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.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
