Coffee is an antidepressant.
My friend Carla made this observation once in college. We were sitting across from each other in The Cave (an on-campus café and pub) and out of the blue she said, “Coffee. It makes you less depressed!”
It was cute how she said it—like a lightbulb went on. I guess we were somewhat new to coffee drinking back then, but I think she was right. I’m most optimistic about everything in the morning, when I’m having my coffee.
