Coffee Drinks You Can Brew In Your Dorm That Actually Don't Suck

So, you're already running out of funds on that pre-paid Starbucks giftcard your grandmother blessedly bestowed upon you before returning to school, or you've desperately settled that cafeteria coffee just isn't cutting it anymore (did it really ever 'cut it' to begin with?). Plain drip coffee is boring, but you don't have time to whip up some extensive specialty drink in the 15 minute window of precious sleep and walking-to-class time you've allowed yourself. Fret not loyal patrons of the life-giving coffee, caffiene nectar of gods, the working class, and seriously sleep-deprived student. There is hope for you yet.

Invest in a Chemex or French press

Let's be real- the allure of Keurigs is fun and convenient. Anyone can pick the flavor they want for a single beverage. The coffee isn't fresh, and they certainly aren't eco-friendly. Plus, they tend towards an often watered down flavor. Invest in a Chemex brewer (the glass test tube-looking thing) or a French Press (the steampunk gadget-looking one). These methods are wonderful ways of making sure the base of your coffee drink is a quality one. Extra points for the hipness.

If brewing in drip coffee maker, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or add in a few cloves atop the grounds for added flavor.

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
