An Ode To Black Coffee

Thank you.

An Ode To Black Coffee
Metro

Black coffee:

I thank you for working miracles for me, even though I know you can't respond with "You're welcome."

You really have gotten me through a lot. I wake up in the morning and I feel better knowing that you will be there for me; knowing that you will always be there for me. You give me the energy to take on my day. You give me the gifts of happiness and joy. You even help me to remember what I have to do for the day. Thank you. You are the best.

Your color is so dark and reflective. You remind me that everyone is different. Everyone has a different color; not one looking identical to the other. We all come from different places. You, I know, come from Costa Rica. Everyone is different. The others come from all over the world.

I know not all are made to be strong, but you are strong and bold. Almighty you are. The others like the way they are: weak and bitter. Sometimes I find you slightly bitter, but most of the time you are perfect to me. Even if you are bitter, you are loyal.

Your aromatic fragrance is something else I appreciate. You always change it up. Some days your scent is French Vanilla, and others it is Southern Pecan. Every day, it is invigorating. Your smell is charming to most, especially to me. Bridging the gap of time from childhood memories to present day indulgence, you draw everyone to where you are located. Most of the time you are in the kitchen.

You have changed a lot. You have been around for so long that people became creative. They came up with different ways to make you who you are. You are always dressed in different colors, covering your body and giving you character. I would never dare to judge you based on what you are dressed in.

Your warmth is what I like the most on a cold day. I love having you right next to me to keep me warm. Even on a hot day, you are there to cool me down and take some of the heat away. I love having you there next to me no matter the weather.

I appreciate you. You have always been there, leading me to the right choices. You bring a kind of love into my life that makes me feel warm all over. You make my heart race. Strangely, you relax me at the same time.

You bring people together! Everyone loves taking pictures of you. You are so good to me, so good for me. You are stylish and personal. You are unique!

You are my coffee.

Thank you, black coffee.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
