Since first tasting a Starbucks frappuccino when she was 9 years old, senior Elie Pazin now drinks a variety of caffeinated beverages.

“I don’t really have Starbucks ever now,” said Pazin. “But sophomore year was Starbucks and BUBBL’R and Celsius and everything at once, and it was just not good.”

During her sophomore year, Pazin regularly consumed five to six cans of BUBBL’R a day, she said.

In the first three months of this school year, she drank 142 cans of BUBBL’R, Pazin said.

“Every time I finish a BUBBL’R, I take a video of me smooshing it,” said Pazin. “I’ve been counting.”

Tracking the cans of BUBBL’R she drinks is one way she keeps herself accountable, Pazin said.

Pazin constantly sees advertisements for caffeinated drinks on social media.

“A lot of the [dancers] that I follow on social media, regardless of what college they’re at, they have some kind of partnership or are ambassadors for BUBBL’R, for Celcius, for Alani,” Pazin said.

“There’s an expectation that you join clubs, that you get involved in school,” said Pazin.“There’s an expectation that you get involved outside of school … When you come home, you still want to have time for yourself to stay sane. I think caffeine is a result of that everywhere.”
