12 Thoughts I've Had Waiting In Line At Starbucks

Coffee, coffee, and more coffee?

Sometimes getting Starbucks is exactly what you need to turn your day around. A friendly face and a boost of caffeine can do wonders, especially when the stress of school is really bringing you down. I feel like all Starbucks stores are pretty similar, but are all Starbucks experiences the same?

1. Do I really need coffee?

Have I had coffee yet today? Do I have a lot of work to do? More often than not the answer is yes, I do need coffee.

2. Why is the line so long?

The worst part about Starbucks is having to wait for what seems like forever to get your drink.

3. Do I have enough time to wait in this line?

It's sad when you don't have time to run to Starbucks. Also, the walk of shame out of the line when you realize you don't have time to wait is uncomfortable.

4. What should I get?

There are SO MANY options! Coffee or tea? Something strong or something sweet? Hot or iced? And that's not including the different ways you can customize your drink with extra pumps or different kinds of milk. Don't get me started on all the "secret menu" drinks.

5. Should I try something new?

I can't be the only one that gazes at the menu, fully inspired to try something new, then ends up ordering the same thing I always get. Maybe one day I'll be that adventurous.

6. How many Flexdollars do I have left?

Flexdollars are real money, but they don't always feel like it.

7. Is my favorite barista working?

It's always a good day if you get to see your favorite person, but your day will get even better if your favorite person makes you a great drink.

8. Please stop having a conversation -- I have to go to class!

Being friendly is great. I understand you had that professor last semester, and they're probably very nice. However, I am in a time crunch and I would very much appreciate having some coffee to get me through my class. Grumpy, un-caffeinated students like me would very much appreciate if you conversed at a later time.

9. That mug is so cute!

My mug collection would be endless if I impulsively bought every cute mug I saw, but that doesn't mean I can't look and admire the cuteness of the mug displays.

10. Shoot, I'm next and I still don't know what I want!

The panic of realizing you're next to order but you don't know what you're getting because you were too distracted by the pretty mugs is real. And, you don't want to be the person that goes up to the counter and takes forever deciding because you hate that person too.

11. What size?

Is it a venti kind of day?

12. Hey, there's my friend!

Coffee + Friends = Happiness

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
