It's Time to Settle the Coffee Debate

It's no question how much I, along with almost every other American, appreciate coffee. But caffeine is no longer just coffee with the choice of adding milk and sugar, as we now have pumpkin spice lattes and caramel macchiatos. Ordering a drink at Starbucks can get very stressful with all these options of flavored syrups, kinds of milk, and cup sizes. But the REAL crucial decision that can change your entire caffeine indulging experience is how you want your drink: hot or cold? While, of course, a select few beverages like a cappuccino should always be served hot, here are a few reasons why cold is almost always the move.


You Won't Burn Your Tongue

There's NOTHING worse than starting your day with a sip of hot coffee, only to have it burn your tongue and be forced to spend the rest of the day with an injured tongue and the inability to enjoy the rest of your coffee.

You Won't Burn Any Other Part of Your Body Either!!

No need to grab that cardboard cup sleeves so you don't scorch your hands, there is literally no way for any part of your body to suffer any burns from your drink! And for the clumsy people, if you spill it on yourself, no burns either!

You Can Drink it With a REUSABLE Straw!

It is pretty undeniable that drinking a beverage with a straw (metal not plastic, save the Earth!) makes the experience far more superior and efficient!

It's Cool and Refreshing

Especially in the summer, there's nothing more refreshing and enjoyable then a cold drink to cool you down

It's HEALTHIER than Hot Coffee

Unless you're pouring in packets of sugar and syrup, iced coffee is actually healthier than hot coffee because it is less acidic which is better for the digestive system!

Speaking of Less Acidic…

Less acidic also means less bitter, so you don't need to pour in packets of sugar to enjoy your caffeine!

It's So Easy to Make

You Don't Have to Worry About It Getting Cold

Sometimes you want to take your time and enjoy your coffee throughout your day or a long lecture, but after about a few minutes hot coffee reaches that lukewarm state where you realize you should have just gotten it cold in the first place

You Can Make It Fun!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
