You can learn a lot about someone over a cup of coffee, but have you ever thought about what the coffee drink says about the drinker? Being a barista and a college student, my days are constantly filled with caffeine or serving caffeine.

Now I'm not a psychologist, and I don't go around profiling people on everything they drink (that would be crazy!), but after awhile, you come to some fast conclusions about people based on their order.

Studies have been done on this hypothesis with intriguing results, but I'm not here to bore you or myself with the experiments and statistics (I'm a writer, not a scientist). Without further ado, here's what your coffee drink says about you, from a barista herself.

1. BLACK COFFEE DRINKER

You're a simple person; a minimalist! You're quiet, yet straightforward with what you want. You need no other suggestions, as even bringing up the word latte or cappuccino makes you weary. Cream? No thank you! Cream is for the weak, and those who take their coffee with it are the first one's out in the inescapable zombie apocalypse.

2. Espresso

You're confident and headstrong! You know what you want and how to get it! You're also always on the go, no time for a whole cup of coffee, you just need a quick caffeine fix! A workaholic perhaps? You're phone is glued to your hand where you answer quick emails, and maybe take some phone calls. You may be the only ones who can overthrow black coffee drinkers in brutal strength.

3. Latte

You're indecisive with all the espresso options, so you like to remain safe with a simple latte. You're either a people person who doesn't mind small talk, and in fact can be chatty (not necessarily a bad thing), or like your black coffee counterparts, you're straightforward and simple. An extra shot or a flavor is as crazy as you get, and you're just fine with that!

4. Frappuccino/Frappe

Are you a basic white girl? JUST KIDDING! Putting that stereotype aside, you are a little bit reckless. Now not the reckless as in you have no direction in your life and you're just gonna take it out on frappuccinos and alcohol, but maybe you don't make the best healthy choices for yourself...which let's be honest is completely relatable. You're a fun loving, free spirit who likes things super sweet! Or maybe...you're a kid who is barely just getting into the caffeinated side of the world. Take it easy, kid!

5. Decaf

I mean, I think the picture is pretty self-explanatory of my opinion on decaf. You might as well be drinking AIR! You're a homebody and don't get out a lot, do you? You double, sometimes triple check that your coffee is decaf. A little paranoid maybe? You have a set bedtime every night that is KEY and cannot risk messing it up. As someone who gets less than 6 hours of sleep a night, I applaud you, but live a little! Try 1/2 decaf next time! If it's for health reasons, however, stick to the air! It may not be my cup of tea, but its still coffee!


Well, there you have it: the five most common coffee drinks I can think of and what my opinion is on the people who order them! We could have gotten more in-depth with drinks, but that would be getting way too specific, and this article would be pages long! Where do you think you fall on the scale of caffeine?

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
