People always tell me I drink way too much coffee. They always tell me how bad it is for you and that you probably shouldn't drink it everyday. What they don't know is that for me, drinking coffee is not just a habit, it is a lifestyle. I've drunk coffee every day for the past six or seven years. Obsession? Maybe. Others might say addiction. Let me explain why I drink coffee everyday.

Coffee is my best friend. He's been there for me every morning since I can remember. He is reliable. I know I can always count on him to start my day. Friends may come and go, but coffee is forever.

It is hot, so it's perfect to wake you up in the morning. It wouldn't be morning without burning my tongue on coffee when I'm in a rush. Coffee isn't just for mornings, though, it can also be relaxing. There really isn't anything nicer than cuddling up in your bed, drinking a warm cup of coffee.

Coffee also keeps me sane. There is no way I would be able to wake up at 8 AM, go to class, study, balance my social life with my academics, and fit in a workout without starting my day off with a cup or two of coffee.

It keeps me going. I'm a busy person, I don't have time for naps. For me, coffee is that little extra push that keeps me going throughout the day.

Lastly, it is delicious. There are so many different flavors to choose from. Therefore, coffee changes with you. You can also drink it hot or cold, depending on the season. Your coffee is an expression of yourself.

So to those of you haters who say that drinking coffee is unhealthy, back off. Eating donuts and french fries is just as unhealthy, yet McDonald's and Krispy Kreme are still in business. Coffee is what makes this world go around. It is the driving force for human life. If we didn't have coffee, there would be no universe or morning people.
