I’m A Coffee Addict ergo, I’m A Drug Addict

   With all the sleepless nights there are in preparing for exams and reports, i have been caffeine dependent since i started College in UP. I had to rely on coffee to keep me up in the wee hours of the morning when studying for an exam or cramming a report. Bacchus (an energy drink) has always been a constant companion of mine during hell weeks. It kept me up while answering exams and helped me get through days where I walked the hallways of the College of Engineering like a zombie — unresponsive and lutang.

Coffee has always been a part of my morning regimen for the past 5 years. Since the schoolyear has started, I neglected my daily ritual of starting the day with a mug of hot coffee. Anyway, i observed that i was irritable and tired most of the time. 

When i stumbled  upon the picture above while surfing the net, i learned that i was being physically dependent on caffeine and just like quitting your smoking habits (i recommend using electronic cigarettes so that quitting would be easier), you would also experience withdrawal symptoms such as tiredness, decreased energy level and irritability (TADA! I was experiencing withdrawal symptoms myself). 

Anyway, I find it funny to think that drinking coffee is just like taking drugs. So, does that mean I’m a drug addict already? LOL.
