I usually drink instant or go to McDonald's. Starbucks is great, but so expensive! The local mom and pop cafes are even worse, though they do have better baked goods and also gelatto!

I never knew until I started drinking it that I've always needed coffee. In high school I always left the house looking really troutty. It was because I was tired and I really didn't give a trout. I slept in class all day and of course that just made me more tired, so all throughout the day I continued not giving any trouts. By my senior year I was showing up to school some days with nothing but a pillow in my bag and I was always very curt with people. I just wasn't a morning person, and starting my day in the morning just kind of mucked the rest of it up.

But then I got this 8 to 5 job that requires attention to detail and friendliness so I was like "this isn't going to cut it, maybe I should try this coffee thing out" and hey now I function like a normal person!
