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

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
