Coffee gives the students energy to tackle the day

  A morning coffee is one of the most important parts of a student's morning, or so they think. It’s what helps a student get through the day after staying up late doing homework or working.

  Does coffee really help a student in the morning or is it just in their head? A few students did a test to see if it  really helps.

  Four students did an experiment to see the difference between a morning with coffee and a morning without coffee.

  “I never go anywhere in the morning without some coffee, I always get my coffee from Tim Hortons.  I tried going one morning without coffee and I couldn’t concentrate at all. I was dozing off and was crabby all day,” Jacob Schroeder (‘16).

  Bo Devroy had a different experience. “I usually don’t drink coffee in the morning but I tried it one morning. My coffee from Tim Hortons didn’t help me concentrate, it really did nothing for me, that's why I normally don't drink it,” Bo Devroy (‘16).

  It has been back and forth between students. Some say it helps some say it does absolutely nothing.

  “I normally don’t drink coffee in the morning but when I do I feel it does help me concentrate, I feel like I am more focused and awake when I do drink it. I either get my coffee from Tim Hortons or Speedy Q,” Adam Cook (‘16)

  “I definitely drink coffee in the mornings after a long night at work. It really does help me concentrate. I tried not drinking it and all I could think about was going home so I could sleep, I make my own coffee at home I normally don’t go out to get one unless I’m running late,” Zach Helton (‘16).

   This experiment found that the students that normally drink it in the morning can’t go without it and that non coffee drinkers were not affected by it. Many drink coffee in the mornings and maybe they really don't need to, but it all depends on the student.
