So the completion of first semester is quickly approaching which means my consumption of Red Bull is also quickly increasing. As disgusting and unhealthy this may sound, during midterms, I estimated that I drank approximately 12 cans of Red Bull within a 3 day span. Hmmm...it makes me wonder how many cans I will be drinking within the next couple of days leading up to finals. So far my count is about 8 cans within the last 48 hours but the funny thing is, I've done no studying. For those that know me, I'm notorious for having some form of energy drink in my hand throughout the course of the day (especially for the 8am Development of Self class). I remember telling a fellow nursing student while we were studying for our Anatomy midterm how my stomach was bothering me and how it felt really hard (and that's not cause I have abs) and she told me it was from all the Red Bull that I've been drinking because it contains a lot of caffeine. After exams, I went to inquire with my family doctor in regards to the stomach problems I've been having and all he asked what my diet consisted of and then he followed by telling me to stop drinking the energy drinks. Clearly, I have not taken his advice to stop drinking them because as I'm writing this post, there is a can sitting right in front of me and another can in my backpack. Hopefully, I'll eventually kick the habit since as a nurse, I need to take care of myself in order for me to be able to take care of my patients.
