10 Reasons Coffee Is The Best In Honor Of National Coffee Day

National Coffee Day falls on September 29, a fact that I don't think I'll ever forget, even though I didn't even know it was a "holiday" until just recently. Maybe that's because my love for coffee is still a recent development, or maybe I just don't keep up enough with the times, but either way, I can't think of any better time to recount why we all probably love it so much.

1. It keeps you up when you're on the verge of falling asleep.

Tired? Grab yourself a nice cup of coffee to cure that ASAP. Lots of homework and not a lot of time to complete it in? Not anymore thanks to the greatest creation of all time.

2. It warms you up when it's cold.

When winter finally rolls around, and it's time to break out those comfy sweaters and warm clothes, it's also time for my transition from iced coffee to cold coffee. There's nothing quite like a nice and piping hot cup of coffee to warm you up and help you start you day off right.

3. It cools you off when it's hot.

Giphy

Iced coffee is arguable my favorite kind of coffee, and there's nothing quite like grabbing one of on a nice (or unbearably hot) summer day when you're trying to stay awake without burning your mouth.

4. It serves as a nice midday pick-me-up.

Giphy

If you need a little something to get you through the rest of your day, coffee is what you should get. Whether you're falling asleep in class or dozing off in the library, there's nothing quite like a nice cup of coffee to keep you on your toes.

5. It's a great way to kick-start your day.

Giphy

There's nothing like a little coffee to wake you up on those mornings when you really don't feel like getting out of bed (so basically every morning). It's really just the best way to kick-start your day, and have you up and at 'em when all you really want to do is crawl back under the covers.

6. There are so many different ways to dress it up.

Giphy

You can get it hot or iced. You can get different syrups and flavors (as in, pumpkin spice). You can get some cool latte art. The possibilities are endless, and it's so much fun to branch out and try them all.

7. There are so many different places to get it from.

Giphy

The list goes on and on, from big businesses to local coffee houses. Trust me, I've been to more coffee shops than I would like to admit.

8. It leads to discovering new local businesses and homework spots.

There are so many small business that make a great cup of coffee and fun coffee treats, so trying out local coffee shops is a great way to discover new creations and support local businesses. It's also a great way to find new places to study and discover new homework spots.

9. It's a great conversation starter.

Meeting up with some old friends and don't know what to do? Get coffee. Trying to make a good impression on someone? Bring coffee. It's the best way to kick-start a conversation and get everyone on your good side.

10. It's amazing, plain and simple.

Giphy

I think I might have a coffee problem, and I accept that. It's just too amazing.

Remember, it's National Coffee Day, so treat yourself! How do you plan on celebrating?

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
