Coffee is the key to surviving most days.

Ten Things Every Coffee Lover Knows

Caffeine easily makes up more than half of what I consume on a daily basis, and I am not alone in that trend. There is just something about that first wave of energy that warms my soul. In a fast paced society, we function at a high pace with very low amounts of sleep. Especially for college students that struggle to balance work, classes, and managing to keep up with important relationships, coffee will inevitably become a huge part of the diet of college students. But if you aren't there yet, here are just a few things long term coffee drinkers want you to know.

1. There is a major difference in Starbucks' specialty drinks and real coffee.

Do not be mistaken, there are days where a peppermint white mocha needs to be in my hand at all times. Unfortunately, most specialty drinks contain more sugar than caffeine and can lead to a serious sugar crash. If you want the real stuff, try just black coffee. It works wonders.

2. People will think they know your limits, but they severely underestimate your caffeine tolerance.

How could someone else possibly know what you can handle when you yourself have no idea when too much is too much?

3. When you find that perfect new blend and your whole world is changed.

You know from the first sip that this is going to be your new addiction. Every one should just accept that you're going to be raving about it for the next six months.

4.Even professional coffee drinkers sometimes surpass what we can handle.

Some days there is just no chance of winning. Too little coffee and you can't function, too much and you end up anxious and confused. It is a worlds best game where either way you're dying.

5. There should always be coffee in the coffee pot.

I'm not going to explicitly say that I need fresh coffee in the mornings, but it is definitely a bonus in my books. Even more important, if you drink the last of the pot, make more! Don't be that guy that the office hates because you don't have any common courtesy.

6. Need a date idea?

Coffee is a fail proof date idea. It allows enough time for conversation to get to know someone and break that barrier, but doesn't leave too much time for you to run out of conversation topics. Plus, everyone puts on their best face with caffeine behind them.

7. You can always find love at a coffee shop.

Baristas are smoother than they get credit for. Each day provides a whole new opportunity to make love happen, if not for themselves, so the public. (Have you seen all the coffee prom-posals?) It is a new trend that must continue.

8. Coffee and cars are never a good mix.

Seasoned coffee drinkers are all too familiar with this struggle. Is that cup of coffee worth the risk of spilling it all over your car? The answer is always yes.

9. We all have the same reaction when someone doesn't like coffee.

How are you even a functional member of society? Do you live like a zombie? Do you love yourself?

10. In the end we all share a bond.

While not everyone can share the love of coffee, at least we can all agree it is one of the cornerstones of our society, and likely will continue to be a huge part of our daily lives. Don't be afraid to branch out and explore new roasts, new brands, and especially shop local!

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
