Some people hate it. A lot of people love it! I am one of those people. I wake up every morning and have cup of good old black joe and start my day. As the day progresses, I usually have more cups and more cups. Sometimes it gets to the point where I get headaches if I do not have just the right amount of that happiness in my mug. However, I do catch a lot of criticism for having this delicious drinking problem. Here are 20 things we all know as being true if you are addicted to coffee.
1. The caffeine headaches are nothing to mess with.
After a certain point in your coffee drinking habits, you may get a headache or two if you do not drink your beverage right when you get up.
2. It warms your soul.
No feeling is better than the first sip of a nice cup of coffee and feeling it warm you from the inside out.
3. Once your coffee set in, you begin to gain perspective on your life.
It is almost like your own personal sun rising throughout your cloudy morning.
4. Your friends just do not get it.
Me: "Hey I am stopping to get coffee before I come over."
Friend: "Can you not just skip your coffee getting and just come get me?"
Me: "....No"
Friends just simply do not get it. Coffee is a must before and people-to-people interaction happens for the day.
5. It is beyond frustrating when a coffee shop messes up your order.
That time they messed up my order on a Monday before the sun rose in my life.
6. You can drink it any time of the day or night and it really does effect you that much.
Personally, I can drink coffee any time of the day or night. Contrary to belief, coffee really does taste good! I do not care what time of day or night it is! I can drink coffee as early as 7 AM and as late as 9 PM. It is delicious and I love to drink it.
7. Your papers have coffee stains on them.
I have several papers that I had sitting on my desk at school (mostly syllabuses for my classes) that have accidentally gotten coffee stains on them. Sometimes it just happens and you just have to accept it and move on.
8. Coffee gets expensive.
It totally gets expensive to go to places like Starbucks or Tim Hortons to get coffee. Some places have rewards programs which all coffee addicts know about. It is always a special treat when you buy seven coffees and get your eight free.
9. It is a comfort.
When my grandpa was in the hospital I always got coffee to go sit with him. It was a time where it felt like my entire world was crashing down and the nice warmth of a coffee cup in my hand was weirdly comforting. Now, when I am stressed out because of school or work, it is a nice comfort to have a nice cup of coffee and relax for even just 20 minutes.
10. Even the smell of coffee can make you smile.
Whether it is the caffeine, the smell or the comfort. Coffee is a great thing to have in your life. It is a wonderful drink. Plus, there are worse things you could be addicted to!
