An Ode To Iced Coffee

Spring has finally arrived, which means that iced coffee season is here! Although, if you are a true iced coffee fanatic, all year is iced coffee season. Sure, if you are not entirely obsessed with it, you may think that people who drink iced coffee in the middle of winter are crazy. However, this is why gloves were invented. Now that the weather is getting warmer, iced coffee will be in the hands of everyone. Some things just taste better cold, and coffee is definitely one of those things. Iced coffee holds a very special place in my heart, as it does for many other individuals, and here's why:


Iced coffee is the most wonderful thing in the morning.

Any type of coffee is wonderful in the morning. Iced coffee, however, tops all. Whether you brew your own to pour over ice, or make a Starbucks trip on your way to school or work, nothing beats that first sip of chilled perfection.

Iced coffee makes the best mid-day pick me up.

When mid-afternoon rolls around, nothing is worse then feeling sluggish and tired. Especially when there are still hours of school or work left in the day. Iced coffee is the perfect treat that will wake you up, and instantly make you happier.

No need to wait for your coffee to cool down.

How many times have you burned your tongue on a scolding hot drink? Probably a lot.

It is always there for you.

Iced coffee will be there early in the morning, and late at night. It sees you at your worst, and your best, and still continues to be there for you. It supports you through rough mornings and all nighters. The best part is, no matter where you go, iced coffee will most likely be somewhere on the menu (thank God). It really is always by your side.

It is diverse.

From blonde to dark roast, to tall, grande, venti, or trenta, iced coffee is loved and appreciated in all colors, shapes, and sizes.


So many flavors.

Flavored iced coffee is a million times better iced. Dunkin Donuts cookie dough iced coffee is actually heaven sent down from above. Caramel, hazelnut, french vanilla, mocha, and coconut are all great too.

You look better with an iced coffee in hand.

... and feel better too. Can you say basic girl at her finest?


Iced coffee is better for you.

Have you ever heard of cold brew coffee? Cold brew coffee is better for your stomach since the acid levels are about a third of the levels in hot coffee.


It is never a bad idea.

You can make many mistakes in life. Drinking an iced coffee will never be one of them.


Iced coffee, I owe it all to you. Thank you for being one of my favorite things in life. Without you, I wouldn't get through the day, and life would be dismal.They say money can't buy happiness. However, it can buy iced coffee, which is pretty close.

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.
