Coffee, otherwise known as liquid sanity, is a caffeinated beverage that tends to give ordinary humans extraordinary abilities. This beverage is intended to be consumed in large quantities to induce maximum performance. Our world clearly revolves around this essential, thriving on its existence and providing opportunities to invest in this necessity within walking distance. So, what are the signs that you need to get your next cup of joe?

1. You’re breathing.

The first indicator is pretty simple. Are you alive? Of course, you are. Waking up to see this beautiful day is a great blessing. Is there honestly a better way to appreciate existence than to give yourself one of the life’s greatest pleasures? I don’t think so.

2. You don’t have a cup in your hand (or it’s empty).

Would you let your car run out of gas? I sincerely hope not. Allowing yourself to run out of fuel provides the possibility of a catastrophe. Think of the innocent people who are relying on you to take the appropriate precautions to maintain rational. This is serious, people. Your decision to drink or not to drink could impact the safety of others.

3. You have a short break.

Have you treated yourself at all today? This is the perfect opportunity. Hike over to the nearest coffee vendor and buy yourself the largest one. Trust me, you deserve it.

4. You want to give

Contributing to the economy is a part of your civic duty. You are bettering the world with every penny that you invest into this delicious, hot beverage. Think of the hard-working individuals who have devoted their time and energy to creating a quality product for you. A few bucks in helps a company to thrive and pay their employees accordingly. Look at you, changing the world and stuff.

5. You want to assert your independence.

There are so many choices to be made when ordering a cup of coffee. Cream or sugar? Black as your soul? An extra shot of espresso? Maybe two? It’s all up to you. The power is in your hands! Choose wisely.

If you are anything like me, you probably would take this stuff through an IV if there was any possible way of doing so. Addiction? Nah, it’s a lifestyle. Through late night study sessions, early morning alarms, and everyday madness, coffee has your back. Coffee is committed to helping you achieve everything on that pesky “To Do List” (and then some!). Your cup of joe just wants to give you a little extra hand. Help coffee follow its dream by following yours. And, for Pete’s sakes, go buy yourself another cup of coffee.
