I'm not an addict, baby.

For the past three days, I have not had one sip of caffeinated diet coke. Anyone that knows me well, probably just fell out of their seat. I LOVE diet coke. No, I do not drink it in moderation. I drink an unhealthy amount of diet coke every day and sadly, I love it! Because of some recent (very MINOR) health issues, I have had to limit my diet coke intake. I barely survived the last three days without it. Although diet coke will no longer play such a prominent role in my life, I would like to list some of the reasons why I love it so much:


1) The taste. Not too sweet but just enough that I don't feel like I need to gorge myself on chocolate (even though I sometimes do anyway).

2) This commercial. Have you seen this one withe bubbles and roller skates? Adorable. ( the real music video for this song is too ridiculous to be taken seriously. I think they're at a rave or something? I love the glow sticks in the girl's shorts. And I'm sure being "starry-eyed" has nothing to do with diet coke but whatever.)

3) School. Basically everyone that buys a diet coke or any coke product is contributing to my college education. Thanks!

4) The caffeine. These past few days have shown me how dependent I really am and it's pretty sad actually. Although I won't be dependent on it any more, I am grateful for all of the classes that it helped me stay awake through.

5) The friends. You wouldn't believe how many friends I've made because of my love for diet coke. Let's just say, I am not alone.


Well, it has been a fun 5-8 years of addiction. The realization of my sickness has been difficult, but I am glad to start off the summer decaffeinated.
