His buddy gave him two pills and said "Don't sweat it. You'll get it done." At first he didn't want to take them, but when it came down to the final 48 hour stretch, he decided to take em and see what happens. He remembered taking the pills, and then remembered walking out of his final exam. His friends all told him that they never have seen anybody read books that fast while he was on the stuff, and never saw him get a wink of sleep during the 48 hour period. He aced all of his exams.

Supposedly, apples have more caffine than coffee, but I haven't tested to see if it works better than coffee. I wonder what in the world that stuff was. It sounds like caffine pills on acid. Actually, I know either acid or LSD supposedly allows people to stay awake for 2-3 days on end, but I don't think they could allow people to focus on studying.

LOL. Actually, I ate it on my bed while I was studying, but I did peek out of my hallway window occasionally to make sure she wasn't walking toward the room. The chocolate was small enough to hide if she were to walk in, but there were occasions where she would find my chocolate-covered graham crackers or Oreo mini's. For the most part, I lose a lot more weight in college and eat healthier than I do at home...but a woman without an occasional chocolate boost is not usually a happy woman
.
I have a lot of friends that just dump food in bends and eat whatever. However, most of my roommates--with the exception of the Yankee--were like me: you have your food, I have mine. Ask and I'll let you have some, otherwise leave my stash alone. I don't mind sharing, I just don't want give my hopes up on having a caramel Hershey Kiss and then realize the bag is empty and didn't know soon enough to buy more. I love fruit, but some days are so rough that you need a chocolate boost.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
