Dear Coffee,

I couldn't imagine my life without you. Not a day has gone by that you haven’t been there for me. Through the worst of times, you keep me sane. From early mornings to late nights, I can always rely on you. The best part is... You never expect anything in return.

Remember that semester that I had a 7 a.m. lab on Friday? What about the time that I didn’t start my essay until 7 p.m. knowing it was due at 8 a.m. the next day? Or the day that I had to work an overnight shift and make it through class from 8-5?

The list goes on and on. Through all of these moments in life, you've supported me. Not once have you judged me for procrastinating, but only helped me find the strength to pull that all-nighter, and turn the essay in on time. You don’t get mad because I’m not a morning person; instead, you help me be less cranky. And most of all; you’re always there at the tip of my fingers.

With finals coming up, I wanted to express my gratitude towards you, Coffee. You've made my college years much less of a living hell. I've struggled a lot this semester, but the worst is yet to come. In these next two weeks, I have more essays, group projects, and finals than I care to think about, and I want you to know that I need you now more than ever.

Whether you’re made at home or I buy a cup at Starbucks, I cannot wait to see the wonders you will work in my life. I will warn you now… It’s not going to be easy, but I believe in you. Prepare yourself, and let’s do this.

Yours truly,

Your Most Loyal College Student
