So like, caffeine is literally the fuel of college life, right? But when does ‘just one more cup’ turn into an addiction? :hot_beverage::thinking: #Help

Bruh, I’ve been downing energy drinks like water for finals. Felt like a superhero at first, but now I’m just jittery AF. Anyone else living this life? :see_no_evil_monkey:

I switched to decaf tea bc my heart races like a TikTok dance battle after too much Red Bull. Smooth descaf moves. #ThankMeLater

Lowkey worried I’m more addicted to the smell of coffee than the actual buzz. Is that a thing? :joy:

Real talk tho: my sleep schedule is as chaotic as my Spotify Wrapped. Caffeine helps me survive, but I think I’m just delaying the inevitable crash. :skull:

Okay, real question: Is caffeine addiction actually better than crashing at 3 AM without finishing your essay? Asking for a friend. :person_shrugging:

Heard somewhere that caffeine withdrawal headaches are like mini hangovers. Can anyone confirm? I need to know what I’m walking into if I cut back. :joy:

Yo, have you guys tried those caffeine-infused skincare products? Like, what’s next, caffeine air fresheners? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Imagine a world without caffeine. Can’t. Literally can’t. What’s the longest y’all have gone without it? I lasted 2 days. #Rip

Caffeine is like a legal drug we use to feel ‘normal’ in this high-paced world. When does it stop being a tool and become a crutch? :exploding_head:

Matcha’s been my savior! Less jittery, more green vibes :herb: Anyone else switched from coffee to matcha and lived to tell the tale?

Capitalism’s quiet pact with caffeine is wild. Keep us productive, keep us addicted. Thoughts? :flushed_face:

Best way to combat caffeine addiction: swap that night coffee for a lofi playlist. Zzz vibes, no regrets. :headphone::sleeping_face:

Caffeine is just the legalized version of pulling an all-nighter. Change my mind. :face_with_tongue:

The day I realized my caffeine fix was an addiction was when I counted 5 empty coffee cups on my desk from one study session. Help? :sos_button:

Anyone tried cutting caffeine cold turkey? Do you regret it or feel reborn? Need some courage to attempt. #CaffeineRehab
