Whether you like it black, covered in whipped cream, or with 12 packets of Splenda (my personal favorite), we can all agree that coffee is pretty darn great. It picks you up when midterms got you down, makes for the perfect first date, and can create the much-needed illusion that you are a sophisticated grown-up adult person. But we must remember that coffee (well, caffeine) is a drug. A delicious drug, but a drug nonetheless. So drink responsibly, latte lovers.
Can't recognize if you're a coffee-holic? See if any of these sound like you.
1. Until you get your daily cup (or three) you are practically a zombie.
Your friends know by now not to talk to you before your first cup of the day. You are grouchy, grumpy, and probably still dreaming a little from the night before. This delirious state can only be rectified by heavenly healing powers of caffeine! Some say too much coffee is bad for you. But I can't hear them over the sound of the intense ringing in my ears. I FEEL SO ALIVE!
2. You have your signature order memorized.
You roll your eyes at the newbie ahead of you in line who takes 20 minutes to decide on a flavor of frappucino. You know your fave orders front and back, no question about it. Years have prepared you for this moment. The words rush out of your mouth like smooth velvet, no stutter or second guessing. You'll have a half-caf double shot almond milk hazelnut macchiato, please. And make it to-go.
2. You study exclusively at cafes or coffee shops.
"What is a library?"
4. You talk a mile a minute.
You speak so fast it's like a magical caffeinated language that only fellow bean-heads can comprehend. Who cares if no one can understand you! Feel the coffee rushing through your veins and live life like the bold, fast-talkin' gal (or guy) you are.
5. Your addiction has taken a toll on your bank account.
You constantly find yourself saying things like, "I know I'm broke but if I don't get this nonfat vanilla latte right this second I am literally going to die." Who needs money for food or rent? You have your espresso priorities straight, and that's all that matters.
6. You can get seriously judge-y about your beans.
You can tell the difference between Dunkin' Donuts and Intelligentsia. You know your Mocha Java from your Indonesian roast and you're not afraid to let everyone know it. You are a serious coffee connoisseur and wear it like a badge of honor (rightfully so).7. Your mug collection is dank.
Every shape, color, and texture. You name it, you can drink out of it. Mugs are coffee delivery systems, so they are no joke. You gotta have options, right ladies?
8. Everyone knows what you want for your birthday.
Peets, Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Philz, it makes no difference. Friends and family both know this is the only true way to your heart.
