"I like my coffee like I like my men: tall, dark, and rich."

We just finished the first round of tests here at TCU, and needless to say, I'm still exhausted. In one day alone, my roommates and I had a total of five tests. Thinking about it makes my brain hurt.

However, coffee exists.

Isn't that enough to make your heart pitter patter (and hopefully not from caffeine-induced cardiac arrest)?

I gave up coffee for Lent last year, and only by the grace of God did I survive. I am feeling a bit sentimental today, so lets celebrate the top things about our favorite thing: coffee.

1. There is a Starbucks on every corner. With almost 13,000 stores in America alone, you're never left without.
2. It's one of the best parts of traveling.
3. It goes well with all different types of food. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, fourth meal, snacks--it's good with every meal.
4. It makes you wake up, or at least make you want to get out of bed.
   
   
5. It's perfect for all seasons. Whether you switch to hot coffee in the winter or not, there is no wrong time to drink coffee.
6. It's encouraged (and often provided) in the workplace. I'm not sure we'd survive at my internship without a nice pot of coffee in trendy mugs.
7. Even if it's bad coffee, it's still coffee.
8. It goes perfectly with that new book you've been dying to open.
9. You can microwave it. Double your productivity and your coffee intake with one machine.
10. The smell. I need a coffee-scented candle. Or perfume.
11. Black coffee has almost 0 calories. Drink up.
12. Rainy days and coffee. Enough said.
13. Many different foods come in a coffee flavor. So you can have coffee without actually having coffee.
14. Cute mugs and cups. When fall or winter cups come out at Starbs, it's like a national holiday, but at our house, we've got cabinets upon cabinets of themed mugs for a cheaper alternative.

    
    

    Someone want to buy this for me?

15. It's a great way to tell someone's personality. I'm a black coffee kind of girl, but apparently, I give off a "pumpkin spice latte" look to some.
16. Coffee art.
17. Some restaurants do all-you-can-drink coffee. Dangerous, deadly, and delicious.
18. Artsy Instagram posts of coffee art.
19. Who needs sleep when you've got coffee? Okay, I do, but whether I sleep or not, it's the perfect pick-me-up.
20. People all over the world drink coffee.
21. Starbucks makes "puppichinos."

I apologize for any cravings this post has caused.
