PSL Girls Step Aside, I'll Keep Sipping On My Iced Coffee Even When It's 30 Degrees Outside

Iced coffee has become a meme at this point. Tired? Iced coffee (obviously). Happy? Iced coffee. Socializing? Iced coffee. Sad? Iced coffee. The answer is always iced coffee.

That's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea. I don't know what I'd do without iced coffee. I sound really basic right now, but I don't even care.

Even as it gets colder outside, I still find myself wanting iced coffee. Aside from hot tea every once in a while, and I do love my London Fog drinks, I'm an iced coffee kind of girl.

What makes iced coffee so special, anyway? It's coffee, watered down at best. I have no idea what makes it so good. Maybe it's that it literally jolts you awake since it's so cold. Warm drinks make me sleepy. I have no idea why it's so hard for me, but I need to make the switch to hot coffee because it's SO EXPENSIVE to drink iced coffee for some reason.

I understand that iced coffee isn't just coffee over ice, or at least it's not supposed to be. However, at some coffee shops, that's exactly how they make it. For some reason, the ice I have at home melts too quickly and my coffee tastes awful. I can't master the homemade iced coffee, even though I want to.

If it's 30 degrees outside, you'll see me drinking iced coffee. I know it's weird. I know it makes no sense. Now that I've made the switch, I can't go back.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
