There's something about the atmosphere of a coffee shop that seems to attract college students, whether or not they even like the taste of coffee itself. Not only are they popular places to do homework, but many young adults flock towards coffee shops for socialization as well. The town of Springfield, MO, which contains multiple universities, is no exception when it comes to a variety of coffee shop options. Here are just a few eclectic local places to get coffee here in Springfield, MO (in no particular order):

1. Mudhouse

If you want the quintessential feeling of a trendy coffeehouse located in a downtown city, this is it. Mudhouse's variety of coffee drinks, smoothies, desserts, and food is quite impressive and their staff is thoroughly knowledgeable of the menu. There's something for everyone at Mudhouse, even if you don't like coffee.

2. Potter's House

This coffee shop is literally right across the street from the Missouri State University campus and has an incredibly cozy, welcoming atmosphere. With three levels and a wide range of table and chair sizes, it's easy to find the perfect seating for however many people you're there with. The volunteer staff is quite friendly and their specialty drinks, such as the Oreo Quicksand, are delicious.

3. Classic Rock Coffee

This coffee shop is the perfect place to go if you like classic rock music along with your coffee. The atmosphere is reminiscent of rock arenas and there's even a separate room where bands will occasionally perform. One unique aspect of Classic Rock Coffee is that they serve delicious protein shakes in addition to coffee, smoothies, and food.

4. MaMa Jean's Natural Market

While MaMa Jean's is most well-known for being a grocery store, all three locations in Springfield feature delis that have a wide variety of coffee and smoothie drinks. Their Flavors of the Month are usually drinks that you won't be able to find in other traditional coffee shops. During the month of February, MaMa Jean's served a chocolate cherry latte that was unbelievably good.

5. Caffebene

Okay, so this last one may technically be a chain coffee shop, but its currently the only Caffebene located in Missouri. This coffee shop not only has a wide variety of specialty drinks, but they offer an insanely large assortment of bubble tea flavors. Also, they don't charge extra for soy, almond or coconut milk substitutions!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
