A Love Letter To Cappuccinos

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains.

To my sweet delight,

Coffee has always pained me, and it was impossible for me to have a cup of coffee without having a stomachache for days after. Now that my health has improved, I have been properly introduced into your world.

I first got you on a rainy October day, and it was the start of something beautiful. Ever since then, I order you handcrafted from the Starbucks counter, and smile when I hear the barista call out your name, "Grande Cappuccino."

From the first sip to the last, you make me feel so warm and good.

I love your bitterness, it gives you character. I especially love how you keep me motivated during late nights in the library when all I want to do is fall into a deep slumber, but you drive my attention forward.

Not a lot of my friends like you; they would prefer a sweeter version of you with perhaps a flavored syrup and some sprinkles, but that's just not who you are. You are full-bodied in flavor, and you're for a stronger palate, which is just the way it should be. Those iced sweet coffee drinkers, they just don't get you.

You are independent, and you are important.

You inspire artists, doctors, lawyers around the world to look sophisticated and gain energy all through you.

Recently, you helped me get through my finals, and I am eternally grateful for your effect on my GPA. I couldn't have pulled through the endless study sessions if it weren't for you, and for that, I am extremely thankful. You motivated me to get up and face each day of work and studying without hesitation. All in all, you made this wonderful winter season even better, and I can't wait to get to know you even better next semester when I have my 8 AM Monday morning class.

Eternally yours,

A forever fan

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
