Pick-Me-Up Snacks

I also always think about my old boss Chuck. He told me when he was in college, he had to cram for six semester exams, and had only a week to study. 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.

I'll never touch the stuff, and I depend on bananas and/or cranberry juice.

Man. That's normal. If you take any of those ADD drugs. Ritalin or Adderall. Take your pick. People sell that shit for $10 a bottle at my school. My friend popped a few Ritalin for his finals. Studies for 24 hours straight. Took the final, and literally passed out. You really need to time those pills because you really do hit a wall once the pill's effects disappear. There have been cases where people who took som ADD pills passed out during finals.

I usually buy those "fun packs" they sell at Costco and munch on those every so often. It has chips, pretzels, cookies, nuts, etc in individually wrapped bags so I just take a couple when I leave for classes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
