I am currently a grad student at Columbia University here in NYC. I live in Morningside Heights and downstairs from me is an overpriced market. Surrounding this store are numerous dorms and apartments that house grads and undergrads for both Columbia and Barnard.
One sure way to tell that finals have arrived is when you walk into this grocery store and look at the Red Bull cooler.
This refrigerator was full this morning. This photo was taken around 1pm. Save for a few of the larger cans that are $5 a piece, it is now completely empty with no signs of being restocked when I stopped in this evening. I would hate to think of the havoc all of this plays on one’s heart since I am sure it is being mixed in many cases with Ritalin or Adderall, as those were the hot finals drugs when I was in college. I confess that I love Red Bull, but I also realize that sometimes traditional coffee is all you need.
