General: I never understood why they made us think college was the best time of our lives…

I’ve been pretending to love coffee for years. Everyone raves about that morning ritual, but the truth is, I hate the taste and the jittery feeling it gives me. I sip on decaf just to fit in with my friends who meet up at cafés, and sometimes I even throw in a fancy name for my order. It’s exhausting keeping up the charade.

There’s something about the smell of a new hardcover and the thrill of adding another title to my collection that gives me this rush.
