5 Reasons To Love Coffee
Circle Tour Adventures

The beginning of this week brings us into the wake of International Coffee Day, which was last Thursday. While I'm not one to down talk a holiday for something so close to my heart, I also believe it should be noted that, in all honesty, every day should be "International Coffee Day". Where would we all be without that extra kick in the morning to get us out of bed? Or warm us up on a chilly fall morning?

1. It wakes you up.

One of the best reasons to love coffee is that it gets you out of bed, and that's not something your everyday brew of tea leaves can provide. There's nothing like that first sip of good, strong coffee. With good coffee, you can feel it working instantly. For my fellow students that also have a lot of early classes, I think we all owe it to coffee for not yet violating our attendance policies.

2. You can change the flavor according to the season.

Coffee shops are notorious for adding new seasonal flavors when certain times of the year come along, and like many other coffee connoisseurs, this is my favorite part to the coffee industry. Who doesn't love to have the first taste of pumpkin spice latte when the leaves start changing colors. Who doesn't want to enjoy a peppermint mocha while knocking out your Christmas shopping list?

3. Often times, the associates of coffee shops are genuinely nice.

I don't think I've ever been in a coffee shop before ten o' clock in the morning where the clerks weren't happy to serve me. I can't think of a reason why someone might embody the pep of a middle school cheerleader before seven in the morning, but somehow these people make that possible. Throughout my coffee consuming years, I don't think I've ever so much as gotten a hint of shade thrown at me for my coffee order, and that's something that makes the coffee experience that much more enjoyable. Did you really expect me to enjoy my beverage if you'd handed it to me with an obvious want to be back in your bed?

4. It gives you a chance to relax before you start your day.

Enjoy the last few minutes you have to be in your pajamas, take in that wonderful smell of bacon grease frying up on the stove, and take another second to appreciate the fact that you haven't yet had to start your day. Enjoying a cup of coffee before venturing out into whatever you have on your plate for the day is good for the soul, and hey-who are you to complain about not having to get ready for an extra few minutes?

5. Coffee helps you present yourself more positively.

What happens when you try to approach morning rush traffic on South College before your cup of coffee? People die. Okay, so they don't actually die, but let's just say the concept of road rage becomes more conceivable without that first cup of coffee. Many of us may be familiar with the tribulations Wilmington traffic brings us all, and I wouldn't wish for any soul to be on those streets if I haven't had any coffee in my system.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
