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
