This time of day is my favorite because I get to enjoy the joy and magnificence of coffee. But as I drink my coffee, I also reflect on everything that has recently happened in my life, and I wonder random things as well. Even though I am always doing something else while I inhale this fantastic drink sent from heaven, coffee relaxes me and helps me think. So here's some random thoughts that I am going to have over a thirty minute period of drinking coffee. This will be interesting, I hope.

What is it about coffee shops that makes them better than just drinking coffee in your normal environment? For one, nobody can judge you for hanging out alone. Oh and people see your laptop open and automatically assume you are working hard. I could literally be sitting in this coffee shop playing Sims on my computer, but everybody would assume that I am studying incredibly hard. All it takes is headphones in the ears and a drink by my side. There's also a lot of people-watching which can be fun. I once watched these friends laugh for twenty minutes at a joke one of them said. I'm not kidding when I say that they were literally on the floor in tears. You look around and see someone interviewing for a job, a couple on a date, or a group of friends doing homework. Ultimately, coffee shops are just the cutest, most friendly of environments.

You know what else is fantastic? Oversized sweaters. When the weather gets cold, it is socially acceptable to drown in huge clothes. You don't want to make an attempt to pick an outfit in the morning? It's fine. Just have 5 go-to sweaters and you'll be good to go. I love the feeling of being comfy and that's probably why I am really into cold weather. I don't actually like wind or cold air much, but I am going to full-heartedly enjoy my comfy slipper boots, leggings, and men's size flannel. Can't stop me now.

Are boy bands still cool? I feel like there hasn't been a new boy band in forever that has been as successful as One Direction. Crap, now I'm thinking about how obsessed my 15 year old self was with those five hipsters.

Is being hipster still hipster? Like is that still a term? Cause if you think about, hipsters were formed to be different. But then everyone tried to be like them. So therefore, they aren't hipster anymore. Anyway, Tori Kelly said it best. "I'm cool with being different while you hipsters fit in." (From one of her songs. She's amazing, look her up). Who am I kidding? I am often told I dress like and act like a hipster. Oops, sorry.

I really enjoy small towns. Everybody is so relaxed and friendly. Being from a city, I find it much more fun to be around people who actually care for one another. I love cities as well, but small towns have stolen my heart without me even realizing it.

I also really love Nebraska, despite how much I make fun of it. Never have I ever seen such beautiful sunsets that cover the ENTIRE sky. Also why are there so many squirrels?! I don't know, but I like it for some reason. Also, calling dinner "supper" is literally the cutest thing. The wind though, yeah that can calm down a little bit.

Why do I enjoy sad music even when I am in a happy mood? I am literally sitting here with a smile on my face as I listen to an independent artist put his entire heart into some emotional song that Spotify threw into my Discover Weekly playlist. Spotify, do you want me to be sad or do you just understand that I enjoy feeling many emotions at once? I am thankful for Spotify either way.

Looking at plants makes me happy. So do dad jokes.

I am not sure what I fear more; going the wrong way on a one-way street or getting attacked by a swarm of bees. But let me tell you, there's a lot of one ways in this small town. I am thankful that coffee helps me stay awake enough to figure out if I am on the right street or not. See how much this addiction helps me in day-to-day life?

I wish I was at a beach.

I really miss my dog. Good thing I saved over ten videos of her playing with her toys. She is just too cute.

How do I prove to the older generation that I am not an edgy millennial who only cares about my phone? I swear I am not in charge of ruining the world. And honestly, I haven't had Candy Crush downloaded on my phone for years. Beat that, Betsy.

Okay, this was definitely a half hour full of random thoughts. But it goes to show you just how scatter-brained I am! Join me next time as I once again fill my body with a substance that has turned me into a caffeine-driven monster. Thanks for your time. Goodbye. Go drink some 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.

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!
