5 Reasons Why Coffee Is The Love Of My Life

Coffee has my heart.

Coffee is pretty much the best thing in my life -- and definitely the sole reason that I've gotten through finals alive. It's there for me when I need it most. Here's why it's the love of my life and totally better than any boy:

1. It's the reason I wake up every morning

Every morning when I wake up, my foremost thought is, "God, I hope there's still hot coffee in the pot." The common phrase, "Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee" is ridiculously accurate every morning. When I don't want to go to class or to work in the morning, coffee works better to get me out of bed than my alarm clock ever will.

2. It's the only thing keeping me going throughout the day

When I've had a rough day -- or know I'm about to have one -- coffee is always there to push me forward. When I have a test to take during my next class, coffee gives me the energy to walk into the classroom. When I have a long essay to write, coffee helps me stay awake and push me through those last few paragraphs. When I have long shift ahead of me, coffee helps me to put on my wide, fake customer service smile. It's like gasoline for a car, without coffee constantly in my system, I wouldn't be going anywhere.

3. It's always there to give me a much needed pick-me-up, or just put me in a good mood

On a good day, I've lost track of the number of coffees I've had by noon. When I'm feeling down, coffee immediately puts me in a good mood. While some people sit around and drink tea while they meditate and do some yoga to relax and get into a good mood, I turn to coffee (don't get me wrong, I like tea at times too). Coffee goes perfectly with a good book and a soft blanket on a rainy day and no matter the circumstance, a cup of coffee in my hand always makes me feel a little bit better.

4. It always helps me achieve my goals

Whether my goals for the day be to paint an entire house or just to get out of bed, coffee helps me to get there. I'm completely useless before I've had a cup of joe every morning, but once I do, I can do just about anything. Personally, my friends bribe me with coffee whenever they can, asking me to help clean their rooms or help them study if only they give me a mug filled with java. And it works every time.

5. It makes me light up just at the sight (or smell) of it

When I wake up in the morning and see the coffee pot filled with fresh java, my eyes become hearts. A steaming cup of coffee on the kitchen table makes my heart skip a beat. The smell alone brings a smile to my face. A cup of coffee in the morning is better than being a little kid on Christmas (although coffee on Christmas morning is pretty hard to top).

All in all, coffee is the love of my life. And it won't make me cry the same way that boys do. Coffee is there for me when I need it and love me back. Plus, it only breaks my heart when I run out of money for a refill.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
