Me, my blog and my purpose

Welcome to Seriously Buzzed!

My name is Jana. I'm a college undergraduate in my senior year and pursuing a bachelors degree in communication with a journalism concentration. I'm taking an online journalism course this semester. In this class, we are required to create a blog.

Me? A blogger? It's odd I had never considered it before, because I love to share what's on my mind...cool.

Hmm, what could I blog about? What am I passionate about? I love to talk about everything from relationship advice and baking to computers and technology, but I'm not a bookworm, sports fan, TV junkie, or fashionista - but I am a barista.

My miniature poodle, Bailey, likes coffee too.

I have proudly produced and served specialty coffee and espresso drinks since May 2005. I work at Coffease, a locally-owned specialty coffee drive-through business, and Saxbys Coffee. Needless to say (but I'll say it anyway), I know a lot about coffee.

Seriously Buzzed is a blog about coffee - from the American cultural obsession to making specialty coffee and everything in between. I'll cover coffee facts, coffee shops, origins, health risks and benefits, misconceptions and more.

I want to extend a special thank you to Grace Kendall. She came up with the name "Seriously Buzzed" as soon as I mentioned I would create a coffee blog.
