 Coffee or Tea?

Coffee and tea are both popular drinks that people all around the world enjoy daily. However, which one is better? Everyone has an opinion on which drink they prefer; however, it factors down to many different attributes to determine which drink is essentially better. Taste, fulfillment, health, variety, and individuality. First, taste; coffee has a rich coffee bean flavor. You can add a selection of different ingredients to enhance your coffee; however, the simplicity of coffee beans and their taste are original. Tea has a flavor that is determined by what you add to it. A warm drink that can taste tart, bitter, sweet, and even salty. Second, fulfillment: coffee is a great way to start your morning. It is a filling drink that will get you energized and ready to conquer your day. Tea can also be caffeinated, but usually in smaller amounts compared to coffee. Some people start their day with a hot cup of tea, though it's a drink that is most enjoyed during the evening as it's very calming. Third, health: coffee has some health benefits, such as slowing down dementia, guarding your liver, and protecting you from type 2 diabetes. With these benefits also come some health disadvantages, such as nervousness, muscle tremors, and headaches. Tea also has health benefits, including the prevention of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Similar to coffee, tea also has some unhealthy disadvantages, such as reduced iron absorption, nausea, and dizziness. Both drinks can be indulged in a healthy quantity, but which downside is worse? Variety and individuality with coffee are never-ending. There are many different ways to enjoy your coffee, whether adding different creamers, syrups, or other great attributes to make your cup unique. This individuality makes everyone's cup of coffee different and more enjoyable due to its connection with their preferences. The variety of coffee is also broad: iced coffee, espressos, americanos, lattes, mochas, and much more. This abundance of variety ensures that everyone can find a specific type of coffee that satisfies them. Tea also has a lot of variety and individuality. Tea can also be customized and made personal, which is great because your cup of tea might be completely different from your friend's cup of tea. This individuality is what makes your drink special; therefore, it makes your experience of drinking it special. The variety of tea is unlimited, from green tea to herbal tea to black tea to matcha, and there are endless flavors from different cultures, flavors, and smells. After breaking down these two drinks, which one is better? The debate over which drink is better is an undebatable topic due to each drink's positives and negatives.

    This is a very informative piece! I had no idea that the coffee and tea had so many health benefits, or that drinking too much tea could cause a reduced absorption of iron. Though I am partial to coffee, I can appreciate a good cup of tea, especially a warm matcha one.

    Personally I don't really like either. The way that I see it is hot teas are sad soups, and coffee is what gives me strange headaches and shaky hands. However, I will still drink a coffee if I need to be awake for something, or if I didn't get enough sleep the night before.

    Coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee... Um. I mean... :) Actually, both have their place. I have a coffeepot AND a collection of teas in my office, because they serve different purposes. I like that they have benefits, though :)

    Me personally I have no preference. I like both, it just depends the kind of mood I’m in.

Sarah - Week 4 - Florida whether is not a great as people say it is.

      Many people say that Florida's weather is great because it is sunny, happy, and never cold. However, in my opinion, there is such a thing as too much sun. I don't understand how anyone could enjoy the pain your eyes feel going from a neutral room to the bright outdoors. Sun also isn't necessarily good for you. Its main health benefits are that it can boost your mood and provide you with vitamin D. However, its negative health effects include damage to your skin, eyes, and immune system. Excessive skin damage from the sun can even cause skin cancer.     Another reason why I don't like Florida's weather is because it only has two seasons. It is either hurricane season, or it is extra hot. Plus, you don't get to experience the beautiful colors of the trees changing in fall or the gorgeous scenery of a white winter. A few Floridians have never even seen snow before. This is crazy to me since playing in the snow with my brothers was one of my favorite thi...

Leah Mousseri - Week 2 - A Book in a Game?!

Image
      In the 21st century, there's a game for everyone. From shooting games to simple farming simulators it's almost impossible to not find a video game that interests you. One category of video games that I think is disliked by many for the wrong reasons is visual novel games. These games largely consist of dialogue and are often slow-paced and more relaxing compared to other genres. Visual novel games focus more on the story and characters rather than things like puzzles or combat.       The most common argument that I've heard against these games is that they're the same as a regular visual novel and have little to no actual gameplay in them. From my personal experience playing games in this genre, this is true for many visual novel games. I have played games that almost entirely consist of dialogue with a few choices that determine which ending you get. In my opinion, these games aren't very entertaining unless the story is well-written and compell...

Zander 5: Why Do We Care About Remakes?

Image
  A pattern I’ve begun to notice recently is that many of the most popular video games and movies often tend to be remakes of old pieces of media. While the most obvious examples of this would be the remakes of old Disney movies that have been released over the past several years, there are many more examples of this. For example, one of the most popular games this year was the remake of Resident Evil 4, and one of the most anticipated upcoming releases is the remake of Persona 3. So why is this, and what is the interest of playing a game you’ve already played, or watching a movie you’ve already seen? Well, firstly, there’s the appeal to those who never played or watched the previous piece of media. The appeal to this group is obvious, as to them, it’s new content. Even if one already knows the plot and twists of a story, experiencing it first hand can still be entertaining. Even if  you’re already familiar with a piece of media, viewing or playing it’s remake doesn’t complete...
