10 Reasons Why Dunkin Is Better, As Told By "Grey's Anatomy"

Dunkin Donuts

There's something extra special about a Dunkin' Iced Coffee in the morning.

1. The coffee drinks are actually made of coffee, not 1,000 pounds of sugar.

There is no need to 'doctor' up a Dunkin' Coffee; they are perfect the way they are. And that will make your doctor very happy.

2. Dunkin' Donuts - costs $2.50, Starbucks - costs an arm and a leg.

I spend between $2 and $3 on my daily Dunkin' order, depending on what I'm drinking that day. Even on the occasional trip to Starbucks because I have a gift card, I still feel like I am selling them my soul for that $6 cup of diabetes.

3. The DD App has TO-GO Ordering.

Imagine a world where you could order your coffee through an app so it was ready when you got there..... Oh wait.

4. The Food.

There is nothing better than a fresh everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese before your 8 a.m. class. And once again, said bagel does not cost you your left kidney.

5. You can never leave a Dunkin' without a story.

Dunkin' Donuts employees are a rare breed. One time I got one of those expensive tumblers for free because I was wearing his favorite color. Although some strange things happen in DD, you keep going back.

6. EVERY location accepts gift cards.

The most stressful part of going to Starbucks is that you never know if that location will accept your gift card or not. Which is especially stressful when that is the only real money to your name that week. I have yet to come across a Dunkin' that doesn't take their own gift cards at certain locations. Stress free coffee ordering, check.

7. The free coffees speak to you.

After earning 200 points you get a free coffee. Which, if you use your DD app to it's fullest, is about a "Buy 5, Get 1 Free" deal. That's a win in my book.

8. Dunkin has a secret menu just like Starbucks, but longer.

If I told you the secret, it wouldn't be secret anymore now would it? Just kidding. But let me put it this way, if you wanted to try every coffee Dunkin' has the ability to make, it would take you over 40 years according to Secret Menus. My advice is to start now.

9. On EVERY receipt there is a coupon for a free donut if you take the three minutes to complete the survey.

Then once you go in for your free donut with your coffee, that receipt will also have a survey code. The free donuts are endless. (Really, I'm not kidding)

10. And this is how you feel at the end of the day:

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
