Young Urban Professionals

I woke up at 5:45 a.m., because I had a bio final at 8 a.m. and I'm VERY, VERY paranoid about missing tests by sleeping through them. Anyway, it was a really cold morning today, so I decided when I left the house at 7 a.m. that I had time to get coffee. I didn't want to go all the way down to South Side, to get cheaper coffee, so I went to the Starbucks right by my apartment. Then I proceeded to pay $2.75 for a (really short) tall glass of Holiday Peppermint Mocha. It was like 8 oz. big. As I walked out, bitter about having wasted so much money, I took a sip of the coffee, and realized it was all worth it.
