Why I Need My Coffee In The Morning

Don't question it, just be thankful I had my dose of caffeine.

Why I Need My Coffee In The Morning

Everyone has a different routine in the morning. In order to wake up, some people listen to music, some people shower, some people even work out. Before all of that, for me at least, every morning, I NEED a cup of coffee. If I don't brew my own, I go on a coffee run. Starbucks, Dunkin, if I'm that desperate, I'll even go to Mcdonalds. That's how important it is to me. Coffee is coffee and it'll give me what I actually need, caffeine aka energy. It has become a daily necessity because quite honestly, I'm worthless without my daily dose. I'm a complete zombie. So, coffee isn't an option, essentially it is a MUST.

Question: Do you ever just wake up and hate your life? Because that's the story of mine. I'm just so tired and exhausted all the time. I'm under an immense amount of stress and when I wake up in the morning, I realize I have to relive it all over again. That's why I turn to coffee. Coffee gives me a rush. It gives me a sense of motivation. When I drink my coffee, in a few minutes I can already feel the effects. The little jitter I get makes me feel the pitter patter my heart makes. It's like I almost feel it running through my veins. I drink enough to where I can feel reborn again because too much coffee can kind of be a bad thing. Seriously, like alcohol, know your limits and don't go there. I've been there quite too many times. If you're like me, it makes you all hypersensitive. However, I'm such an addict that I know the amount that is just right to feel good. The effects of coffee don't last that long, but hey, it's something and that little something makes a big difference in my day.

For example, have you ever seen the Folger's commercial? If you haven't, their end tune is "the best part about waking up, is Folger's in your cup." I couldn't agree more. I believe coffee is the nectar from the gods. It gives me the strength I never knew I had and gets me through the day. Without it, I feel like a dirty grime ball crossed with a little grumpy monster. I just drag with this negative, lifeless soul. Who would want to be around someone like that? Not me. So, coffee is my best friend. It is my savior. For that, I am thankful.

Coffee genuinely picks me up when I'm feeling down. I just become a whole new person when I even take that first sip. Coffee may seem harmless, but the caffeine that's in it is actually a drug. Oh well, you'll never see me pass up a cup. You don't even have to ask me twice because I'm HOOKED. I love the high that it gives me. Ha, at least it's not illegal. It has become a part of my life and I really see no near end to this addiction. I don't think you'd really want to see the end of it either because again, me without coffee? NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
