10 Times Coffee Saved My Life

Thank you for always being there to pick me up, literally.

10 Times Coffee Saved My Life
Pixels

We all have that one thing that keeps us going. For some, it might be coffee. For me, it's definitely coffee.

1. It got me out of bed when I needed it

Shout out to coffee for making me regret taking an 8 am every day a little bit less. The only thing that gets my up is the thought of a good cup of joe. I am not a morning person by any means so anything helps!


2. It kept me awake while I finished my project

College life means to things: getting up early and going to bed freakishly late, and that habit has carried over into the summer. Morning cups of coffee not only get me up but to stay up as well.


3. It's saved me after that nap

Have you noticed a common theme here? It's sleep. And this girl just read my mind. All of the late nights and early mornings of college life equal daily napping to catch up on sleep. A post nap coffee is key to not being a zombie for the rest of the day.


4. It kept me focused so I could study

Getting myself to sit down and do endless hours of homework can be a struggle. Sometimes treating myself with an iced coffee or a special drink is just what I need to get me going.


5. It makes me feel fancy on a bad day

When I go up and order a grande pumpkin spice latte with light ice, I feel really fancy and like what I know what I'm talking about.


6. It's expensive, but a Starbucks card helps fuel the addiction

However, feeling fancy can be expensive. When all my dining dollars go to feeding my addiction, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel. A Starbucks gift card! I mean coffee doesn't buy itself.


7. It's literally what makes my day

Fail a test? Treat yourself with a coffee. Nail a presentation? You deserve a coffee. Is it raining? Coffee for the win.


8. It's keeping me in touch with my Northern roots.

A telltale sign of a New Englander is drinking iced coffee year round. The Southerners may think it's weird but it's never too cold to walk to class without an iced coffee in hand.

9. It makes long road trips kinda bearable

It is a long 16 hour drive from Massachusetts to North Carolina. Only one thing gets me through, coffee. Multiple coffees, that is.

10. It saves all of you from me and my moods

Caffeine dependency is a real problem. Fair warning to anyone who sees me before my morning coffee.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
