Each year, YIGsters spend countless hours debating bills, filming the news, and taking care of executive business. They are forced to stay awake until unholy hours of the night, making sure their work gets done. This makes for some serious sleep deprivation for many.
People have their own ways of coping. For many, the answer is easy: caffeine. Whether it be coffee or tea, Coke or Pepsi, or Rockstar and Red Bull, some YIGsters just need their fix.
“I have energy drinks, I have caffeine pills, I have coffee…I’m pretty set,” Claire Hibbs, Columbia Delegation, and Speaker of the house announced happily in the local coffee shop, Café Via Roma.
Some thought ahead and brought their own supplies. Others have loving advisors who take care of them.
“I told Mrs. Hoffman that I needed caffeine, and she went to Wal-Mart and got me Amp. She’s a lifesaver,” Julie White said about her advisor from Francis Howell Central.
But the going can get rough. Where in Jeff City can one find a proper fix?
The answer is surprisingly easy. There are several ways. Nos is for sale in the vending machines in the Capitol Plaza Hotel. MC2, Frappuccinos, Amp, Monster, Rip, and various sodas are sold in the Hawthorn Room in the basement of the Capital Building. And of course, there is coffee for sale at Café Via Roma, and in the lobby of the hotel.
So for the weekend YIGsters may be hopped up on caffeine and other forms of energy, but they wouldn’t have it any other way. They are driven and motivated and ready to get their work done, and will do whatever it takes to get that taken care of.
