Being a student can be quite stressful and sometimes frustrating. Especially if you have to wake up early for classes. Aside from that I also need to read at night considering the course I am studying in school, which requires much studying and reading. Reading has become my usual routine so I think my body system has adapted to it very easily since I do it daily.
Another thing I know my body has adapted to is the act of drinking coffee in the morning. I have classes starting every 8:00 am most days. Well out of 5 school days, I have 4 days where I have 8:00 am classes. So most times, my routine requires me to read at night and then go to bed by 2:00 am most times to wake up by 6:00 am to start getting ready for my morning classes which are always important.
My coffee has always been there for me. When I wake up, after my prayers. I make sure I make myself a hot cup of coffee. This usually helps me with starting my day. Sometimes I take it with my meal too. I always feel elevated and ready to start preparing for my classes. A cup of coffee helps me become more awake and aware of my environment. It also helps me go through my daily routine actively.
Most times my friends would all wonder how I do it. Stay in a good mood every morning, well that was because of my early morning cup of coffee.
Well, something terrible happened when I woke up one morning and then I decided to make my cup of coffee. I realized, my coffee had been exhausted. When I had prepared a cup of coffee the day before, I made a mental note to get another one which I thought I did but turns out I didn’t.
I was super grumpy and I just became so angry from that instant. My school cafe doesn’t open so early and whenever it does I am sure I will have a lecture by then. I had no choice but to prepare for class without coffee. I was so sluggish and I was having a bad morning already. On my way to class, I realized that I forgot my school ID card which I never do. I had to go back home and pick it up.
When I finally got to school, I was late already and my lecturer had already shut the door, so I had to sit outside for two hours and learn through the window. I was so restless and I was having a mental breakdown. After the first lecture, I went inside my class, had a sat with my friends and they noticed that I wasn’t in a good position.
They kept asking me what was going on with me, but then I couldn’t tell them I didn’t have my cup of coffee as usual, so I just kept quiet. When my closest friend pulled me closer, I just couldn’t hold it anymore and I started crying. I only felt better afterward and I finally told her about how I missed my cup of coffee and everything didn’t feel right. It was terrible. At one point, she kept saying I need to reduce the way I take my coffee cause my body is already addicted to it.
It was a really scary moment for me and I had a terrible day. Ever since then I always make sure I refill my coffee before it finishes, that way I don’t get to miss out on my coffee.
Has there been any point in your life where you missed your morning coffee? let me know how it felt like in the Cinnamon coffee community.
