And yes, I wrote this is a cup of coffee in my hand.

There's no doubt that everyone has some sort of addiction. Some people are addicted to nicotine, while others are addicted to the feeling you get after a long workout. For me (and many others), that addiction is coffee. Not caffeine necessarily—just coffee in general. I can't really go anywhere without stopping for coffee first, regardless of what time of day it is. Many say my coffee addiction is unhealthy, while others say it's a waste of money. I'm here to tell those people to suck it while I suck on the straw of my venti iced blonde caramel macchiato with a double shot of espresso.

1. Coffee transforms me into an entirely different person.

You hear people say all the time, "Don't talk to me until I've had my morning coffee." There's a reason it's a popular phrase. I swear, coffee morphs me into a completely different human being. Even if I've been awake for hours, it will still give me an extra kick. After that sweet first sip, my eyes get brighter, I'm able to form coherent sentences, and I can even smile like I actually mean it.

2. My coffee addiction is FAR less harmful than other things out there.

Oh, I'm sorry, would you rather me be addicted to cigarettes? Or better yet, maybe cocaine? How about you come and talk to me when you finish smoking that last cigarette in your pack. I know caffeine isn't the best for you, but neither is half of the other crap everyone puts into their bodies.

3. It's my money and I'll spend it how I want to.

I'm sure if I added up every coffee purchase I've ever made, the dollar amount would be a little jaw-dropping. But it's really not that bad in comparison to what people spend on other things. Cigarettes aren't cheap. Even bottles of cheap booze can still rack up a pretty hefty tab. How about you worry about your money, and I'll worry about mine.

4. Coffee not only makes me feel like a new person, but it tastes great too.

There are so many different kinds of coffee and flavor combinations out there. You can always count on Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts to come out with their holiday-flavored drinks. Aside from these corporate coffee giants, a lot of local cafes have their own house blends and specialty drinks (which are usually better anyway).

5. Coffee is one of the many things that brings me happiness and joy.

Like I stated before, coffee transforms me into a more functional person. But not only that, coffee just makes me more pleasant. I can be a pretty cranky person sometimes, and coffee counteracts that side of me. So unless you want to deal with that side of me, I suggest you let me stop through the drive-thru real quick.

6. It's really none of your damn business anyways.

Who cares how much coffee I drink? Is my white chocolate mocha personally affecting the way you live your life? No? Didn't think so.

The next time you see me with a coffee in hand, just know that it's probably my third or fourth one of the day and that I am doing just fine.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
