Coffee is incredibly trendy. There’s no way around it — drinking coffee just about as social an activity as drinking alcohol is. But when you’re the only one in your friend group who doesn’t jive with java, things can get a little hairy.
1. Hanging out with your friends can be a drag.
When your friends are all eager to hang out at the local cafe, you dread it. You want to be able to partake in the trend, but the idea of that bitterness lingering in your mouth gives you the creeps.
2. You’re always tired…
There is a huge part of you that wishes you could drink coffee because you need to be perkier in the morning — and throughout the rest of the day.
3. Or if you’re a morning person, you’re glad you don’t need that crap.
Some non-coffee drinkers are willing to rise with the sun — without the urge to consume caffeine. You’re bubbly and fun and willing to talk to anyone all day long. What a wonderful thing.
4. Whenever you go with friends to a coffee shop (read: Starbucks), all the options boggle your mind.
What’s the difference between a latte, a frapaccino and espresso??? Not to mention PSLs. I’ll have a hot chocolate please…
5. You feel pity for all your friends’ wallets.
They know they’re spending more than $30 a week on coffee alone. What about rent though?? And food…? You’d rather spend that money on a nice steak dinner — or tequila.
6. Your friends are all jealous you don’t drink it.
When their jaws drop when you tell them you don’t drink it, you smirk because you know there are so many benefits to not drinking coffee — you’re saving so many calories and so much money just to simply be awake.
7. They’ll try to drag you down by asking if you’ve even tried it.
Yes. Many times. It’s just gross. Please don’t ask again, thx.
8. You’ll hang out in a coffee shop just to bask in the smell.
Coffee smells good. Don’t need to drink it though. ’Nuff said.
9. But in the end, you know you’re better off just observing the coffee culture.
Sipping on hot chocolate is simply enough for you. Let them waste their money — and sell their soul — you don’t need it. You’re killer just the way you are.
