What It's Really Like Being A Non-Coffee Drinker

Coffee is not my go-to solution for mornings or any time.

What It's Really Like Being A Non-Coffee Drinker
Work From

"Let's meet at Starbucks!" Is the common phrase spoken whenever meeting with classmates or friends. It seems to always end up being at Starbucks or some similar coffee shop within campus's reach that everyone thinks is a great idea to meet up at.

Luckily they have much more than just coffee, but it's a little awkward when everyone has a powerful cup of caffeine and you're just low key stirring your herbal tea and have your own cake pop (yes, adults can enjoy cake pops with no shame.)

It's also that one time you thought that it was a great idea to try slamming coffee down before your final the night and morning of, only to find out you're about to lose your cool. No one wants to be missing finals, so you suffer through the pain and hope for the best. Hopefully for next time, you'll skip the coffee and rethink a better habit.

The people who swear they can NOT survive without coffee because it's their golden serum are always surprised when you explain that you don't drink coffee in the morning or really, ever. It's like still believing that you can function just fine without coffee, but no matter if you have caffeine or not, you'll will never function 100%. Late night studying and other activities take up most of your precious beauty sleep anyways so just adding coffee into the mix won't fit.

As for when the group brings some Dunkin', it's totally cool to bring big 'ol boxes of joe for everyone. But you can't help but just kind of skip the offer and head straight to the donuts and other snacks provided. Sprinkles, curlers? Heck yes. Dunkin' Donuts has donuts in the name, so who just needs the coffee?!

There's totally no shame if you enjoy your coffee, but for us non-coffee drinkers, we'll have something else to motivate us and find our ways to pull all-nighters.

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.
