For some, a morning cup of coffee is not a simple cliché, but a necessity for survival. If you're like me, you can't imagine staying away through a morning class (or evening class, or afternoon walk across the sidewalk) without your daily fix. If someone took away your coffee, you'd probably turn into a character from The Walking Dead. But take heart, dear coffee-addicts! You are not alone. The Great Lorelai Gilmore is here to test your true commitment to caffeine. Here are ten signs you love coffee just as much as she does.

1. You can't even make it to the coffee shop without a little bit (or a lot) of caffeine.

2. Your first thought after a yawn isn't something normal like "I'm tired" or "I should have slept more," it's "I must need more coffee."

3. You need it to help cure your bad moods.

4. You need it to supply that extra dose of crazy to your good moods.

5. Let's be honest, you need it all the time.

6. You see coffee, you drink coffee. Even if it tastes like oil leaking out of your car.

7. Your friends are terrified to think about what sort of useless monster you'd become if you didn't have coffee.

8. You will take it however you can get it... even if it makes you look like you're doing hard drugs.

9. You wouldn't consider starting any day without it...

10. And on the days you think you literally need it to survive, your coffee always gets you through.

"Where you lead, I will follow..." As long as there's coffee.
