The Top 3 Coffee Shops In Riverside, CA
Augie's Coffee

Riverside, CA has a historic downtown area that attracts thousands of people during the holiday season for the Festival of Lights. If you're going to be in Riverside and are looking for the best coffee, I highly suggest these four places as a Riverside native.

1. Augie's

Augie's is located on the corner of Twelfth and Main in Downtown Riverside. The checkered flooring gives off a retro vibe that is matched with the rest of the decor. With an inexpensive tea list and various coffees to choose from, Augie's offers that downtown ambiance right next to the Hall of Justice without the crowds. My favorite seasonal drink is their Apple Cider that warms you up in seconds. For warmer days, I enjoy the Iced Summit Blueberry Tea.

2. Molino's

Molino's is right across the street from the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa, providing its patrons with a stellar view all year round. The chandelier gives off a sense of elegance, which is complimented by the vintage look of the rest of the decor. Outlets are very accessible which makes this a favorite hangout for students and professionals. My favorite drink is the Sweetheart Tea which is only advertised around Valentine's Day but can be easily made all year by asking a barista.

3. Back to the Grind

This coffee shop screams hipster. From the huge sun to the mosaic tables, this place is visually stimulating, yet also pleasing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but my favorites for drinks are the Thai Tea, Snow Monkey Plum Iced Tea, and the Vanilla Latte. They also have many smoothie options on their menu, which is something that is not seen as much in coffee shops. This place has the best options for food among the places on this list. Fun fact: you can get hummus on the veggie burger instead of condiments (or both), and it is amazing.

I can never come home to Riverside without going to one of these coffee shops (or all three).

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
