10 Thoughts That Sum Up My Coffee Obsession

The word 'addiction' is a little strong to describe my relationship with coffee. I prefer 'obsession' because I could give up coffee any time if I really wanted to. However, I’m not a quitter, so that will never happen. Who would want to stop drinking this magical beverage that can give you the kick you need to get through the rest of the day?

1. But first, coffee.

The first thing that pops into my mind when I wake up in the morning (other than why is my alarm going off so early?) is, coffee. Some people think of the phrase "rise and grind" when waking up and seizing the day. I prefer to think of waking up and grinding coffee beans before doing anything else.

2. Behind every successful person is a substantial amount of coffee.

I owe 90% of my success to the cups of coffee that have kept me running when sleep wasn’t an option. I know sleep is very important, but sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in a day, so this one's for you, coffee.

3. Everything gets better with coffee.

I am a firm believer that there is no situation that a cup of coffee can’t improve. People go on dates at coffee shops, and people also get dumped at coffee shops. It may not be a problem solver, but it can make any situation a little better.

4. Coffee completes me.

Coffee doesn’t fight with me or yell at me to get started on whatever project I’m procrastinating. Coffee is my better half. If coffee were a person, I would probably marry it.

5. I don’t have a problem with caffeine; I have a problem without it.

If you’ve ever tried to talk to a coffee addict on a day that they didn’t have coffee, you may have seen a side of them you never knew existed. Could you imagine a world without coffee? Terrifying.

6. More coffee, less talkie.

Chances are I’m brewing a cup of coffee as you’re starting to talk to me, so just hold that thought a few more seconds.

7. Keep calm and drink coffee.

Try to keep calm and drink a few cups of coffee. If that doesn’t calm you down enough, freak out. And then drink more coffee.

9. Is decaf okay?

Is it okay if I pay with monopoly money?

10. A yawn is a silent scream for coffee.

If you ever see me nonstop yawning or looking like I’m about to fall asleep, feel free to bring me a cup of coffee. I’ll love you forever, or at least until I finish my cup.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Yes, it IS a sport. Yes, I fall all the time. No, I do not ride in jeans with a cowgirl hat on.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
