1. There’s nothing like a warm cup of coffee in the morning…
2. …and when you miss that precious part of your daily ritual, your day inevitably goes awry.
3. With all the flavors of coffee creamer out there, everyone is sure to find something they like.
What do you mean, there’s Thin Mint coffee creamer?! Where do I sign up?
4. That said, there’s something so romantic and pure about an unspoiled cup of black coffee.
Although, let’s be real: it’s always too bitter without any sugar.
5. 8 a.m. classes exist.
Enough said. I salute you, fellow 8-a.m.-coffee-guzzlers.
6. All-nighters are a college reality, and you have to be prepared.
Grab your Keurig, your K-cups, and your favorite mug, ‘cause you’re in for a wild ride.
7. It’s so easy and accessible to find.
There’s a Starbucks everywhere you turn on campus. Thanks, capitalism!
8. But even if you harbor some anti-corporation tendencies, you can still get your fix.
Cafeteria in New Paltz is my jam!
9. The seasonal beverages…oh, the seasonal beverages…
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t wait all year for my venti pumpkin spice latte.
10. Coffee makes everything better.
Rough night? Coffee’s there. Cold, rainy day? Coffee’s there.
11. The coffee shop is the perfect spot to get stuff done.
It’s a nice escape from the piles of dirty laundry and unorganized papers in your dorm.
12. And, hey–it doubles as the perfect date spot!
Even if your partner in crime isn’t a coffee connoisseur, they’re sure to find something they like among a cafe’s tea or hot cocoa collection.
13. The cute mug options are endless.
They make the perfect gift–and now that everyone in your immediate family knows about your addiction, expect endless mugs as stocking stuffers.
14. What else would you drink in the morning?
Don’t give me any of that “green tea has caffeine” crap, we all know coffee’s where it’s at.
15. Your hands may shake after your mid-day iced coffee with a triple shot…
16. …but you can’t imagine your life without coffee, and you wouldn’t want to, anyway.
It’s a very happy marriage, thank you very much.
