The Love Of Coffee And Culture Go Hand In Hand

People all over the world love coffee, the smell of the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the satisfying taste of so many different flavors. There is even a coffee culture, and you may ask what is coffee culture. Well, coffee culture is defined as the social interactions that are related to coffee and coffee houses.

Brigitte Tohm

This is simply people who enjoy coffee in a social setting, Coffee culture actually dates back to the 14th century in Turkey, where coffeehouses were considered a social hub and as well as artistic and intelligent centers. Today coffeehouses have the modern comfort where you can sit on a comfy couch drink your coffee of choice, a place to charge your phone, tablet, and computer since we are always on those things. and even get free WIFI.

But even though these are modern to us, these are based on the cafes of old, they are providing a space where you can free your mind, relax, and socialize with others.

Coffee may give us that perk we need in the morning or throughout the day depending on how much you drink, the love of coffee culture stems from more of the old fashion values because people use to drink coffee and talk about their ideas or have meaningful conversations about art or music.

Nowadays you still have that social interaction and meaningful conversations, but you also get a unique experience, many coffeehouses have interesting decore such as steampunk or industrial style, if that is not your scene don't fret there are so many out there that you will find the one that fits your aesthetic.

Coffee used to be associated with social status, people who were wealthy could drink java in it's purest form, while others enjoyed it mixed with chicory, which is an ingredient found in many instant coffees. In coffee culture, people love the nostalgia of coffeehouse some even seek out old coffeehouses or cafes to drink in the history of it.

Even in our modern coffeehouse, we have so many different and unique types of coffee to choose from. But all or at least most will have the freshest coffee beans ground to perfection to make the best-tasting coffee.

Cyril Saulnier

I have been a coffee lover since I was around 10 years old, probably shouldn't have started that young but oh well. I'm not a lover of most flavored coffees, I like your classic americano and the only holiday coffee I will drink is Starbucks holiday spice flat white.

And since people love different things, that means there is a coffee out there for everyone. You have your Pumpkin Spice Latte lovers all the way down to people who only drink black coffee, or your cappuccino lovers out there. Coffee is something everyone can enjoy and talk about, and you have a place you can go and socialize with friends unwind after a long day at work.

So if you are looking for something to do on the weekends, you can just stroll down to your local coffeehouse, and enjoy a cup of your favorite coffee and soak up the warmth and aroma and just enjoy the atmosphere around you.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
