Confessions Of A Coffee Addict

I don't need drugs, I need coffee.

Confessions Of A Coffee Addict
Starbucks Press Release

Being a coffee addict is no joke. No pain compares to the splitting headache you endure when you don’t get the daily dose of coffee you need. The irritability you feel is horrifying. Everything anyone says or does bothers you to no end. Something a quick fix of coffee can easily cure. When you’re a coffee addict you can’t imagine your life without it. Having your first cup of coffee is a slippery slope, once you have your first sip it's all downhill from there. It’s more than just a beverage you drink in the morning in order to start your day. It’s more along the lines of liquid courage, your lifeline, your sole purpose for living. You can’t function without it. The thought of hooking yourself up to a coffee IV drip has crossed your mind way more than it should’ve. It’s not uncommon. Coffee just does that. It creeps into your life and it latches on like a leech and never lets go. It takes over your life entirely.

In the morning without even thinking about it, I drag my zombie-like body out of bed and press that button on my Keurig for the biggest cup of coffee I can possibly brew. There is no such thing as too much coffee if you know what I mean. On my way to class, I stop at either Starbucks or Dunkin for my next large cup. It doesn’t really matter if it’s Starbucks or Dunkin because coffee is coffee no matter where it’s from (unless Starbucks has their winter flavors, then it's Starbucks hands down). I'm even guilty of requesting six additional espresso shots in my coffee (and the song "Shots" by LMFAO instantly plays in my head.) The barista looks at me like I’m crazy, but who cares!!! By noon I’ve already forgotten how many cups I’ve had that day. Nobody can bring a smile to my face or brighten my day the way coffee does. It’s God’s gift to Earth.

People tell me I need to give it up, that it’s an addiction. Those people are anti-coffee drinkers. They stick to herbal tea or no caffeine at all. I feel bad for them, to be honest with you. They just don’t understand the instant zest for life you can get when you drink coffee. It brings you to a place nothing ever has before. I don’t have a problem, I can stop drinking coffee whenever I want, but I choose not to!!! Why give up the one thing that makes me feel human? One sip of it and I’m an all around changed person, for the better!!

It is ok to be obsessed with coffee, don’t let people tell you otherwise!!! In any way, shape or form it still has the power to do the exact same thing. Channel your inner Lorelai Gilmore and drink as much coffee as your heart desires! Nothing will make you happier than coffee. It will never disappoint you. Even a bad cup of coffee is still good coffee. When you’re feeling down or burned out, coffee is the solace you turn to for comfort and relief. Coffee is the Fiji vacation you can’t afford to take.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
