Without it, I'd be lost.

An Ode To Iced Coffee

Spring has finally arrived, which means that iced coffee season is here! Although, if you are a true iced coffee fanatic, all year is iced coffee season. Sure, if you are not entirely obsessed with it, you may think that people who drink iced coffee in the middle of winter are crazy. However, this is why gloves were invented. Now that the weather is getting warmer, iced coffee will be in the hands of everyone. Some things just taste better cold, and coffee is definitely one of those things. Iced coffee holds a very special place in my heart, as it does for many other individuals, and here's why:


Iced coffee is the most wonderful thing in the morning.

Any type of coffee is wonderful in the morning. Iced coffee, however, tops all. Whether you brew your own to pour over ice, or make a Starbucks trip on your way to school or work, nothing beats that first sip of chilled perfection.

Iced coffee makes the best mid-day pick me up.

When mid-afternoon rolls around, nothing is worse then feeling sluggish and tired. Especially when there are still hours of school or work left in the day. Iced coffee is the perfect treat that will wake you up, and instantly make you happier.

No need to wait for your coffee to cool down.

How many times have you burned your tongue on a scolding hot drink? Probably a lot.

It is always there for you.

Iced coffee will be there early in the morning, and late at night. It sees you at your worst, and your best, and still continues to be there for you. It supports you through rough mornings and all nighters. The best part is, no matter where you go, iced coffee will most likely be somewhere on the menu (thank God). It really is always by your side.

It is diverse.

From blonde to dark roast, to tall, grande, venti, or trenta, iced coffee is loved and appreciated in all colors, shapes, and sizes.


So many flavors.

Flavored iced coffee is a million times better iced. Dunkin Donuts cookie dough iced coffee is actually heaven sent down from above. Caramel, hazelnut, french vanilla, mocha, and coconut are all great too.

You look better with an iced coffee in hand.

... and feel better too. Can you say basic girl at her finest?


Iced coffee is better for you.

Have you ever heard of cold brew coffee? Cold brew coffee is better for your stomach since the acid levels are about a third of the levels in hot coffee.


It is never a bad idea.

You can make many mistakes in life. Drinking an iced coffee will never be one of them.


Iced coffee, I owe it all to you. Thank you for being one of my favorite things in life. Without you, I wouldn't get through the day, and life would be dismal.They say money can't buy happiness. However, it can buy iced coffee, which is pretty close.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
