Why Dunkin Donuts Is Better Than Starbucks
The Odyssey

The age-old debate: Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts? Some argue that Starbucks is better, but they are wrong. Nothing can beat the beauty that is Dunkin Donuts, and here's why:

1. They Have Donuts

Need I say more? Unlike Starbucks, Dunkin offers a multitude of delicious donuts. From glazed, to chocolate, to season flavors like pumpkin or peppermint, Dunkin has it all. Coffee and donuts were meant to be together, so this already launches Dunkin up to superstardom.

2. It's Way Cheaper

A cup of coffee shouldn't clear out your wallet. Starbucks charges a hefty price for the coffee itself, and then if you want any flavoring or extras, the bill adds up quickly. On the other hand, Dunkin doesn't charge you for any extra flavor shots or toppings-- so go ahead, order that extra caramel everyone knows you want. Also, it offers happy hour throughout most of the year, so you can get an iced coffee for only 99 cents. Starbucks needs to step it up, honestly.

3. They Give Away Stuff All. The. Time.


Dunkin just loves to give away free coffee, and what can be better than that? National Coffee Day? You get a free coffee. National Donut Day? You guessed it, free donuts. During most sports playoff seasons, if your home-team wins, you can get a free coffee. The list goes on and on. How often does Starbucks give away free things?

That's what I thought.

4. It Just Tastes Better

This is a personal preference, but Dunkin does taste better. There are numerous more ways to customize your drink, and they offer specialty coffees like lattes, macchiatos, and mochas-- just like Starbucks. They just happen to do it, well, better.

So save yourself the time and money and head over to Dunkin next time you're craving a coffee instead of Starbucks. Your tastebuds will thank you.

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.
