10 Signs That Espresso That Your 'Love' For Coffee Is Probably More Of An 'Addiction'

In This Article:

Coffee is a college student's best friend. Yes, I placed coffee above dogs.

Drinking a cup of coffee every morning, whether that means brewing it at home or stopping by Dunkin' on the way to work, has become a part of my morning routine. I feel odd not drinking coffee because it's so normal for me.

I love the taste of coffee. It's fun going to different coffee shops and trying their specialty drinks. I'm lucky that I haven't experienced the addictive side of coffee. If you're feeling sick because of coffee, I would suggest you lay off of it a little. This article is just poking fun at fellow coffee lovers.

Here are some signs that you might love coffee too much...and that's okay.

1. The baristas recognize you.

This happened to me last semester. The baristas knew I wanted an iced mocha and remembered my name. I loved that, but I was a little embarrassed that I showed up so often (love ya, Saxbys).

2. When you find out you're getting coffee, it makes your day.

Giphy

My boyfriend sometimes takes me out to get coffee, and I get so excited. I don't know how to explain it, except that it's kind of sad. He says it's cute, but I don't know.

3. You have so many bags of coffee beans.

Giphy

Bonus points if a lot of them are from local coffee shops and you just haven't gotten around to trying them yet (I'm guilty).

4. You have tons of creamers in the fridge.

Giphy

I used to only drink coffee black, but once I discovered how GOOD creamers taste...I just couldn't go back.

5. You have way too many mugs.

Do it for Instagram, right?

6. You deny that you spend too much money on coffee, but you know it's true.

Giphy

I spend a lot of my money on coffee, and it really hurts to admit that.

7. You tell yourself that you'll spend less money on coffee next paycheck.

Giphy

Your brain immediately forgets it.

8. Everything you do involves coffee.

Giphy

If we're hanging out, I might want to go to a coffee shop. If I have a class in 30 minutes, you bet I'm getting coffee first. If I finally have a day off, I'm still getting coffee. Yeah, I drink it in almost every situation.

9. You don't really feel normal until you've had it.

Giphy

"Don't talk to me before I've had my coffee" is a real thing, and I'm not joking. Don't test me.

10. You totally could stop drinking it, but just choose not to.

Giphy

Sorry I literally only drink coffee and water. I know it's weird and it's a problem, but at least I know when to stop...right? (Yes, I do know when to stop...after 2 cups a day for me. It's just so hard to resist!)

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
