Coming from the great Pacific Northwest, I totally disagree on the Starbucks note, . Their normal drip is not usually “bold;” rather, their house blend, which is a mild roast, is their type of roast that they sell on drip. Granted, each Starbucks will market different sets of drips that target their audience and their latest product. So a larger, standalone, drive-thru station may or may not have the same quantity of house blends than, say, a small Starbucks in a mall or plaza.
Now what I would have suggested is to stop the chugging of three or four triple or quad Ventis of any coffee, unless you’re like me who is too immune now for such shots that it causes me to sleep more than it does wake me up. Be thankful there are no 24-hour Starbucks in Nashville (and if there are, there are very limited few) — that can get really interesting at 3 am in the morning studying for a Final at 8 am.

Do you know what day the ED I letters will be mailed out this year? Last year it was earlier than the 15th, and I was curious as to when to begin checking the mailbox?
Thanks!

Where’s the gym on this list? I don’t know about you but a good run, zumba, and pilates for two hours gets your mind off of it. After all, if you’re not sleeping since you’ve got the ED on your mind, I’d definitely recommend hitting up the gym rather than eating the Lay’s and watching the clock. And on the Starbucks note, as much as I love my tea’s and coffees — been unable to have them for 72 hours ‘cuz of this teeth whitening. I was told a little Mountain Dew (which won’t stain your teeth, clearly *NO PUN INTENDED*) will give you the caffeine boost 😉

Starbucks is okay. Just be careful about drinking too much coffee because it can cause teeth stains.
