I'm all about a good coffee shop.

5 Knoxville Coffee Shops You Must Visit
Sophie Siepmann

I moved to Knoxville about a month ago, and my favorite part so far is exploring. While on my excursions around town, I came across a few coffee shops I wish I could spend every day in. Check them out!



1. Backroads Market and Design

Not only can you enjoy a cup of coffee and a simple yet delicious toast from the menu, you can shop and explore the vintage home goods and glorious candle scents offered. You are guaranteed to want every single thing in the store. A personal favorite - the hanging porch bed. One of the cutest local coffee shops I've been to yet - a must.


2. The Blue Mason Coffeehouse

Only a few seconds away from Backroads, Blue Mason is a cozy little coffee shop with great drink options including my favorite- the Lavender Latte, and the Peanut Butter Latte. Also, all iced beverages are served in, fittingly, blue mason jars. River Sports outdoors, an essential outdoors store for anyone with an adventurous soul, is right behind Blue Mason. A perfect combination for a Saturday excursion.

3. Awaken Coffee

Awaken Coffee lies in the heart of Old City. It's open until 11p.m. on some days, so it's perfect for a late study night. There is a church tucked away in the back of this shop, a great use of space and a perfect way to end a church service is with a great cup of coffee.The coffee is unlike any other in Knoxville, as Awaken is the only coffee shop to provide Quills Coffee from Louisville, KY. Every experience at Awaken Coffee is unique.

4. Remedy Coffee

Remedy Coffee has a simple yet perfect menu. The coffee is out of this world, however you take it. With exposed ceilings and modern furniture and hip alternative music always playing, Remedy is a great place to enjoy a cappuccino (so good here) with a few lovely people and engage in great conversation. There's a "coffee & conversation" mural that is a perfect photo-op for your latest Instagram. If you're in the mood for a treat, you can walk a few feet to Makers Donuts. These donuts are the best I've ever had and worth the splurge.


5. K-Brew

Knoxville is a 10/10 for atmosphere. With a little semi-outdoor area with several hammocks set up for you to enjoy a cup of coffee while you study or enjoy the company and conversation of a few buddies. The coffee is stellar and the baristas are so kind. A go-to for lots of UT students and must try for everyone.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
