Coffee

We all start our mornings out in our own unique way. It could be your mom yelling at you for not doing the dishes the night before, birds pecking at your window, or having the sunlight peek through your blinds enough to force you out of your slumber. While all of those ways one could start their day sound thrilling, I think a lot of people turn to coffee to begin their day instead of those mentioned previously.

Why coffee? Is it the taste, the aroma? Does drinking coffee make you feel smarter? All valid reasons, especially the latter.

I enjoy drinking coffee to start my mornings because it is an instant pick-me-up. As soon as I feel the coffee hit my body I am automatically locked in for what my day (at least a few hours of it) has in store for me.

The amount of flavors and tastes that reside in the coffee spectrum are almost endless. French Vanilla, Brazilian, Colombian, the list goes on. Plus, you can get your coffee in more ways in than one. Frappe, frappucino, latte, you name it. There is always something right for everyone when it comes to coffee. Some people don't like coffee and that's ok, maybe they're a tea and crumpets type of person. Who knows...

A fairly big reason as to why I enjoy drinking coffee so much, paired with all the others that I have named, stems from the fact that there are coffee shops all over the Richmond area. It's really cool going to different places and trying new types of coffee and just taking in the experience you're having while you're there. It truly is a great feeling. Maybe I am going too in depth about a drink that I sometimes spend way too much money on, or maybe I am just giving the nectar of the gods its rightful credit. Either way, I foresee a long and everlasting relationship with the coffee and all that comes with it.
