Need a morning pick-me-up and don't know where to go? State College has countless coffee shops, but only some are worth the morning pit-stop.

Here are the best of the best from 2018 to use as a guide for next semester or as an incoming Freshman:

1. Garner St. Starbucks 

I'm a sucker for Starbucks, and this one is fast, in a convenient location, and perfect for studying (if you can get there early enough). It even has upstairs seating!

2. Sower's Harvest Cafe

New and amazing! Their variety of coffee choices is A+ and it's quality coffee! The food doesn't disappoint either. Just make sure you have enough cash to splurge, it's not the cheapest of State College.

3. Saint's Cafe 

This small little shop nestled on Beaver Ave is perfect for your morning or mid-day coffee. It closes pretty early, which can be inconvenient, but the atmosphere is like no other downtown.

4. Saxby's 

New to the Business Building this year, Saxby's has become loved by PSU students for its variety of coffee and foods. For those from the Philly area, Saxby's was definitely an exciting addition on campus!

5. Rothrock Coffee

Grab a group of friends and make the drive over to Rothrock Coffee for an amazing latte and avocado toast (what I recommend). The prices might hurt, but the taste and the atmosphere is well worth it. Consider it a lil' get-away!

6. Webster's Bookstore Cafe

This hidden spot on Beaver Ave is perfect for a quiet place to study or read! The coffee is great too. Check their calendar for upcoming events and head on over.

7. Au Bon Pain

There's one in the Kern Building and one in Visual Arts Building--both with the same great coffee (and food)! It's usually quick between classes, and they have self serve coffee. However, it can get crowded easily so find the best times to go.

8. Paterno Starbucks

It's new and modern, but the line is usually LONG. The seating around it is most likely going to be filled up when you visit too, but there's a study room connected that usually has a table or chair open! Great place to head for a study break when you're in the library.

9. Dunkin' Donuts

I'm not a Dunkin' girl myself, but for those of you that are, this Dunkin' is fast and its downtown (more on the west side)!

10. W. College Starbucks

I still love you 'Starbs,' but this one is far from most classes and central apartment buildings. Not to mention, it's always packed. I suggest you mobile order (LOL).

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.
