5 Reasons Why Coffee is Amazing

In This Article:

It is the moment you all have been waiting for, we get to talk about the benefits and amazing things about one of the best beverages in this universe. I don't even know why this has taken me forever to write about because this liquid has been pumping through my veins almost every day since I was 12. Before I start this list please know I do drink tea from time to time (aka when I'm sick so basically never) so this list is in no way shaming any of you tea drinkers out there. Just hoping to subtly convert you over into drinking this awesome liquid gold they call coffee!

1. ENDLESS OPTIONS!

You got espresso, lattes, cafe con leche, macchiatos, frappuchinos, hot drinks iced drinks AND the list goes on and on. Not to mention how many bean varieties there are?! Need I say more? You get the point.

2. It's here for you when no one else is

Need something to hug? Snuggle up in a blanket and hug that nice cup o' joe. You know you want to

3. It lowers risk for diseases

Yes, you heard it here: black coffee can actually lower the risk for colorectal cancer, multiple sclerosis, and even Alzheimer's disease. Coffee also possesses antioxidants that can dampen inflammation of several organs. Remember though, too much of a good thing can also be harmful so abide by the daily recommended caffeine intake!

4. It smells like actual heaven

You will NEVER hear anybody say: 'wow the smell of that coffee is DISGUSTING' only happy thoughts come from the amazing aroma.

5. Coffee makes you happy

No, seriously. Caffeine from coffee can block adenosine (which is a hormone that makes you feel sleepy), allowing dopamine neurotransmitters to take control and flood your body with pure joy!

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
