"I'll take a large coffee with room, please." If I had a dollar for every time that those words left my mouth, I would be a hell of a lot less poor than I am now. I've been an avid coffee drinker since middle school (starting young, I know). Now that I've hit college, my love for coffee has become a full-fledged addiction. I can attribute a large part of this to being a busy student who doesn't get nearly enough sleep. It would be wrong of me, however, to not give some credit, and a big thank you, to the girls who showed me that coffee is vital, addiction is to be embraced and that small town coffee shops are your best friend—the Gilmore Girls.

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

If you admit the problem, does that make it less of a problem?

When somebody who doesn't know you asks if you like coffee

Asking if I like coffee is like asking a mouse if he liked cheese.

When you need it, you NEED it

Caffeine runs through our blood.

Warning: if you go a morning without, you may forget vital parts of your outfit

It takes at least a few cups to become a functioning human.

Once you've made this mistake, you will never try to function without it again

Need coffee for life.

Tip: If you bring us coffee, we will be your friend

We will accept coffee with open arms.

Sometimes, having to get a cup is almost more than you can handle

And right back to bed, thank you very much.

When you haven't had your coffee and you become this drama queen

Yes, not having my coffee first thing in the morning is the worst possible thing that that could happen!!!

Some people may judge

Don't try and change us.

But eventually, they learn to accept you

Just the coffee will do, thank you, Mr. Danes.

The only size you understand is "large"

Trying to serve me a small coffee? Oy, with the poodles already!

When you're desperate, you do what you gotta do

Don't judge what you do not understand.

There are just some people you can always count on to feed your addiction

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Some days, the coffee just isn't enough on its own

Gotta get through the day somehow.

It is more than acceptable to order your second coffee before you finish your first


Good coffee is good coffee. Period.

Every cup of coffee is to be finished completely.

Coffee is there for you when nobody else is

Diamonds? I'll take the brown stuff in the mug, please.

There is no such thing as "too much coffee"

I was just really excited about my one coffee, but yeah sure three works. too.

There is nothing that you love more than coffee

The love is just overwhelming.

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.

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.
