On Friday, I had a paper due in my American Civilization course. I hadn't worked on it much, so I had to write 1,250 words in just one day. I knew I was going to have to pull an all-nighter, so at about 11 pm, I drank a can of Monster Energy. I normally don't drink energy drinks, but I was desperate, since all of the coffee shops were closed, I was gonna need something to keep me awake long enough to finish my paper. I stayed up all night into Saturday morning, and turned in my paper after the sun came up. Thank you, caffeine, for helping me stay up late enough to finish my paper. I have learned that monster energy contains 160 milligrams of caffeine. I don't have a lot of body weight, so the caffeine definitely affected me. It started to wear off at maybe 5 or 6 in the morning, but I finished my paper, so it was all fine.
