It's a rare thing when I haven't spent the day with coffee in hand.

15 Things You'll Relate To If You Are A Real Coffee Shop Person
Claire Gilmore

I didn't realize until this year that I am truly a coffee shop person. Something about studying in a warm and cozy coffee shop just makes my heart happy and my mind productive. I am blessed to go to live in a place with a myriad of coffee shops for different niches - industrial, eclectic, warm, bright, drive-thru - and I am slowly getting around to trying them all. With that being said, it's a rare thing when I haven't spent the day with coffee in hand.

1. You know the menu by heart

Especially your order, which you have down to a science of course.


2. And the secret menu, too.

Because sometimes you need to mix it up.

3. Studying there for hours is easy

During finals, I spent 4-7 hours at the coffee shop and only realized how long I had been there once the Baristas started to close up.


4. You live for the coffee shop aesthetic

If there's a cute coffee shop in a friend's photo, it's only a matter of time before you check it out too.

5. And it doesn't matter how far a new coffee shop is, you'll be there

20-minute walk? Easy. 30-minute drive? Nothing. 2-hour flight to another state? I can't say that I haven't thought about it.


6. You have your favorite spot

My go-to seat at my favorite coffee shop is in the corner by the window in front of the wall outlet. It's lovely.

7. When your friends ask to go get coffee, you know all the best places

Along with exactly what to order upon arrival.

8. You know and accept you spend way too much money on coffee

It happens.


9 The baristas know you by name

And your order.


10. Seasons are defined by the drink you order

January to February - skinny vanilla latte or medicine ball tea, March to May - iced matcha green tea latte, June to August - iced coffee with milk, September to October - pumpkin spice latte, November to December - chai tea latte or peppermint white hot chocolate. Y'all get the picture.

11. You recognize other customers at your usual coffee shop

I'm on a nod-and-smile basis with most everyone.


12. Road trips and new coffee shops go hand in hand

Driving home from college isn't complete until I have an iced wedding cake latte from Common Grounds in Waco.

13. Getting more than one drink a day isn't unusual for you

Sometimes it's just one of those days.

14. Keurig coffee never quite lives up

But if we're being honest I'll take anything.


15. If you're drinking coffee, it's going on the 'gram

Add a Bible or a book to the picture, blur the background just enough, and come up with a cute caption - you're golden.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
