Types of students as these coffees
all songs can be found on my dark academia playlist here
Double Espresso Shot: ‘In Your Dreams’ by Dark Dark Dark
fighting the enticing rounds of clouds that tempt you towards sleep when you have thunderous deadlines looming over you, handwriting that looks like hieroglyphics carved into your pages, hair tousled and lively paired with sore eyes and charcoal bags, pulling through for the golden star stickers
Iced Latte: ‘Rosie’ by The Kooks
embellished notes with jewel tones and angelic hues over titles, embroidering your playlists to create the perfect harmonies to motivate and support, raspberry juice stained cheeks as you watch the engrossed student in the library, soaking in the honeyed comfort of your marks
Cappuccino: ‘Fancy Shoes’ by The Walters
swimming through the caramel atmosphere of the warming coffee shop, resting in the bustle like a nesting bird as you work, rhythmic tapping on keyboard keys, detailed thoughts as you match your outfit to the subject you’ve decided to indulge your mind in, a stained mug which is never empty
Mocha Frappe: ‘Does It Ever Cross Your Mind’ by The Paper Kites
golden rays casting shadows over your page, pastel highlighters soaking through the writing, cornflower skies and light wash denim, soft distractions by marigold butterflies or watercoloured dragonflies, stacks of flashcards that assemble a miniature town of buildings for the bugs that watch you work
Americano With Milk: ‘October’ by George Ogilvie
finding you’re best at focusing when smothered by the moonlight that casts through the gaps in your curtains, artificial fireflies warming up the midnight coldness of your room, embracing the emotional support from a furry friend, feeling the hourglass rest and relaxing into the freedom
Flat White: ‘Happy Pills’ by Weathers
ignoring the work placed upon you and indulging yourself in a subject that flicks your interest into a golden sparkler, exciting days treasure hunting through book shops for hidden gems and nostalgic favourites, losing your mind in the fictional world you’re writing about and forgetting the imminent deadline of set work
