What It's Really Like Being A Non-Coffee Drinker

Coffee is not my go-to solution for mornings or any time.

"Let's meet at Starbucks!" Is the common phrase spoken whenever meeting with classmates or friends. It seems to always end up being at Starbucks or some similar coffee shop within campus's reach that everyone thinks is a great idea to meet up at.

Luckily they have much more than just coffee, but it's a little awkward when everyone has a powerful cup of caffeine and you're just low key stirring your herbal tea and have your own cake pop (yes, adults can enjoy cake pops with no shame.)

It's also that one time you thought that it was a great idea to try slamming coffee down before your final the night and morning of, only to find out you're about to lose your cool. No one wants to be missing finals, so you suffer through the pain and hope for the best. Hopefully for next time, you'll skip the coffee and rethink a better habit.

The people who swear they can NOT survive without coffee because it's their golden serum are always surprised when you explain that you don't drink coffee in the morning or really, ever. It's like still believing that you can function just fine without coffee, but no matter if you have caffeine or not, you'll will never function 100%. Late night studying and other activities take up most of your precious beauty sleep anyways so just adding coffee into the mix won't fit.

As for when the group brings some Dunkin', it's totally cool to bring big 'ol boxes of joe for everyone. But you can't help but just kind of skip the offer and head straight to the donuts and other snacks provided. Sprinkles, curlers? Heck yes. Dunkin' Donuts has donuts in the name, so who just needs the coffee?!

There's totally no shame if you enjoy your coffee, but for us non-coffee drinkers, we'll have something else to motivate us and find our ways to pull all-nighters.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
