Hey Ashley, don't worry about making the wrong coffee drinks, just say that's the way you were taught or that's how they make them in California... fake it 'til you make it! You've got yourself a great roommate and an even better friend in Cassie. Go easy on her, this is all new to her but she's got your back like you have hers.

Lying makes me so anxious though! I've just been saying that I'm sorry I suck which probably isn't great for my self-esteem but it feels more honest.

Maybe you could say you're learning rather than saying you suck? People generally are more inclined to be supportive and patient with someone who is learning as opposed to someone that sucks. Don't be so hard on yourself, we're are our own worst critics. Just remember to take a deep breath, relax and have a recipe cheat sheet handy. You got this!
