Coffee, one of life’s seemingly simple pleasures, means the world to coffee addicts like myself. The allure of a freshly brewed cup of coffee never fails to satisfy me and empty my wallet. Here are 25 coffee-consumed thoughts that run through my mind each week.

1. I’ll be really good and only buy two cups of coffee this week. Gotta save up!
2. Okay, it’s Monday. Monday’s are by far the worst, so coffee is practically a necessity. Starbucks, here I come!
3. Shout-out to fall for bringing back salted caramel mochas and pumpkin spice lattes.
4. How can I possibly choose just one drink?
5. Let's see, I think a salted caramel mocha will feed the addiction quite nicely.
6. I might actually be drinking heaven in a cup. I’m very proud of this decision.
7. It’s Tuesday. I believe in myself. I can make it through the day without giving in.
8. Wait no, why do I study in between my classes at The Purple Onion Café? This is going to be torture!
9. Well, there’s a sign over there that says paying customers get priority seating. That means I have to buy something, right?
10. Better play it safe. I’ll just get the cheapest drink.
11. I could really go for a vanilla latte. Yeah, that sounds good. I’ll get a small one.
12. What?! Flavor shots are an extra 50 cents? This is outrageous, why can’t coffee be free for all college students?
13. What’s a latte without added flavor? Might as well go for it. I’m not getting any younger.
14. Aww, there’s such a pretty design in the foam. This is so Instagram-worthy. How do they do it? You go, coffee baristas.
15. Today’s the day. I’ve already bought two drinks this week, so I am officially cutting myself off.
16. Although, I do have time between my classes to grab a quick cup…
17. No! Stay focused and walk to class. I’ve never been more appreciative of this long walk to West Bank.
18. Woah, it smells amazing in here. Wait, that guy in front of me has coffee. Smells like…hazelnut?
19. I can see the steam coming from his thermos. It’s drifting towards me. It wants me.
20. Why am I sitting in this torture chamber? That’s it. I’m getting coffee as soon as this class ends.
21. Well, I slipped up yesterday. But I mean, I’m only human! I blame the guy who flaunted his coffee in front of me. So, here’s to a new day.
22. Wait, it’s Thursday. That means I’ll be going to The Purple Onion Café again. I need a game plan here.
23. Okay, yes, this is genius. I’ll sit in the way back of the café so I won’t be tempted by the smell. I think I’m safe for today, go me!
24. Woo! Fridays are the best days of the week. This calls for a celebration, and how can you have a celebration without coffee?
25. I’ll definitely start limiting myself to two cups per week next week, for sure.
