1. You make promises to yourself that if you wake up, you can get Dunkin'.
I am anything but a morning person. Just the thought of waking up before 9 a.m gives me chills. The only way that I can really get myself out of bed is if I bribe myself with Dunkin'.
2. You know the menu backwards, forward and sideways.
If you are anything like me you have tried every coffee combination out there and know when they change the menu around. I have gone through multiple phases of favorite coffee. When I was younger french vanilla was my go to, then mocha swirl, mocha coconut, blueberry coconut, raspberry coconut and now caramel pumpkin swirl. Although I have “favorites,” I definitely do not discriminate against other flavors.
3. You are willing to wait in that 20 minute line, no matter how late you are.
“Oh, I have 10 minutes to get to class? Yeah, I have time for Dunkin'.” *Stands in line for two years* “Worth it.”
4. You go from zero to hero in a matter of seconds.
You aren’t yourself unless you have had Dunkin' for the day. Even just one sip can bring you back to your glory.
5. You have the pre-loaded Dunkin' app
I have gotten at least 3 free coffees from the start of the school year with the points I earn at Dunkin’. Just load money onto the app and pay for your coffee through your phone. It is a way of Dunkin' making sure you always come back. But baby, I will never leave you. <3
6. When it’s Christmas time or your birthday you ask for Dunkin' Gift Cards.
“What do you want for Christmas this year?” Oh, just money, clothes and of course a Dunkin' gift card. Someone giving you a card that gains access to the best thing ever? Yes, please.
7. You plan your day around Dunkin'.
"Okay, after this class I will head to the library, make a pit stop at Dunkin', finish homework and go to the gym."
8. When you hear someone talking about Dunkin’, you feel like you MUST contribute.
You could be 10 feet away from me, talking about Dunkin’ and the next thing you know I’m right next to you. We are now best friends bonding over how amazing their coffee is.
9. The weather does not stop you from getting what you want.
There were multiple times this summer where it was pouring rain out and I still got in the car to venture to Dunkin’. But do not worry, it was safe enough to drive, my parents made sure of that. My favorite venture against the weather for Dunkin' was last February in the middle of a snow storm. My freshman year college roommate and I ventured across campus in two feet of snow to get Dunkin'. It also just so happens that the dinning hall was conveniently right next Dunkin', so it was a win-win.
10. It is not a good day unless it is a Dunkin’ day.
I think this speaks for itself. The truth is, we all have our obsessions. Some are obsessed with cats, others with Chipotle and some are even obsessed with boy bands. Dunkin' will always have a special place in my heart even if they give me the wrong coffee.
