An Open Letter to Coffee
Shuttershock

Dear Coffee,

I know it is a little odd to be writing a letter to a beverage, but hear me out...you are an extremely important part of my life. Why? Because you save my ass on the daily. Without you, I definitely would not make my 9am class, and possibly would not even make my 11am. Without you, I would be late for work on the weekends and would show up looking a mess. Without you, I would not have somewhere to go and sit on my computer for a few hours in between classes. Honestly, without you, I would be lost. Your caffeine boost not only kick starts my day, but also provides me with a true sense of relief.

Coffee, you are truly the greatest drink ever invented. You come in so many different flavors and styles. You have cute little shops dedicated solely to you. You have an entire empire built around your production. And, my personal favorite, you're always there when I need you. The smell that fills my apartment while you're brewing is such a comfort and a blessing. Also, thanks for being my fuel and best friend. You have no time limit. You have no better plans. You never leave me. I truly appreciate it.

You also never get boring. There is always a new flavor of coffee drink for me to try, and it keeps me on my toes. I love the pumpkin spice lattes that come with the fall. I love the peppermint mochas that appear in the winter. I love the ability to get you on ice with a shot of vanilla in the summer. There truly is no end to what you can do, Coffee. And there are a million cute mugs that accompany you!!!!

Basically, I'm trying to say I love you, but you already knew that. So instead, I'll end this letter with one last thank you. Forever in your debt, Your Biggest Fan.

PS: Did you know that when colonists came to America, they started drinking you in rebellion to the tea tax? Drinking coffee was a sign of freedom. God bless, Coffee.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
