my favorite place ever

Image
  I absolutely love taking pictures, and I took this one from the Mauna Loa observatory on Hawaiʻi Island. It just got even more special to me because Mauna Loa is currently erupting and the lava has cut off the access road to this place, so I can never get back here again. I made so many good memories up here though and Iʻm glad I can keep those forever.

the science behind my lunchtime coffee

 I have found that if I drink my cup of coffee during lunch, or slightly after, my day will work just perfectly. Here's why; When I wake up at 7:30 for this class, and the first thing I reach for is an energy drink, or coffee, I feel great during the class. But then when I get around to my last class at 2, I am crashing, and I no longer want to go. Which often leads me to skip the class or go to sleep for a nap that ends up being way too long because my 2:00 classes aren't super important lol. But I have found that when I drink caffeine at around 1, it wakes me up for my 2:00 class and then I go and pay attention and after it gets out, I can go sit somewhere and have extra energy to do a bunch of homework for a while. So I have adapted my lunchtime coffee to my schedule most days and it works perfectly. And on days that I don't have caffeine with lunch, and I decide to have it later, I have a really great workout, and feel very energized, but after, I don't go to sleep
