If you just convince yourself that a greasy breakfast burrito keeps you wired—and you hear those commercials blaring on every corner day after day—you'll eventually start feeling like that caffeine hit actually gives you wings. 😁

I actually think it tastes great.

As for getting "hypnotized"... sure, maybe that plays a part. But I once pulled an all-nighter fueled by nothing but cheap coffee from Turkey, so I’m pretty sure I could power through a massive exam with a textbook in one hand and zero sleep in the other. 😢

God, does that Red Bull not actually wake you up?! 😲

Honestly, once I finally graduate, I should probably send some kind of donation to that factory just as a thank you. 😁

Ugh, I wonder how many credits I’d have right now if it wasn't for that miracle in a can. My only issue? After I crush an exam and finally head home to crash, I can't even close my eyes. I'm dead tired... but sleep just won't come. So most of my exam days basically turn into a full day spent hunting for lost sleep. 🙄

Susan Rogers86 said:It’s not spelled depp. It’s pronounced "dep," not "dip."😁

Look, I know how to say it, and I'm pretty damn sure I know how to spell it too.

I just can't tell if this is your way of saying

it’s not spelled depp.

meaning:
a) no, it's actually spelled Depp (so you're just correcting me and insisting on the spelling) or
b) it’s not spelled depp (implying the correct spelling is actually Deep).

Funny how one little comma can totally flip the script, right? 😁

What a waste of energy. Here I am, arguing over nothing... unbelievable. 🙂

So you're telling me we aren't even mentioning Deep?! 🤔

Look, I've always had a soft spot for the old guard... But if I'm forced to choose between these kids today, it's definitely going to be Benicio del Toro. 😍

Seriously, go see a specialist!

I dealt with chronic ear infections constantly when I was a kid. Fast forward to now, and I’ve got hearing loss—specifically at those middle speech frequencies. But, I guess my brain just figured out a workaround because my speech audiogram looks totally fine (thank God, right?). Still, the tonal audiogram shows some slight damage left over from all those old infections.

Find yourself a second opinion.

I’m honestly obsessed with the Avene lip balm with cold cream ($15). I just swipe it on whenever I feel like it, and unlike ChapStick or whatever other cheap stuff you find at the drugstore, it actually keeps my lips from drying out. 👍

Charles Young said:It’s tough because they say nicotine addiction is almost as bad as heroin....

Quitting nicotine isn't even that brutal on a physical level. Your body adapts to the lack of it pretty fast.
The mental grip is where things get messy. That’s why every attempt at quitting is basically just a massive test of willpower.
Honestly, if I thought it would be this easy to kick the habit, I would’ve done it ages ago.
You just have to make up your mind!

🙂

This might sound totally ridiculous, but I’ve actually started seeing myself as a non-smoker. And honestly? It’s working. 🙂

...It's all just a mental game...

I didn't even spend days obsessing over quitting. I just lit the last one in the pack and, while it was smoldering away, decided right then and there that this was officially my final cigarette.

The cravings are hitting hard, and I’m basically turning into a total slob cleaning out the fridge... But like my partner always says: You aren't going to light up again just because you're being a stubborn mule; once you set your mind to something, you stick to it.

I keep repeating his words like a mantra! 😂 Honestly, who knows if the willpower will actually hold up? 😁 😎
