National Coffee Day Is Serious Business, and There Are Plenty of Memes to Prove It

For most coffee lovers out there, it's not really important when or how National Coffee Day became a thing. However, according to the National Day Archives, it officially began on Sept. 29, 2009. Since then, coffee aficionados everywhere have celebrated, either privately or loudly on social media, and there are tons of National Coffee Day memes to prove it.

Per National Day Archives, many began recognizing National Coffee Day around 2005, before it became an official holiday. Whether you celebrate by ordering a venti instead of a grande at Starbucks or you just treat yourself to an extra cup or two throughout the day, coffee is life for many, and today is the day to show it.

It's no secret that Rory and Lorelei love a huge cup of coffee from Luke's every morning. We still don't understand how they had the time to do this every morning before school and work, but we'll let it slide.

Maybe those who drink decaf coffee aren't as pumped about National Coffee Day. But to be fair, they still celebrate … just with fewer exclamation points.

No one is saying you should celebrate National Coffee Day just because Taylor Swift does. However, the fact that she may or may not be able to get enough of the piping hot or ice-cold caffeine beverage is just the cherry on top.

If you already happen to love coffee every day, a national holiday won't necessarily make you feel forced to drink some more. For some coffee lovers, it's just about getting others to also celebrate all things coffee.

In addition to drinking more coffee and enjoying more cups without judgment from others, coffee lovers can also get extra points from different coffee chains. Starbucks offers extra stars during the days leading up to and including National Coffee Day.

One downside with National Coffee Day is the added caffeine to your body. As in, you might need to cut yourself off a couple of hours before bedtime, or you'll have a hard time falling asleep.

Even Queen Padme doesn't get special treatment when it comes to coffee. But we would love to know how much caffeine is in "the world's most powerful coffee," TBH.

Call it the caffeine, or maybe it's a psychological thing at this point. But for many, getting that first cup of coffee in for the day makes a world of difference.

Only true coffee lovers understand that you don't need no stinking holiday to celebrate drinking coffee. Sure, it helps, but at the end of the day, coffee drinkers are going to drink it regardless.
