I never drank soda, except to mix with drinks, but that was only because soda was cheaper than fruit juice. The first full carbonated beverage I ever had was a beer. I am of the opinion that soda is the worst thing you can put in your body, with the exception of cigarettes (guilty). I am so glad my parents never drank it themselves, otherwise I would probably be addicted to that too.
To keep my post relevant, today I found out that my school does not have my study abroad transcript yet. I want my 8 credits of A. If I get shafted out of that, it will have been four grand, and 26 days of my life wasted. Plus opportunity cost. ****.
