I don't know about you guys, but I drink a shit ton of coffee. In fact, as I'm writing this I'm on my 3rd cup of the day. Average for me. How did it come to this though? When did I become a crazy coffee drinker?
My first cup of coffee:
I remember this so well. I was 11 years old and I wanted coffee because I thought it was cool. I don't know why I thought it was cool, but there ya go. So I asked my mom for a cup (for some reason I expected her to say no...) and she made me one. She warned me, "You might not like it."
She was right.
I hated it.
But I drank it anyway. One painful sip at a time. Seriously, every time the coffee touched my tongue, I made this ridiculous face that I'm sure looked like I'd bitten full force, no fear into the world's sourest lemon.
I didn't have coffee again until my Junior year of High School. I had so much work and I asked my dad what I could do to finish it (I knew I had to stay up late) and he suggested I try coffee again. Well I did. I went to Dunkin Donuts and I picked up a big cardboard box with a tap that was filled with coffee.
I finished it.
I may have overdone it that night, but I discovered that coffee is actually delicious. Even though it's not the best thing for our bodies. And I know that coffee isn't for everyone, but I think it's nothing short of a miracle. I think it also might have some addictive properties.
Also, decaf sucks. I don't know why anyone drinks it. It doesn't taste as good as real coffee and it doesn't keep you up.
Personally I hate coffee. I think it is absolutely awful tasting, and I have never felt the effects of it. A lot of my friends are coffee fiends, though, and they praise it just as much as you did in you post. They are all terrible procrastinators and use it to finish papers into the wee hours of the morning.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I absolutely hate coffee. Especially the smell of it! I know some people that are obsessed with it and it's aroma but I personally have never felt this way. I did only taste it when I was younger, like you said you did for the first time... maybe this is my problem and I should give it a second chance. I know so many of my friends drink it to wake up and stay awake, and it would be nice to be able to give myself some extra energy in order to get work done.
