You'll Be Surprised By This Tea

Everybody has their own way of making tea, but one way is clearly the most superior. It's like comparing drinking water - sure, pool water is water, but would you rather drink diluted bleach water or a cool bottle of Fiji? In the same vein, although several options of tea exist, why drink the horrible kind when you could drink the best?

First of all, avoid iced tea at all costs, especially sweet iced tea. If you want cold tea, put it in the refrigerator. You're just getting scammed if you want to pay for frozen water, which will eventually melt and make your perfectly good tea bland. The only reason to avoid sweet iced tea is so that you don't get stereotyped as Southern - but maybe you want to be, in which case, order away.

Any kind of tea that Starbucks sells is again, automatically canceled. Save your five dollars for something better than overpriced bitter water. And lastly, any tea that comes from a bag is also automatically canceled, simply because it isn't classy enough.

So, what kind of tea should you drink? Loose leaf, obviously. Served hot. Specifically, chai, and specifically extremely milky and sugary. This is for added health benefits. Milk will strengthen your bones more than tea without milk will, which will likely help prevent your chance of developing osteoporosis. Sugar will give you a rush of energy, which you can then harness to exercise.

Many people look down on those who drink tea with a lot of milk. These people probably have broken a bone, if not several bones, before. On the other hand, I drink my tea with plenty of milk, and I have never broken a bone. Sugar is also essential to a balanced diet - even fruits contain sugar. Certain vegetables contain sugar as well, if not all. I have eaten fruit and vegetables, but I enjoy drinking tea more. Those against sugared tea simply enjoy drinking things that don't taste good, or perhaps they have never eaten a fruit or vegetable before. One could argue that a cup of tea is like eating salad - after all, tea comes from leaves.

In conclusion, your tea must be loose leaf, chai, milky, and sugary. It cannot be iced or sweet - there is a clear distinction between sweet tea and sugary tea that is profound and deep. Would you rather eat a salad or drink tea? Would you rather break your legs or not break them? The answers to these questions will lead to the clearly superior answer.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
