11 Coffee Orders And What They Say About You

Coffee: One of the biggest blessings on planet earth. Coffee brings people together, it fuels our days, and it's just so dang good. One cool thing about coffee is that it can be enjoyed in many different ways and each person prefers theirs just a little bit differently. I truly believe you can tell a lot about a person based on their coffee order - or at least what kind of coffee drinker they are.

1. Black coffee

These people like to keep it simple. They may be a business person in a hurry, or they just simply want to enjoy the true flavor off coffee. Whatever the case, these people are real coffee drinkers and don't need cream or sugar to cut the bitterness.

2. Coffee with cream and sugar

The coffee with cream and sugar category is wide, mainly because the amount of cream and sugar varies from person to person. In this case, the color is also important. If their coffee is very light and basically looks like milk with a dash of coffee - these people are hardly "coffee drinkers". They are caffeinated milk drinkers. These people pretty much want the caffeine but can't stand the taste of coffee. On the darker side, they're trying to like the taste of coffee, but still need a little help from their friends cream & sugar.

3. (Insert flavor) latte with an extra pump of (insert flavor).

This is not coffee people. These people really just love the fact that they can drink something really sweet and call it coffee. Don't get me wrong, I love a good vanilla latte lightly sweetened every now and again, but there is such a thing as too sweet, and if this is your everyday order, I'm a little concerned for your well-being.

4. Cappuccino

This person loves foam, and there's a good chance they're sitting down for a chat or to do something artsy while they enjoy this drink. There's also a good possibility they just got back from Italy and are pretending they're still there (aka me whenever I order a cappuccino).

5. Pour Over

Total Coffee snob. The only reason one orders a pour over is if you don't want the drip coffee the coffee shop has brewed. But in all honesty, if you want a REALLY good, fresh cup of coffee, order a pour over. The process that goes into it may take a little extra time, but it really brings out the taste of the coffee.

6. Espresso

This person is no-nonsense. They just want caffeine and they want it ASAP. The straight up espresso drinker is also a seasoned coffee drinker, because man does the taste of espresso pack a punch. I like to order an espresso after dinner if I know I still have a lot of night ahead of me but I don't want to drink a whole cup of coffee.

7. Cold brew coffee

There are many different cold brew drinkers, but usually they just want something refreshing and caffeinating at the same time, so cold brew is perfect.

8. Nitro cold brew.

This is your trendy coffee drinker. They're probably wearing a denim jacket and look like a really cool person.

9. Decaf coffee

This person clearly likes the taste of coffee, because why else would you order coffee with no caffeine?

10. Cortado

These people are a little fancier than most. A cortado is basically just espresso with a little bit of milk and they usually come in an adorable little cup. They photograph well if we're honest.

11. Mocha

The classic mocha. These people might think they sound cool for ordering this drink, but it's essentially just hot chocolate with a shot of espresso.

Obviously coffee doesn't actually define you as a person, but there are many different types of coffee drinkers in this world. In all seriousness, whatever your coffee order, just keep doing you. Some coffee snobs might judge those who order drinks a certain way, but coffee was meant to be a versatile beverage. Cheers!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
