<p>Hi KnitKnots:<br>
I come up those questions with serious attitude, no f*** around at all.</p>
<p>…what</p>
<p>I just see no point why you would want to post this thread to a rep system. I believe this topic is relate to both college study and life.</p>
<p>I think you’re over-thinking it. It was just a way of complimenting those two posts…</p>
<p>I think he thought you wanted to report the thread as opposed to give positive reputation to certain posts.</p>
<p>I drink tea and coffee pretty regularly and notice almost no effects from it. If I’m really feeling drowsy and I have to keep working, 2 strong cups can usually get me feeling pretty alert.</p>
<p>I drank a small cup of coffee right before my math exam yesterday to wake me up, but I kept making caculation errors and couldn’t really control them during the exam.</p>
<p>So I realize the coffee is may help a little in daily studies, but not a good idea to drink before a test…</p>
<p>Yes, BlizzaP. I think I intake so much caffeine that a few cups of tea and coffee aren’t that big of a deal. I had the Mucho Mocha from FSM which supposedly is a combo of coffee and green tea. It didn’t make me alert as I thought it would; I was a little hyperactive for a bit. </p>
<p>But yeah, even multiple big cups of tea don’t do much for me. When I’m at work or at home, I drink like 5 cups of tea because it tastes better than water to me.</p>
<p>Rarely. I’m more of an energy drinks person.</p>
<p>Also, even though I use caffeine a lot, it isn’t for study. I’ll have to admit: I use it for similar reasons as why people smoke; the energy boost it gives allows me to be in a slightly better mood.</p>
<p>However, I’ve noticed that despite that, if I’m lacking on sleep, caffeine only makes me feel better, but I still make the same stupid mistakes. It may help indirectly in the sense that if I almost have enough sleep, I can make sure I don’t sleep thru lectures or labs.</p>
<p>If you don’t regularly use caffeine, you shouldn’t use it for studies. If anything, it’ll give you the jitters (if you’re not used to it) and the false sense of confidence can be dangerous.</p>
<p>Are all of you math majors? Just wondering, because either English isn’t your first language or you just haven’t had enough caffine to ask a question that makes grammatical sense, much less any sense at all.</p>
<p>This is a ridiculous question. It may be part physical, part psychological. People get off on different stimuli, or get off on nothing at all. Caffine, alcohol, nicotine, chocolate. Whatever. </p>
<p>I drink coffee in the morning because it wakes me up and gets me started. In my first year, I started with tea, cream, and brown sugar. In my second year, green tea, no cream, no sugar. In my third year, coffee with cream. In my fourth year, black coffee. Don’t need the sweet part anymore. It becomes a habit. I don’t drink red bull, but I know lots of friends who drink that or coke or an energy drink. Same effect, I guess. </p>
<p>Does it affect my work product? Who knows. I think yes, but probably more of a psychological effect than a physiological effect. I like the taste of coffee. Dark, black coffee. Yummy! Doesn’t make me smarter or more focused. Doesn’t keep me awake anymore than a half hour work out would. </p>
<p>Does it help my studies? I don’t think it hurts them, and that’s the most important thing to me. If it messes you up, don’t drink it. If you feel it helps you, drink it. Your body, by now you should know what helps your thought process and what doesn’t.</p>
<p>Because grammar is so important on an online forum …</p>
<p>@Beatchick: It’s funny that you insult others for being terrible at English, considering that you:</p>
<p>1) misspell “caffeine” twice despite the word appearing throughout the thread,
2) type in sentence fragments,
and 3) repeatedly misunderstand how commas should be used.</p>
<p>Anyway, I just had to call you out. This thread wasn’t so bad until I came across your sour post.</p>
<p>In response to the thread, I drink coffee about once per week at the most!</p>
