Why I Love Spending Time At Coffee Shops
Alexandra Martin

Honestly, there is nothing better than spending time at a coffee shop. Some might disagree with me here, but let me share my side of the story.

I have always been a huge fan of having coffee. The challenging courses in college made it pretty hard to stay away from. So of course, I found myself at a coffee shop as much as possible.

Whenever I step into one, I always feel calm. I know that the people there are either trying to meet up for a conversation, studying, or relaxing. This instantly helps me to relax because I can feel the positivity in the air.

If you're a big fan of coffee, obviously this is the kind of environment that is right for you. However, if you aren't a fan of coffee, then this can still be a place you would enjoy. All coffee shops that I have been to end up having lots of snack options and different kinds of teas.

As I said earlier, this is a place that a lot of people go to have conversations. I always love bringing my grandma to different coffee shops because they are all so unique. There might be a little bit of background noise, but its never too much.

As I was writing this article, I am currently sitting in a coffee shop. I have a cup of iced coffee with my laptop and a book beside me. However, there are so many more things that everyone can do at coffee shops.

Coffee shops are places that are known to inspire. Whenever I need an article idea, I always find myself driving to a coffee shop. Sometimes I think I drink too much coffee, but there is never too much!

My professor freshman year of college actually asked us to describe where we imagine a writer to be located. Of course, the answer is everywhere because we can all be writers deep down. However, I can't help but think of a writer in a coffee shop with a cup of coffee typing away.

I love spending time at coffee shops because this is where I know I won't be judged. I know that it's normal for people to come here to do homework and normal for people to have conversations. I also love how welcoming all the baristas are wherever I go. They don't get the credit they deserve.

Coffee shops are a safe place for people to go whenever they need to get away. I find myself doing my best thinking here and no, it isn't always about school. It's a great place to sit back and people watch. You'll find that people are actually kind and sometimes even pay for other people's coffee.

Grab a friend and go to a local coffee shop. Try one of their goodies if you aren't a fan of coffee or tea. Be adventurous because at the end of the day you won't regret it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
