Northwestern students say they like caffeine, but which drinks are their favorite?
March is National Caffeine Month, so the Northwestern News asked three students what kind of caffeinated beverages they like.
Laney Neal, a freshman nursing major, said she has been drinking coffee every day to celebrate National Caffeine Month.
“My favorite Starbucks drink is a caramel Frappuccino because I am that basic girl that loves caramel,” she said. “I drink it every day so I can get through every day and all my classes. … I don’t worry about having too much caffeine because I eat other things that are more concerning.”
Danielle Soliz, a sophomore nursing major, said she didn’t know it was National Caffeine Month.
“My favorite Starbucks drink is a vanilla and hazelnut latte because it tastes good,” she said. “I use my drink to get energy for the day. I have about one or two cups of coffee a day. I don’t worry about becoming addicted to caffeine because I maintain the amount I intake. I think caffeine is bad for you, but no, I don’t worry about it being bad for me.”
Camille Soderstrom, a junior education major, said she also didn’t know it was National Caffeine Month. But now that she does, she will drink her coffee with a little more enthusiasm, she said.
“My favorite Starbucks drink is a mocha cookie crumble Frappuccino,” she said. “I don’t worry about becoming addicted to caffeine because I only use it to make it through my assignments. I don’t think I will ever consume enough caffeine to become addicted, so I don’t see that ever being a problem unless it is finals week.”
