I began drinking coffee daily when I was in high school, and I haven't stopped since. I can honestly say that I wouldn't make it through college without coffee. After all, who needs sleep when there’s coffee? Coffee has been there for me when people haven't. It's given me liquid caffeine motivation when I'm feeling tired and lazy (which is often). If you see me walking around campus, nine-times-out-of-10, I will have a Starbucks cup in my hand. Basically, my existence depends on coffee.

If you can relate to most of these points below, then you may be a coffee addict like me.

1. Waking up is pointless if there’s no coffee.

2. At this point, coffee is a necessity to start the day. I can’t think straight or form coherent sentences without it. Don't expect me to be a ray of sunshine, either.

3. You’ll consume coffee in any form. Ice cream, black, iced, cream and sugar, a macchiato. The possibilities are endless.

4. You’re convinced that coffee runs through your veins instead of blood.

5. The smell of coffee is your favorite, hands-down.

6. Two-to-three cups of coffee a day is the norm.

7. Your coffee consumption dramatically increases during finals week. You’re embarrassed to admit how many cups you drink.

8. Your Instagram is full of photos of trendy little coffee shops and latte art.

9. There is a difference between Coffee Bean, Starbucks, Peet’s, and Aussie Bean. You can taste it, and you have your preference.

10. You’ve considered becoming a barista (or you already are one). It would be so handy to know how to make drinks yourself.

11. You know caffeine withdrawals are real. The headaches are the worst.

12. You’re a Starbucks Gold Card member. No shame.

13. You love receiving coffee mugs and tumblers as gifts. They’re cute and functional.

14. You didn’t know what true love was until you started drinking coffee.
