11  Signs You Are Living The Matcha Life
Food-hacks

To some, matcha green tea is comparable to only one thing: heaven.

It is stone-ground Japanese green tea rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and more healthful goodness. I became obsessed a little over a year ago, and have since converted one friend to the dark side—the dark green side, to be exact. I typically describe it as “taking a sip of the earth,” which probably sounds disgusting and not at all enticing, but I swear, the earthy flavor is rejuvenating and delicious!

You know you are a true matcha lover if you show these 11 signs:

1. A day without matcha is like a day without joy

Or more accurately....

2. And it is the best part of your day

(Okay, maybe not the best part, but you look forward to your matcha time—probably more than you should.)

3. Your dream is to try every flavor

People say dream big, so don't settle for sticking to just plain matcha (though it is scrumptious in its simplest form), expand your horizons and try peach, cinnamon, maple, chocolate...the list goes on! Vanilla and mint are my personal favorites. (Try David's Tea!)

4. You consider making a matcha latte an art form

Yes, mixing up the matcha and milk to form the perfect frothy cup of green happiness does make you feel like a proud artist finishing a masterpiece.

5. It is your go-to order at coffee shops (and everyone knows it)

Just look at that, it's divine!

6. You have a surplus of matcha powder in your kitchen

You have enough to last ten years, yet you continue to stock up on more and more. Can you really have too much matcha?

7. You add it to as many things as possible.

Matcha is not just to be had in mugs. You can mix it into smoothies, chia seed pudding, muffins, etc.

8. You attempt to get everyone you know to try it.

9. You bring matcha packets everywhere so you can add some to your water bottle on the fly.

It has been said that preparation is the key to success, so by being prepared for a matcha-craving, you are setting yourself up to be one successful human being. Congrats!

10. You own a matcha whisk or mixer.

And it may or may not be just be one of your most prized possessions.

11. Matcha puns would work as the perfect pick-up lines for you.

No need to be fancy, throw in "matcha" in place of "match" and any matcha lover will be swooning.

Now go and enjoy something matcha-licious!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
