A Santa Monica Coffee Date

April 13, 2016

Here at Pepperdine we like to say we get trapped in the “Pepperdine Bubble.” That is, we don’t leave campus for days or weeks on end and forget there is a great big world out there beyond Pepperdine. I tend to get caught up in my school life and let my focus turn too narrow and inward. Once in a while I need a breath of fresh air. So today my friend Sarah (who has made many appearances on this blog) and I went to Primo Passo Coffee shop on Montana Boulevard in Santa Monica for a little break. We needed to burst the bubble! I had so much fun sipping my latte, taking polaroids and window shopping along the street. I would highly recommend it if you’re looking for a study break or a yummy drink. Hope you’re having a good one friends!

An Ode to My First Love

Oh sweet, dark one
You were my first true love
Boys may come and go, but you remain
Filling me up the way no human ever could
Sustain me with your life giving caffein
Through study, conversation, recreation, you are there
I enjoy you all over the world, day or night, hot or cold
Monday morning, Friday night, Winter or Summer
Some say our relationship is unhealthy, dependent even
But I say haters gonna hate- we are perfect together
Without you I am depresso
You are and always will be my number one bae
I love you coffee
