Don't get me wrong, I have a huge appreciation for coffee, but tea is much superior. Even though I know this is an unpopular opinion, I have found some evidence to support it. Even as college students, it might be a good idea to switch to drinking tea and stop your coffee addiction! Think about all these points of difference to see if you've been drinking the wrong drink this whole time.

It's an easy switch between drinks. Maybe after reading about these 5 facts about tea, you'll see how great of a beverage it is! Coffee is great, but maybe tea is your true cup of tea.

1. The caffeine

The caffeine levels of coffee are pretty strong, but tea provides you with the right amount of caffeine. The caffeine in tea is more sustainable in keeping you awake and focused. The caffeine from coffee often results in a caffeine crash that is never fun to experience.

2. Nutrients!

Antioxidants are great for feeling fantastic in your own skin. Antioxidants keep you looking fresh, feeling healthy and tea has a high amount of them.

3. Other health benefits

Tea can help strengthen your immune system better than coffee. In addition to benefiting your overall health, tea is also a fat burning beverage.

4. Anxiety levels

Tea can help reduce stress and anxiety while coffee ignite anxious feelings. Coffee can accelerate your nervous system and quicken your heart rate creating stress. Tea is often more relaxing and even calming in comparison.

5. Hydration

Tea is much more hydrating than coffee is. Coffee can actually dehydrate you while tea is better at replenishing fluids to your body. It's smart to reach for tea over coffee on hot summer days to rehydrate

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.
