more energy drinks this week than I have my entire life. So despite my inner student paranoia telling me I was going to fail my midterms, at least I was able to do it with energy!
