3 Reasons Why I Can't Stop My Coffee Addiction

I started drinking coffee a couple of years ago, and I honestly cannot stop. I have coffee every morning, and sometimes more than once a day. I know that coffee may not be the healthiest beverage in the world, but it makes me very happy. Therefore, I will continue with my coffee addiction until I get tired of it. However, I really do not see that happening. Instead of trying to get rid of my addiction, I have accepted the fact that it will always be part of who I am.

So here's why I just cannot stop...

1. Coffee has gotten me through some of my hardest academic years

Coffee and academics go great together in my book. My last two years of high-school, I participated in a dual enrollment program. It was the best. I took challenging college courses, got out of school early, and had so much free time. During much of my free time, the only thing that got me motivated to use my time wisely was coffee. Sounds crazy? I know. However, think about it. How can you not go to a coffee shop, sit down with your coffee, and not feel the obligation to be productive? Not only did it help me be productive, but it helped me get through many of my exams. Just the feeling of waking up before an exam and having a nice cup of coffee is one of the best feelings in the world to me. Last but not least, coffee became an essential "comfort drink" for me during the school years. Coffee could be used for comfort in so many ways during the school year. Ace a test? Celebrate with coffee. Fail a test? Grieve with coffee. Trying to overcome the feeling of procrastination? Get your books together and have a coffee. Need I say more? Coffee is just amazing. Now that I am about to go off to college, I think that my coffee addiction based on the academic side of my life will only get worse.

2. Coffee gives me the energy that I need

Each morning that I have my coffee, I instantly feel so refreshed and energized. I usually stay up really late and get up really early for work. Therefore, I just cannot skip coffee in the morning. Skipping coffee? I could never. I think that maybe if I went to bed earlier, then I would not be so dependent on my coffee in the mornings. However, I really do not think that will happen anytime soon... so I might as well enjoy my morning caffeine rides while I can.

3. I work at a local coffee shop

Here's a plot twist you probably did not expect. I work at a coffee shop. I am surrounded by all of the espresso and coffee you could ever think of. Enough said.


In all honesty, I really do not want my coffee addiction to come to an end. Coffee is probably one of the few things that can brighten my mood no matter the circumstances. You know what they say...it is the little things in life that can make a difference. Coffee would be that little thing for me, and it sure does make a difference.

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.

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.
