5 reasons why coffee shops are the greatest:

1. Coffee

Well obviously unlimited coffee just a few steps away is pretty convenient. Especially for coffee addicts like me! There’s nothing like sitting on an overly comfy couch with your fav drink while catching up with an old friend about all the latest gossip. Also, coffee shops are filled with unique and amazing people, so don’t be surprised when you meet a new friend or two.

2. Atmosphere

Coffee shops always have the aroma of coffee in the air; with the great seating and exceptional hospitality, there’s a latte to love. There is always cozy lighting and picture-perfect coffee mugs. For me, I love being curled up on a comfy couch with natural light coming through the windows, while I read a great book.

3. Latte Art (DUH)

Of course, latte art is important, but not all baristas can create great latte art. Once the perfect latte art is found, you are ready to enjoy. Drinking a latte with great latte art can be life-changing, there is nothing better than drinking your fav vanilla latte with a heart. Presentation is everything. With every beautifully artistic latte must come a delicious treat, whether it’s a macaroon, a muffin, or a bagel.

4. Free WiFi

In this day and age, free wifi is everything to a college student. Nothing is more annoying than not having wifi to turn in an important essay on time. Free wifi makes the coffee shop experience that much more enjoyable. Free wifi could also involve streaming your fav movie or song! Coffee shops are meant for having a great time, do enjoy yourself. Free wifi always helps, no more using all of your data.

5. Great Study Area

Along with the great atmosphere, being able to relax and get some homework done is the key to college success. Finding the perfect study nook is hard to do, but coffee shops make it so much easier for us. Coffee shops hold the perfect mixture of a bright, social atmosphere, but is also good for studying. Working in a cafe is a nice break from the normal study routines. Different scenery sometimes helps with work ethic too! I know I love a fresh new place to study and work. What's better than breaking old habits and starting new ones?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
