Coffee sucks. There is no way around it. At every point in my life, I have heard "Once you get to {high school/college/working} you won't be able to get through the day without it!" I beg to differ. Here are XX confessions of a college student who hates coffee.

1. No, I don't want to meet for coffee.

Meeting at Starbucks or a local coffee shop is typically the easiest place for a get together - there's free wifi, they always have pastries, and it's more inexpensive when compared to going out for lunch/dinner. But that doesn't change the fact that coffee dates are like death dates.

2. Yes, I always get my energy fix in one way or another.

Whether it's a soda, meditation, exercise, or even tea, I need an energy fix throughout the day. Since I don't enjoy coffee, I have to get creative with how I get my daily pick me up.

3. Truthfully, your bean water smells and tastes disgusting.

There's nothing wrong with this, it's just a fact of life.

4. And those frappe cappuccino latte drinks look disgusting too.

Personally, I don't see the point in a froo-froo coffee drink, but if you do - more power to you.

5. Yes, it IS possible to make it through the day without a coffee.

I've done it everyday for the past 20+ years. It is definitely possible to get through the day without a coffee drink.

6. Your sizing makes no sense. At all.

Why is a small called a tall?

7. Yes, I understand all of your coffee jokes.

Just because I don't drink coffee doesn't mean I don't understand the light humor in the "I need coffee" phrase used around campus all day long.

8. Every time I see a Starbucks line with 10+ people there, I think to myself "Is it REALLY that great?"

I'll definitely do my fair share of waiting for something I find valuable like concert tickets, Chick-Fil-A, a smoothie bar, but I seriously cannot figure out why anyone would wait so long for coffee.

9. Believe it or not, it is possible to start your day without coffee.

When people find out I don't drink coffee, I inevitably receive the question "How do you start your day?!" Ummm, I wake up? I totally get that once you're dependent on this drink it's difficult to get started without it, but believe me - it is definitely possible.

10. There is absolutely no flavor of coffee I enjoy. Please stop giving me recommendations.

I frequently hear "You need to try______" or "I bet you would like_______." Believe me, I've tried so many flavors and I have hated them all equally.

11. No, I'm not judging you for dropping $5 daily on a sugary drink.

(But I kind of am)
