I’m a lover of all things coffee, a diehard Americano enthusiast and an absolute caffeine addict. Nobody I knew was surprised when I became a barista last summer and continued it into this summer, too. I work at a local coffee shop in my hometown in Michigan, and it’s the best job I’ve had yet. The highlight of my job, besides the unlimited free coffee that fuels my addiction, is that I’ve learned many life lessons from both customers and coworkers.

The American diet is inadequate. This isn’t a surprising statement, and in fact it seems to have become more common knowledge in recent years. Surviving off the American diet alone, packed with calories, fats and sugars, could potentially be a death sentence. It’s a one-way track to many health problems, such as obesity, cardiovascular disease and increased mental health problems.

The world is constantly changing — politically, socially and environmentally. News publication is continuous, world happenings shift by the minute and people always have opinions to share. The bombardment of news has become more profound in recent years due to technology, search engines and news apps with notifications. The news never stops, journalists never sleep and there’s always something new to learn.

When you wake up in the morning, if you’re part of the majority, you might make a cup of coffee to start your day. Using a coffee machine, you press a button and in little to no time, a steaming cup of coffee is waiting for you. Your prepackaged breakfast in the fridge is waiting to be microwaved, your online shopping packages are outside waiting to be brought in and your Roomba is currently vacuuming the house so you don’t have to. We utilize new technology and companies in order to live our lives with more ease — a sort of ease that we barely seem to notice anymore.

Ever since I was young, I’ve constantly heard about the importance of being healthy and taking care of yourself. Back then, being healthy was about eating vegetables, which as a child were poison, and exercising in some way, which often felt like a punishment. When I was young, I didn’t understand the importance of being healthy and what advantages it brought. Healthiness felt like a cruel idea, because what could be good for me that wouldn't let me eat candy and watch TV?

After hearing about the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsing, I, like most people, felt saddened and my heart went out to the families that lost loved ones. However, these sorrows were distracted by conspiracy theories that I found littering the internet after the incident. I fell down a Googling rabbit hole, reading conspiracies about the event, each one seeming more outlandish than the last.

During spring break, I got to live out my traveling dreams when I went to visit my sister — who is studying abroad — in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Toxic femininity is a term I’ve heard quite a bit, but never understood just how much it affects women today, including me. Toxic femininity refers to the idea that women should adopt feminine behaviors in order to appease men and appeal to gender norms. This concept is especially prominent when it comes to the way women dress and are expected to dress in modern society. Toxic femininity acknowledges the ways in which centuries of fashion expectations for women still linger, despite being severely outdated in this advanced world.

Music has always played a massive role in my life, and I can’t remember a day without it. Throughout my childhood, my early teenage years, even when I was a baby, I was always listening to music. My life sometimes feels like it has been one big music video. With all this music comes so much emotion and memory, and for me, it’s a means of transportation.

I can say with honesty that some of the best moments of my college years happened well past midnight, surrounded by friends. What I love even more about these late-night moments is that even when the clock is ticking and the hours are passing, everybody stays. So deep in conversation, so lost in stories and relatable moments, nobody notices the time, and nobody cares. Another cup of tea, another piece of pizza, another moment together.

College, I’ve been told, is a time to discover yourself. As I get further into my college career, I fully believe this statement to be true. You’re young, free and excited. The possibilities are endless, and you can quite literally do anything you set your mind to. It’s a time to grow, explore and understand yourself. In other words, it's all about you.

College is a busy time, from attending classes and studying to making friends and staying active — the list just goes on. But once you move off campus into your own place, it’s a whole other level of adulting. On top of your already busy schedule, now you must plan every meal, and at some point, you’ve realized throwing instant noodles in the microwave isn’t going to cut it anymore.

We are all familiar with procrastination. Whether it is that paper you waited to write until the night before it was due, the test you didn’t study for until the morning of, or the presentation you waited a little too long to practice for and ended up just winging it instead. We’ve all been there — some more than others. But consider looking at all those times we procrastinated on a piece of work as a good thing.
