Here's the truth about coffee.I didn't really become addicted to coffee until college. I feel like that's a very cliche statement right there. Well, let me speak to all those not yet in college: college changes you. One of my changes, is that I drink a ton of coffee. So much, in fact that sometimes I think I give coffee the jitters!!!
So those of you not in college, or maybe you are in college, but you just haven't gotten on the coffee train yet, I want to give you a little heads up.
1. Don't drink three cups of coffee without food in your stomach. Don't believe me? Well, I still don't recommend you try it.
2. Learn to make your own coffee. It is a phenomenal life skill and you will thank me later!
3. Buy a proper travel mug. Not a cheap one that doesn't cover the little lip part you drink out of because guarantee there will be a day you are rushing to class and it will pleasantly splash hot happiness ALL OVER YOU AND THE PAPER YOU ARE ABOUT TO TURN IN!
4. Find a go-to drink. It's just a must. There is gonna be a day where you are having a meltdown because you have a ten page paper due in less than ten hours and you haven't started yet plus you are studying for a science test that is worth about 100% of grade and it's important that you do well since you're a bio-kinetics physics chemistry pre-med quadruple major ... DO NOT PANIC! If you are need of a go-to drink - I recommend to try either an iced white chocolate latte or campfire mocha blended from Caribou - two really solid choices there!
*SIDE NOTE: Coffee is a great drink in general even if you're not having a meltdown, in case you were wondering; so many ways to drink it - iced, blended, black, creamer, more chocolate, maybe even some caramel, and you have so many places to get it! You can make your own (my personal favorite is Archer Farms light roast coffee Dark Chocolate Truffle; not gonna lie, it's a little more money then I'd like it to be but a girl's gotta splurge on something, right?), there's a Caribou Coffee on every dang street corner in Minneapolis, every five blocks there's a Starbucks and if you haven't had one of their chocolate banana smoothies .... well you just really should, and you have other shops such as Spyhouse, Dunn Bros, J. Arthurs, and so many more.
5. Let's be honest, at the very least, order a couple coffee's in your life time so you can have some artsy Instagram photos - make sure you put some really cute caption with it or if you want to be really mysterious, don't use words but maybe throw in an emoji.
The truth is, coffee is everywhere and it appears to be something that's going to be attracting people for quite awhile!
