5 Signs That You're Obsessed With Dutch Bros. Coffee
Arizona Coffee

The Dutch Bros. Coffee Company was first established in Oregon, but it has made a huge following in numerous stores located in the sunny state of Arizona. In fact if there was a survey conducted among Arizonians whether they prefer Dutch Bros. or Starbucks, most will definitely say Dutch Bros. Now what makes Dutch Bros. more appealing as a private coffee chain than one of the world's biggest coffee empires? Is it the energetic baristas blasting pop music in their work station that gives customers a mood boost? The stamp cards that creates loyal customers, giving the incentive of a free drink? Or could it be the variety of drinks that expands through the simple menu? Whatever it may be for those in the "Dutch Mafia" or fans of the coffee chain, shows a huge following for college students in Arizona, which adds to the caffeine addiction.

So here are the signs that you might be obsessed with Dutch Bros!

Sign #1 : Weekly caffeine trips

Whether it is located nearby your college campus or it's a road trip to the nearest blue stop, you and your group of friends will plan out a day and time for your weekly caffeine fix. For me, it seemed that my friends and I go to Dutch Bros. every week, I'm convinced that a few more trips and the barista will remember our orders by memory.

Sign #2 : "I never had Dutch Bros. before" equals spontaneous coffee runs.

Anyone that has been a loyal customer of Dutch Bros. will have that same exact face whenever a friend or colleague mentions never having any Dutch goodness. Immediately everyone will go to the car and drive to the nearby coffee drive-in or walk-in just so someone's first experience with Dutch Bros. can be witnessed by multiple people. Based on a personal experience, most "Dutch Mafia" members are made through friends and recommendations.

Sign #3 : You always have your stamp card in your wallet!

As for me personally, I have my Dutch Bros. stamp card IN FRONT of my I.D., just so it is out and ready to be one more away for a free drink. These stamp cards are a clever marketing strategy that just adds to the quality of the drinks Dutch offers. Be on the lookout on social media for special days where you can get 9 stamps!

Sign #4 : You've ordered off the secret menu multiple times!

While ordering from the secret menu can be nerve racking in other places, the baristas at Dutch Bros. are cool about it whenever you order from the secret menu. In fact every month Dutch Bros will have four featured drinks that are secret menu items that anyone can order! My recommendation, the Ocean Water rebel, it's like a blue raspberry Jolly Rancher you can drink!

Sign #5: You love taking photos of your drink!

I call this piece of mine "The Super Mario Brothers"

You know that Dutch Bros. appeals to the average college student when the company is highly active on social media through Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. In fact the Arizona Dutch Bros. locations love playing scavenger hunts through Instagram where anyone can find and win Dutch Bros. items! There's just this visual appeal of showing off that simple plastic cup on a hot summer's day. It's either that or that you just want to show that you're obsessed with Dutch Bros. coffee.


Now if you show at least one of these signs, it means that you have an obsession with Dutch Bros. This may be a personal bias, but if one must be obsessed with caffeine, make sure it is from Dutch Bros. Coffee.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
