26 Telltale Signs You Need To Go To Coffee Anonymous For Your Coffee Addiction

As college students, many of us can relate to running off coffee every day. However, there are telltale signs that you have went from a coffee lover to a coffee addict.

1. You schedule your life around it.

Giphy

You have a schedule of coffee places to go to when to make it seem like you are mixing it up and also to save a little bit of money for future coffee purchases. For me, it is Starbucks on Tuesday and Thursday and Dunkin on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Saturday and Sunday's are flexible.

2. The baristas know your order. 

They have your coffee ready before you even arrive because they know it by heart. Even when it is something as complicated as "One Pumpkin Latte with two pumps of pumpkin, light ice, no whipped cream, and two splashes of almond milk" because one isn't enough and you are "trying" to be dairy free.

3. You anticipate new flavor releases.

Giphy

You make a trip to Dunkin or Starbucks on the day new flavors are released. Thank goodness for Instagram and their very informative updates that I cannot live without.

4. You coffee order is extra AF. 

Even the employees judge you for your beyond basic coffee orders.

5. You buddy up with the employees at your favorite spots.

In addition to your order, the employees know your name and ask you when are you coming to their coffee shop for your daily fix.

Giphy

You are having way more interactions with your baristas than with your friends.

14. You should really consider applying to get discounts. 

People say you could work at a coffee shop but you don't want your vibe to get ruined. Plus you wouldn't be able to sip on your coffee 24/7 while working which obviously would be a problem.

25. You could practically recite the menus.

Giphy

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
