To all of the pumpkin spiced lattes, espresso shots, black coffee and cappuccinos that I have drank over the years, this is a thank you to all of you. Thank you, coffee, for always being there for me whenever I need you.

You are the first thing I wake up to in the morning no matter what kind of night I've had. You prepare me for the day ahead and make sure I'm out and about. You are perfectly timed in the morning and brewed to perfection. That first sip of you is like a little taste of heaven and it only gets better.

You're there when I don't get enough sleep and wake up extremely groggy or when I am running late. Through all my good days and bad ones, you have always been there.

You've seen me through our good times and bad. When I was up late at night writing all my papers in undergrad, you never failed me. You help me get through that 7:10 AM train ride every morning to New York City and get me through the 3 PM afternoon hump when there's still 3 more hours to go.

At first, I wasn't very fond of the black coffee taste and I apologize for adding sugar and creamer to you. I have learned to appreciate you during all seasons, whether it's iced coffee or hot coffee. Thank you for bringing my friends and I together for coffee dates or comforting me on a snowy day.

I apologize for switching your brand every morning, but sometimes you have to try new things. Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Tim Hortons, Pret and even the Keurig cups all hold a special place in my heart.

Thank you for keeping me a caffeinated, happy person every day. I'm not sure what I would do without you. You're the best, coffee.

Love always,

A coffee addict
