6 Reasons My Coffee Addiction Is Totally Justified And Totally Heathy

And yes, I wrote this is a cup of coffee in my hand.

There's no doubt that everyone has some sort of addiction. Some people are addicted to nicotine, while others are addicted to the feeling you get after a long workout. For me (and many others), that addiction is coffee. Not caffeine necessarily—just coffee in general. I can't really go anywhere without stopping for coffee first, regardless of what time of day it is. Many say my coffee addiction is unhealthy, while others say it's a waste of money. I'm here to tell those people to suck it while I suck on the straw of my venti iced blonde caramel macchiato with a double shot of espresso.

1. Coffee transforms me into an entirely different person.

You hear people say all the time, "Don't talk to me until I've had my morning coffee." There's a reason it's a popular phrase. I swear, coffee morphs me into a completely different human being. Even if I've been awake for hours, it will still give me an extra kick. After that sweet first sip, my eyes get brighter, I'm able to form coherent sentences, and I can even smile like I actually mean it.

2. My coffee addiction is FAR less harmful than other things out there.

Oh, I'm sorry, would you rather me be addicted to cigarettes? Or better yet, maybe cocaine? How about you come and talk to me when you finish smoking that last cigarette in your pack. I know caffeine isn't the best for you, but neither is half of the other crap everyone puts into their bodies.

3. It's my money and I'll spend it how I want to.

I'm sure if I added up every coffee purchase I've ever made, the dollar amount would be a little jaw-dropping. But it's really not that bad in comparison to what people spend on other things. Cigarettes aren't cheap. Even bottles of cheap booze can still rack up a pretty hefty tab. How about you worry about your money, and I'll worry about mine.

4. Coffee not only makes me feel like a new person, but it tastes great too.

There are so many different kinds of coffee and flavor combinations out there. You can always count on Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts to come out with their holiday-flavored drinks. Aside from these corporate coffee giants, a lot of local cafes have their own house blends and specialty drinks (which are usually better anyway).

5. Coffee is one of the many things that brings me happiness and joy.

Like I stated before, coffee transforms me into a more functional person. But not only that, coffee just makes me more pleasant. I can be a pretty cranky person sometimes, and coffee counteracts that side of me. So unless you want to deal with that side of me, I suggest you let me stop through the drive-thru real quick.

6. It's really none of your damn business anyways.

Who cares how much coffee I drink? Is my white chocolate mocha personally affecting the way you live your life? No? Didn't think so.

The next time you see me with a coffee in hand, just know that it's probably my third or fourth one of the day and that I am doing just fine.

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.
