11 Things Non-Coffee Addicts Agree Will Wake You Up As Well As A Cup Of Coffee

If there’s one thing I knew before coming into college, it was that I needed to be prepared for late nights in the library and thus, find the nearest coffee shop that would be open as long as possible.

I’m from Seattle and MAN, I love Starbucks. I have an order for every season, some with espresso and some without. That being said, I’m not a coffee addict. I tried to be because TBH, I thought it was cool. I tried different varieties of coffee. It didn’t really do anything for me — it was just a few extra calories each day.

I’m not really sure why I’m not a coffee addict considering the amount of campus Dining Dollars I really do spend at Starbucks. I just don’t wake up needing it every day. I don’t ever feel like it wakes me up enough that it’s worth me waking up early to make a cup.

Don’t get me wrong — I’m not hating on the coffee addicts. Everyone needs a little something every day. I guess I really just don’t understand. Coffee is so tasty, but when you crash, it's not that worthwhile is it? When it moves everything straight through your system, is that worth waking up?

Most of the time, I’m not even awake when it’s still early in the day. For the most part, by the time I wake up, it’s time for lunch. I don’t have time to have coffee — I’ve got to get going!

Here are 11 things that wake you up in the morning just as well as a cup of joe:

1. A cold shower

2. Washing your face

3. A nice workout

4. A dank brunch

5. The sun

6. Your fave hype music playlist

7. The smell of bacon and/or pancakes

8. A cup of tea

9. Watching a funny video

10. Your friends

11. Opening your eyes

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
