If you're a true coffee lover, then you know that drinking coffee isn't just something that you do during the day, it's a lifestyle. If you're not a coffee drinker, then you probably have no idea what I'm talking about and think I'm crazy. Here are 10 things only coffee lovers will truly understand.

1. The first thing you do in the morning is drink a cup of coffee.

And if you're anything like me, then you do not want to come near me before I've had mine. It's a daily ritual that cannot (and will never) be skipped.

2. You physically cannot make it through the day without having your usual amount of coffee.

Whenever I begin to feel tired and unmotivated during the day, the first thing I do is go back and count how many cups of coffee I've had. And 90 percent of the time, I have then found the solution to my problem: I am one cup of coffee behind schedule.

3. You belong to the rewards program at both Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks.

There may be some people who are loyal to one company over the other, but at the end of the day, they both have pros and cons. So why not just be a fan of both? Sometimes, you go somewhere where only one or the other is available. So you might as well be a rewards member of both just in case!

4. Your go-to hang out idea is grabbing a cup of coffee together.

It doesn't even matter who you're meeting up with, a coffee date is always the answer. There's just something so comfortable and inviting about your local coffee shop that makes it the perfect location for some good conversation.

5. You literally do not understand people who have never had a cup of coffee before.

Are you blind to the clear joy that coffee brings people? Aren't you even just a little curious as to how it tastes? I cannot think of one good reason to not just try one sip of coffee.

6. You have no patience for people who don't need coffee to get through the day.

Please, tell me more about how you haven't been roped into the consumer craze that is the coffee business or how you just have so much natural energy that you don't even need to drink any coffee. Also, I really don't care if it's "bad for you," I will continue to drink it on a daily basis.

7. Your motivation to get through daily activities is the cup of coffee you're going to get after you finish them.

"OK, all I need to do is make it through this class, and then I can finally get a cup off coffee."

"I can't wait to get out of work and grab some coffee!"

Whenever the day gets tough, you can always rely on the joy of coffee to relieve the pain.

8. You know the emotional pain of a barista preparing your drink poorly.

For those of you who might not know the feeling, imagine you've spent all day creating high expectations for something, and once it happens, it's nothing like you expected, and your hopes and dreams have been completely shattered. That may sound extreme, and it should. People always say, "You can just ask them to make you another one," but, at this point, I do not want to wait any longer, I just need to persevere and get through the rest of my day.

9. You've had a barista memorize your order.

There is no greater feeling than walking up to the counter and the barista already knowing what you're going to order. It's like the stars have aligned and your coffee experience has just gotten a hundred times better. Finally, someone that just gets you!

10. And finally, tea is good, but it will never compare to coffee.

Tea might be "healthier" and "more natural," but when it comes to your mental health and sanity, tea will never be able to replace the role coffee plays in your life.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
