An Open Letter To Coffee

You were my first love and taught me what love was.

An Open Letter To Coffee

From that first sip in the morning to that very last drop in my glass. I don't know what I would ever do without you. You make me happy as I can feel the coldness of each sip run down my throat and into my stomach. Ever since I can remember, I have always been fond of you. From stealing sips of my mom's coffee to eventually convincing her to let me have my own, I couldn't think of any other love that is greater than the love I have for you.

I'll admit, at first I didn't know what I was doing. I drowned you with flavored coffee creamer and loaded you with tons of sugar. I was toxic to you and tried to change you so you would be what I wanted you to be. But as I got older and grew wiser, I realized that you taste better when you come as you are, in your natural form. Although sometimes you're taste can still be a little to strong for me, I couldn't even begin to imagine trying to change you like I did in the past.

Whenever I'm having a bad day the first thing I can think of that will cheer me up is stopping somewhere and getting a fresh cup of coffee. It's like an instant rush of happiness as soon as I indulge in that first sip. Just you and I, in the car, windows down and the music up, only you can make my day do a complete 180 and put me into a state of bliss.

And there's no better co-pilot than you. You go so well with all the music I like to listen to and you don't even though a fuss when I have the same song on repeat for 30 minutes. I feel like I'm on top of the world when I'm driving around with you next to me in my cup holder.

I don't know what I would ever do without you in my life. You're like the sun to my shine, the peanut butter to my jelly, and of course the coffee to jumpstart my morning. Without you my life would be incomplete and insignificant. I will love you to the end.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
