My Coffee Addiction Is Real

I've slowly grown to accept that I'm 100% addicted to caffeine in the preferred form of coffee.

As a child I remember trying coffee and thinking that it was the worst tasting thing that I had ever drank. Wow, I was such a naive child. Being a senior in college, I can firmly say that coffee is now one of the best things I have ever drank.

I never thought that I would be the type of person who becomes addicted to coffee. I know that caffeine is an addictive substance, so I was always so against drinking anything that had caffeine in it. That has not lasted very long considering I live off caffeine now that I'm in college.

There have been some recent events that have occurred in my life that helped me to realize that I am fully addicted to caffeine, and not just any caffeine. I'm addicted to coffee, Coffee, COFFEE!!

I once went to Starbucks for the first time in a while. The lady questioned where i had been because she had not seen me for a while. I knew I might of had a problem then.

Not long ago I was on my way to work and stopped to get a donut, which was going to make me late, but I was hungry. I went to Dunkin and the worker questioned why I did not order my usual. I knew I might have a problem then.

The other day I was driving to my internship and I had not had any coffee at all that day. I just felt a little weird, like I was a zombie for the day. Thats when it happened; I drove down the wrong lane in the parking lot. People just stared at me while I tried to awkwardly turn around in a handicap parking spot. It was then that I finally accepted that I was addicted to coffee.

Shortly after that my family went on a small vacation to see family out of town. In the morning my family was giving me a hard time because I was being moody and all that up until I had my morning coffee. My coffee just fixed the day. I knew that because I am addicted to coffee.

I'm not one to discriminate against coffee. Some people have specific places they go for coffee. Examples include: Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and Panera. I don't care where I get my coffee from, I just need coffee in order to live.

Like Lorelai Gilmore says, "I need caffeine. Whatever form you've got. I haven't had any all day. I'll drink it, shoot it, eat it, snort it, whatever form it's in. Gimme!"

One order of coffee in an I.V for me today. I'll need it to survive my coffee addiction.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

722

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
