7 Struggles All Coffee Addicts Know to Be True

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at New Haven chapter.

1. That horrible moment between waking up and taking your first sip of coffee.

You can’t function whatsoever until you’ve had a sip of coffee in the morning.

Instant human: just add coffee.

 

2. When people don’t understand why you’re not talkative in the morning.

 

All communication and human interaction is prohibited until coffee has been consumed.

 

3. Staying over at a non-coffee drinker’s house can be described as being held captive in the devil’s closet.

 

“Wait, sooo, you’re saying you don’t have any coffee? Like, none? At all?”

 

4. When someone says, “we don’t have time to stop for coffee.”

There is ALWAYS time for coffee. THIS IS A PRIORITY.

 

5. When someone says, “Starbucks is so expensive.”

“…So?” You don’t see it as an expense because your life revolves around it. Seriously, it’s a requirement for your existence.

 

6. When people don’t understand why you love it so much.

 

Coffee is your pride and joy.

 

7. Your personality is a direct reflection of how much caffeine you’ve had.

It’s not you, it’s my lack of coffee.
