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.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
