From dark roast to the sweetest frappes, coffee is a “must have” for college students. It provides us with the will to get out of bed, stay awake during lecture, and spend countless hours at the library. You may take it black or with cream, order a tall or venti, but no matter how you want it, we all appreciate coffee with extreme vigilance. At the end of the day, coffee is our best friend, our one true love, and the one thing that is always there for us when no one else seems to care.
Coffee is the miracle drink that enables all college students to prosper – awake. This energizing drink makes getting out of bed each morning just a little bit more bearable. With my friend Keurig just a climb out of bed away, I can be sipping on a large, steaming cup of Starbuck’s vanilla roast in no time. A special shout out to Keurig for never failing me—every cup brews flawlessly. You’re there morning, noon, and night with just a press of a button, never giving up on me, even when I’ve given up on myself. True life, I have a caffeinated love affair—sorry boys.
I don’t discriminate when it comes to coffee, as long as it’s not decaf—that’s a sick joke. When I need a cup at the library and see that the only brewed coffee is decaf, it’s like a stab to the heart. I would rather wait 30 minutes for the real stuff than sip on a useless substitute that does nothing for my catatonic, lifeless state. As long as it’s piping hot and isn’t decaf, I will gladly accept and cherish every last drop – in the largest cup available.
As finals approach, coffee becomes a game-changer for everyone. It’s a time when fervent coffee drinkers meet coffee skeptics. Especially now, the two groups must unite to survive exams. The week leading up to finals, followed by finals week itself, is a time when it’s acceptable to drink coffee endlessly and eat without limitation or judgment. Nutrition be damned; our coffee supply will prevail. With laser-like focus, we take our exams one at a time, coffee by our side every step of the way.
A world without coffee would be a scary place, especially on a college campus. There is no beast more terrifying than a college student without a morning, afternoon, evening or even late-night cup of joe. Take away coffee and our students will lose their charming wit and positive attitudes, not to mention their sanity. So here’s to you, coffee: always and forever in our minds, hearts, and bloodstreams.
