Who can say no to caffeine?

5 Reasons Why Coffee Is The Best
Allison Pericles

If you're anything like me, you simply cannot live without coffee. Without it, you sluggishly move through your day, barely able to perform basic humanly stuff. The coffee bean has become the biggest symbol of energy, and here are few of the many reasons why we just can't get enough java.

1. It wakes us up.

Okay, I know this one is really obvious, but in a world that tugs us in 10 different directions, a little extra power goes a long way. Staying up until 3 am writing a paper? No problem. Just take a few swigs of coffee in the morning and you're good to go!

2. It's diverse.

Lattes and mochas and frappuccinos, oh my! You can literally get any flavor or size of coffee, hot or cold! Not to mention, a new wave of drinks crashes in with the change of every season. This means pumpkin spice lattes in the fall, and s'mores frappuccino in the summer.

3. Coffeehouses are super chill.

Coffeehouses are on the list of the most relaxing places on the face of our earth in my opinion. Between the lingering scent of coffee in the air and the go-with-the-flow attitude of the people around you, coffeehouses are the place to be whether you're getting some homework done or catching up with friends.

4. It's actually pretty good for you.

Believe it or not, coffee has its health benefits! Plain 'ol black coffee is very low in calories and high in antioxidants. Coffee also helps prevent Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes, liver disease, liver cancer, and heart problems.

5. We don't have to leave our house for it.

Lucky for us, coffee can be made at home and tailored to our hearts' whims thanks to advanced developments in coffee machines. Plus, it fills our homes with that wonderful caffeine smell that lasts for a whole day.

If I'm being honest, I could go on and on about the wonderful things coffee has to offer us, but you'd be reading this forever, and I'd be writing for longer than that. My point is that there's endless reasons to love coffee-and every single one is a great excuse to pick up a cup of joe in the morning!

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.

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.

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.
