13 Signs You're Totally Addicted To Coffee

At one point or another, each person will come across the magical gift of coffee. Some love it, some hate it, and some become completely and utterly obsessed with it. If you're like me, you probably fall into the last category. Whether you're a Starbucks fanatic, a Dunkin' Donuts regular, or a good ol' home brewer, coffee has become a daytime staple and a loyal companion. Here are some signs that your coffee craze has transformed into full-blown addiction. After all, there are far worse things to be addicted to, right?

1. You can drink it at any time of day and feel totally fine.

A morning cup of joe is practically a requirement. But, drinking cups of coffee throughout the day is completely normal and also expected of you. Drink it before bed while studying or unwinding? No biggie. You'll be able to sleep in no time, anyway.

2. Because it's not about energy, it's more about functioning.

What better way to transform into a pleasant person who can tolerate all of the annoying people around you? Exactly. There isn't one.

3. Bulk K-Cups are the best kind of K-Cups.

They're not only cheaper in the long run, but you'll probably go through all 120 of those in about a month tops. Sorry not sorry.

4. The words "turbo shot" give you butterflies.

Sometimes (a.k.a. most times) a regular amount of caffeine just isn't enough. Turbo shots give you that extra zing: they're like your little cheerleader who gets you through the toughest all-nighters, work days, and basic human functions.

5. You have your order down to a literal science.

You know how you like your coffee, so why not be a little demanding? Your super specific medium iced coffee with however many pumps of creamer, liquid sugar, and flavor combos may sound shocking to your friends, but your barista totally gets it. Unless you like black coffee...more power to you, brave one.

6. You could brew a cup/pot of coffee with your eyes closed (and you usually do).

You've pretty much mastered the art of stumbling into your kitchen, pressing the correct amount of buttons, and letting the coffee pot or Keurig brewer do its thing. If you're a particularly wise wizard, you even set up your pot for brewing the night before. Bless your soul.

7. All of the closest Dunkin'/Starbucks locations are committed to memory (and autopilot).

You may even find yourself mindlessly driving to these places when you don't intend to. Don't kid yourself, you totally intended to.

8. Your friends and family know that mugs are a go-to gift.

Your kitchen cabinets are filled with so many assorted mugs that you might as well start a full-blown collection...or maybe you should call the Guinness Book of World Records.

9. After a long day, coffee is your favorite way to "treat yo self."

Because coffee isn't only great with breakfast (and lunch...and dinner), it also makes an AWESOME dessert! Plus, adulting is hard, so you deserve it.

10. Your friends are disgusted with how much coffee you can actually consume.

They ask you how you fall asleep at night, if you get super jittery, and criticize your addiction. Or, if they're good friends, they're just as addicted as you are and are your willing coffee date companions. Those ones are the keepers.

11. Finding a cool new coffee shop is like hitting the Powerball jackpot.

Sure Starbucks, Dunkin, and your other favorite chains are cool, but let's not forget to mention those hidden gems: the small, hipster, local coffee shops that smell kind of funny but have the best coffee EVER. Hometown pride at its finest.

12. Your bank statement is littered with tons of little $2 to $5 charges.

And when I say tons, I literally mean tons. You're a valuable coffee shop customer (and probably a rewards member.

13. No coffee? Bring on the headaches.

Last, and most definitely worst, are the withdrawal headaches. If you can't grab a cup of coffee at some point throughout the day, you'll definitely be reaching for the Tylenol...or you'll be super grumpy, so watch out, world.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
