“That first cup of coffee in the morning is happiness.” Chopra said. “It’s a real joy.”
That's what I thought. The I went through a rough patch with no money as a student and couldn't afford it. The first two weeks taught me that it was actually a monkey on my back. I can't think of a better term but I felt like boiled shit.
I only drink water now.
- douche 11y agoHow poor do you have to be that you can't afford coffee? Maybe not the $5 a cup starbucks bullshitaccino, but you can get a cheap electric drip pot and a month's worth of grounds for $20.

- buffoon 11y agoYou're right but if I'm honest, for me it was because I pissed all my cash on a powerbook instantly and forgot to budget for stuff like food ;-) I still own that powerbook and it still works and thanks to it I learned to cook so it was a good investment in the long run.
- douche 11y agoNo shit, I was one of them. But we're talking the kind of money you can make in an afternoon of unskilled manual labor, to set you up for a semester's worth of coffee.
- cozzyd 11y agoYou don't even need the drip pot, you can always make it on the stove like my grandparents...
