My artifact from my second semester is an iced mocha from Connecting Grounds (with almond milk please). I would never drink coffee before coming to college. I never thought I would be a coffee person since I’m naturally very antsy and jittery, but now it is an essential for my long study sessions. I love getting coffee as a treat for myself on Sundays that I’m locked up in the study room working. My go-to order is an iced mocha with almond milk because I only like coffee cold, I love sugar, and my stomach doesn’t love milk. Sometimes I’ll get caramel syrup, but I’m not really a fan of all of the fancy coffee flavors. Connecting Grounds is right next to my dorm and tastes super good so they get a lot of my business. I also get coffee from Crane Cafe in Hagerty Hall because it is sometimes difficult for me to stay awake through my 80 minute Spanish class that is in Hagerty Hall. Coffee is turning into a seriously big habit in my life, but college (specifically first year engineering) can do that to a person.
