An Ode To Iced Coffee

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.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
