9 Things That Only Iced Coffee Addicts Will Understand

Something about hot coffee just doesn't do it for me.

Iced coffee is a way of life. That's just a fact - you either get it or you don't.

1. Hot coffee is not an option

Whether it's 100 degrees outside or 20, iced coffee is the only option. Something about the taste of hot coffee just doesn't do it for me. I need my ice and my straw or it's not happening.

2. You will do anything to get your daily fix

Since there are hardly any decent at home coffee machines that make a good cup of iced coffee, Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts are your best friends. The $4 a day for your favorite drink is so worth it, no matter how much money is in your bank account.

3. If it's not made just right, you're not drinking it

If I am taking the time and money to go to Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts, I want my coffee made right. If it is not made the exact way that I like it, I probably won't drink it, or I'll ask them to fix it. I don't want it too dark or light, too sweet or not sweet enough. It's hard to explain, and maybe I'm crazy. But it's always a lottery every time I get my coffee. It's hard for it to be made exactly the same every time.

4. You don't care if stopping for coffee makes you late

There are so many times when I stop for coffee and know that I'm going to be late for school or work. But I won't be awake for it without my iced coffee anyway, so I think it's a pretty valid excuse. At least I'll show up late and caffeinated!

5. You find yourself drinking more iced coffee than water

I'm thirsty, where's the nearest Dunkin'? Who needs water when you can have the best beverage of all time, that also wakes you up? This is definitely NOT healthy, but it's an addiction, okay?

6. Everyone knows your iced coffee order

When the barista sees you walk in, they know exactly how to make your iced coffee. You're basically there every day, so it's not a shock that they know your order. Even those close to you know how you like it, since it's all you ever drink.

7. You cannot function properly without it

You're at coffee shops every morning because you simply just need that cup of iced coffee to get your day going. It gives you the perfect caffeine boost while giving you the motivation to get out of bed and enjoy it.

8. You don't care how expensive it is

Depending on how you take your iced coffee, it can end up costing you nearly $4 a day. But you don't care because iced coffee is a necessity. To me, enjoying a great cup of iced coffee every day is worth the cost. I don't care if it's my last $4. I'm getting iced coffee.

9. People judge you for how often you stop for iced coffee

Maybe most normal people will settle for hot coffee from their coffee maker to start their day. But not you! You NEED to hit a coffee shop to have your iced coffee made perfectly for you. You've tried to make an enjoyable cup of iced coffee at home, but it's just not the same. Stop judging me.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
