I Tried My First Cappuccino

These are my thoughts.

I Tried My First Cappuccino
WikiHow

I love coffee and that amazing feeling of actually wanting to get out and do work when it starts to kick in. I had no idea what a Cappuccino was and I am not one to try new things. But while I was picking up my brother's new car there wasn't anything I wanted besides something that said "French Vanilla Cappuccino." I asked my dad what it was and what it tastes like, but he didn't really go into detail.

When the coffee started to brew I had no idea what was coming. I had seen a dozen of these "French Vanilla Cappuccino" K-Cups but they didn't interest me enough to try it. But it was cold out so I just wanted something warm. When it was done brewing I saw it was white instead of black which confused me since I was told it was like coffee. I put cream and sugar just as I regularly did in coffees and bam!

After my first sip, I remembered brewing this at home thinking it was hot chocolate which makes sense because I thought it was the worst hot chocolate. It was sweet and creamy and something I ended up drinking till it was empty. I do believe I drank it once not knowing it was coffee instead of hot chocolate. The first time I drank it, it gave me a headache which is probably why I never touched it again.

Today, I decided to brew it again (because there wasn't coffee in the house) since it's about 2 degrees outside. I started to feel a headache coming back, which I feel might have something to do with the amount of scent and flavoring. I don't do very well with drinks that are highly scented or flavored. If you're thinking "Well you picked up a drink that said French Vanilla on it" yes you're right but I didn't know I had already tried it and it had given me that feeling before.

So to ask myself, would I drink it again? Only if I had to. I strongly prefer my Starbucks Blonde or Dunkin Donuts Original Blend coffee. Plus drinking a Cappuccino doesn't make me feel like there's any caffeine like there is in coffee. Which in that case makes me feel like it's more of a hot chocolate than a coffee beverage. I really do not like flavored drinks like Cappuccinos or the popular Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I enjoy having a regular coffee and being able to put coffee syrups in them to make them just sweet without the crazy flavoring in coffees. Maybe I will try a sip of this Pumpkin spice Latte to see why it's so popular. I don't like spices so I highly doubt I will drink it all.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
