11 Things All Coffee Addicts Espresso To Their Non-Coffee Drinking Friends

Instagram

Every coffee enthusiast can relate to at least a few of these points. If you can relate to each one on a personal level then it may be time to give your body a rest and give coffee up for Lent ... just kidding, calm down and grab a latte.

1. The joy of finding a new coffee shop

Frickin love that sh*t. New coffee shops open up so many new possibilities. Reading spot, homework spot, working spot, blogging spot … new coffee-drinking spot.

2. Getting a mug as a gift

Mugs are great gifts regardless, but getting a brand-new mug to hold steaming hot coffee in is just amazing. Bonus points if the mug is actually adorable, funny, etc.

3. Waking up to coffee brewing

Programmable coffee pots are where it’s at. Yes, of course, I would like my coffee to brew two minutes before my alarm goes off so that the entire apartment smells like a warm coffee bean cloud when I awaken from my slumber.

4. People trying to speak to you before you’ve had your coffee

OH, FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE, JUST SHUT UP. Avoiding eye contact or looking at you like I could potentially punch you in your face means that I don’t need your words at this time. Thank you, please return with your conversation started after I’ve consumed some caffeine.

5. Knowing a “small” coffee will never cut it

You think I’m going to survive all day on one small cup of coffee? You would be completely incorrect.

6. Having a day where you just need an IV drip of coffee

Yep, just straight into the vein would be great.

7. Constantly spilling coffee on yourself because you ALWAYS have a cup in-hand

Yes, I’m aware that I have a coffee stain on my shirt. No, I’m not going to change because I’ll just get a coffee stain on the new shirt I put on.

8. Getting over “coffee breath”

That’s just how I smell now. I have accepted it.

9. Trying to explain that you actually like black coffee

It does not taste like feet. I love it. Actually, genuinely love to drink it. So no, I don’t need room for cream.

10. Being able to name a brand of coffee without seeing the label

“Oh yes, that’s Coffee Bean Direct Dark Ethiopian Yirgacheffe.”

11. Owning more coffee mugs than any twelve people would ever need

The mug collections get seriously impressive. Bump showing off this majestic piece of art I have hanging on the wall, check out my 80+ coffee mugs.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Don't Be That Person

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

3090

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
