An Ode To Iced Coffee

Just add ice cubes.

An Ode To Iced Coffee
Huffington Post

Sleepless nights, pulling all-nighters, and early mornings have become all too familiar. But, thank goodness for the creation of not just coffee, but iced coffee. Whatever genius decided to put ice cubes in this already delicious refreshment is my hero. If there’s something I can look forward to on any strenuous day, it’s my next cup of iced coffee.

To my dearest delicious beverage:
You have been there for me on my best and worst days. You are what brightens my morning each day that I am so lucky to have you in my life. Thus, I have decided to display my gratitude for you with this poem:


Iced coffee is one of the most delectable treats
It supports me on days I overcome my greatest feats

The vanilla taste you have is oh so yummy
sometimes I even put caramel iced coffee in my tummy

Most days I just want to sleep all day
But then I drink iced coffee and it’s okay

I can always count on you to pep me up

You’re my favorite thing to put in my cup

Who knew that making coffee cold
would be equivalent to discovering gold?

Just drink one glass or a few
and days are made productive by you

My life was changed after that first taste
spending money on you is never a waste

Whenever I feel like I cannot get anything done

I stop what I’m doing and make an iced coffee run


Studying can go from being awful to the best
as long as I have iced coffee before a test


There are so many places to buy it from
Starbucks, Chick-fil-A: go get you some!


As cheesy as this may sound, I was always told to give credit where credit is due. It’s crazy how adding iced cubes can make a great thing so much greater. I owe a huge thank you to not only iced coffee but also to the inventor of the driving force to my most productive days. Without it, I would have never made it through all that studying, waking up early, and even writing this article. So thanks iced coffee for being so cool, literally.

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.

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.
