A Thank You Note To Dunkin' Donuts

Dear Dunkin' Donuts,

Whether it's running into your 24-hour store at midnight before an all-nighter in the library or sailing through your drive-thru at nine in the morning before work, I have always been able to count on you to keep me going. Being a busy college student, sleep is rarely an option and without you I would never make it through this crazy period in my life.

You have everything anyone could need to survive a hectic week. Coffee, for those pesky all-nighters. Hot tea, for when those all-nighters catch up to you. Delicious donuts, for when we remember that we cannot live solely off coffee. All of the essentials are conveniently in one place. This means the only logical next step is to open a store right in the middle of the library. There would be no reason for anyone to ever leave again. This would be especially beneficial during midterms and finals week when every student is desperately trying to cram 900 pages of history or seven chapters of calculus into their brains while trying to write three 10-page papers due all in the same day.

Or, when you have just worked for six days straight and do not think you have it in you for a seventh day, Dunkin' is there to carry you through. All of these things, which sound as if they may only be completed with the help of fairy godparents (thanks, Timmy Turner), can be achieved with a little elbow grease and a large iced coffee, skim milk and no sugar, please.

Alternatively, when it is summer or winter vacation and you manage to take a few weeks to catch up on sleep, Dunkin' is there with great iced tea or the fabulous Dunkaccino, a blend of coffee and hot chocolate. After waking up in the afternoon, ready to take on a day of more napping and Netflix binging, Dunkin is the perfect place to run to make you feel like you accomplished something that day.

So thank you, Dunkin' Donuts, for being there during a time of great need for college students. Which is pretty much every day, sometimes even multiple times a day. But hey, who is keeping count?

Sincerely,

Overtired students everywhere

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
