As we race toward the final stretch of the semester, the dread of approaching exams, projects, and deadlines is starting to take hold. Stress levels may be rising, but there is one thing that can help make long study sessions a bit more bearable: the right drink to keep you fueled and focused. With final exams just around the corner, we polled Roanoke College students to find out which beverages available on campus are helping them stay productive as they power through this final month.
The winner of the poll? Rooney’s coffee, with a solid 13 votes. Whether it’s the rich, bold flavor, or the much-needed caffeine boost, Rooney’s coffee remains the go-to for many students during study sessions.
Coming a close second was Rooney’s refreshers, earning 12 votes. Known for its refreshing fruity taste and lighter caffeine content, it is a perfect choice for those who want to stay alert without the heavy jolt of traditional coffee.
Rounding out the top three is the Freshens smoothie, which earned 9 votes. For students looking for something a little healthier, these smoothies provide a delicious mix of fruit and protein to keep both the mind and body in top shape.
As the end of the semester is drawing near, it is clear that whether it’s a cup of coffee, a refreshing drink, or a healthy smoothie, students have their drink preferences locked down when it comes to staying productive.
Good luck with the last few weeks of the school year and may your study session be filled with your favorite sips!
