16 Signs You're A Coffee Addict

I have an addiction and I'm proud.

You know that person you see in class who constantly has a cup of coffee in their hand? Probably a coffee addict. A coffee addict is a person who can't imagine life, or even a day, without coffee, and you probably don't want to be around when that day comes. And when you meet one, you know.

1. You don't procrastinate, you procaffeinate, meaning you can't get anything done until you've had caffeine.

Is energy supposed to come naturally? No.

2. You've been outside 8:15 waiting when they unlock the door and open.

Sorry I look like a crazy coffee stalker.

3. Caffeine is the base of your food pyramid.

It's probably really unhealthy but whatever.

4. You can't go to class without getting coffee first.

If I'm late you know why. How am I expected to get participation points without having caffeine first?

5. Getting a headache is an excuse to just drink more caffeine.

I just need a coffee IV that would solve all of my problems.

6. You own enough mugs to supply everyone you know.

One for every day of the week? More like every day of the month.

7. If a normal person consumed the amount of caffeine you do on a daily basis, they would probably be so jittery it would terrify them.

I'm used to my hands being shaky by now. I swear I'm fine.

8. The only thing that gets you out of bed in the morning is thinking about that glorious first cup of the day.

We all just need an alarm clock that also brews coffee, am I right?

9. One cup is never enough.

Ten cups is never enough.

10. You go to Starbucks at least once, sometimes twice, a day.

They employees know your order like it's their own.

11. That being said, you're a Starbucks gold member.

The day you got that last precious star you were so happy you almost cried.

12. You're not about those fancy drinks that are not real coffee. Coffee is coffee, you don't need anything else in it.

I like to color coordinate my coffee with my clothes and my soul, actually. Black.

13. You know that a bad cup of coffee is still better than no cup of coffee.

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

14. The employees at the coffee shop you frequent know your order before you even say anything.

Sometimes you even order something new and realize they weren't listening when your name is called and it's your usual order.

15. You know that any kind of coffee that comes in a can is horrible.

Do you know how much sugar is in those things? Any sugar and sugar at all is too much.

16. You're just a college student.

Just let us live.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.
