How Lollipops Can Improve Your Study Habits

Many people are quick to say that Candy does not improve your work habits. But luckily for all the candy lovers out there I’m going to challenge this belief and tell you the 5 ways in which candy can actually help you concentrate and even improve your work habits. 1. Energy: There no way to avoid the last minute pile of work that you promised yourself you would finish “tomorrow”.   Between those cat videos on YouTube and trying to “Keep up with the Kardashians”, you’ve accidentally dug yourself into a hole of work that you need to be out of by 8am sharp.

All you had to do was share and say hi and it was like you had been friends your entire life. Sometimes I wish it was that easy now. If all I had to do was share a cute little lollipop to get people to be my friend, I would have a hundred friends.

I like to still believe that if I left my house right now and went to someone with a cute little lollipop that maybe I would make a new friend. All you read and hear about is all th
