When you really think back to the coffee you drank in the morning, there is no telling what you were thinking let alone if you were functioning at all. As a college student, however, there may be many conscious not so conscious thoughts.
1. “I don’t even like coffee.”
There is nothing more psychotic than emptying packets and packets of sugar and praying that today is the day that you will fall in love with the one thing that will keep you up. But I mean, everybody is drinking it.
2. “I hope there is no quiz today…”
If there is one thing that could ruin the beginning of your day, it’s having a pop-quiz in the one class that you do not know a damn thing in…even the professor’s name (sending coffee-laced kisses your way).
3. “I can’t afford this.”
If I had any pet peeves, it would be a cup of coffee costing more than $3 and still paying for it. I honestly need to contemplate switching to tea. I guess it doesn’t matter at this point, it takes the same amount of time to get a cappuccino then a hot water with a tea bag in it.
4. “What should I wear today?”
If anyone is my spirit animal, it’s the Grinch: really digging my outfit one moment and deciding to change what I went to sleep in five minutes before class starts.
5. “I hope class gets canceled today.”
I mean, there’s nothing wrong with a little hope. Even if it means staying in bed to the absolute last minute checking your email five times every minute.
6. “Today is going to be a good day. I can do this.”
The odds are high that it is humid and that it's going to rain one minute after leaving your apartment or class and it's only eight in the morning and there are three back to back classes left. But associating a stress-free effect with coffee is literally no cost at all.
7. “I hope I don’t have to poop after this.”
Okay, so this might vary from person to person, but it does not take away the fact that coffee has a laxative effect. It doesn’t help when you admit to a guy you are grabbing coffee with that the coffee at this place gives you the runs…but hey, I have no regrets when it comes to coffee. I embrace my flaws. You should, too.
