12 Signs You Love Coffee Too Much

Coffee. Growing up, it was a drink only grownups liked. I always wondered what it tasted like and in middle school, I had a Starbucks caramel frappuccino for the first time. It was like a milkshake and it was sheer heaven. Then I went on a camping trip and had real coffee for the first time. I felt like such an adult having a cup of black coffee made in a percolator, not a blender.

And I hated it.

I had no idea that this was the base for the whipped cream, caramelly, treat I loved to have all the time. I told myself that if this was real coffee, I would never be a coffee drinker.

I was wrong.

When I started working at the Athens Y Camps, 24-hour supervision and entertaining of children sent me crawling to the coffeepot every morning. I learned to love it for the energy and the taste grew on me. Now I'm an avid coffee drinker and think it's fair to say that I've witnessed many characteristics of coffee lovers and can name some that all have:

1. You Love Collecting Mugs

More mugs=more coffee right? Never have to worry about running about clean cups. Plus, they can be just so darn cute!

2. You Consider Yourself a "Coffee Expert"

More like a coffee snob. I'm guilty of this when I refer to those frappuccinos I used to love as "desert coffee" and only prefer to drink "real coffee"

3. You Love This Scene in "Monsters University"

Correction: This is your favorite character in the entire movie.

4. The Smell of Coffee is Perfection

When you go the perfume store, you go straight for the coffee beans.

5. You Relate to Dexter's Parents

I forget that at one point in my life I could relate to Dee-Dee and Dexter.

6. You Want a Coffee Themed Gift Basket So Bad

You pray that one year you'll get one of these at the Christmas party and not another pack of candy with an iTunes gift card taped to it.

7. You Love Reading About Anything Coffee-Related

Oh, there's an article about the how to find the perfect grind for your coffee maker? Well, after I order this picture as a poster to go on my wall I will have to read up on that.

8. One Cup Ain't Enough

One cup WAS once enough but that was a long. . . long. . . time ago

9. Jokes Like This Crack You Up

Saw something like this in a Starbucks the other day. I wish I had taken a picture.

10. Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans Are the Best

I had these in a trail mix one time and I've been hooked ever since.

11. You Mark Your Calendar

This is a day where freebies are available at places like Krispy Kreme, Dunkin Donuts, Peet's Coffee, and deals at other coffee-famous shops. Why isn't school and work canceled on this great holiday?

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
