A Love Letter To Dunkin' Donuts
The Odyssey Online

Dear Dunkin,

Oh, Dunkin’ Donuts, my main love. I’ve never been a coffee girl until I met you, but ever since, you’ve had me hooked. Your coffee, iced tea, low prices, and better yet, your donuts, always keep me coming back for more. You have snagged the heart of every college girl on my campus; yet, you’ll always be number one in my heart. You’re just a short, 3-minute drive away, and you keep me coming back every single day. Dunkin’, I don’t know what I’d do without you.

I remember one day last semester, my roommate and I decided to go on what was called a "Dunkin’ Run" after our afternoon classes. I had never been, but I have obviously heard every girl talk about the “99 cent Happy Hour”, the highly sought after iced coffee, and my wallet couldn’t object (even if I wasn’t the biggest coffee fan). Sure, I consider myself a somewhat basic white girl, and I make my way to Starbucks for a drink every so often, but I can truly say that Dunkin’ changed my life after that one trip.

The first drink I ordered, and my now go-to, is a mocha-iced coffee, with cream and four Splenda’s. After one drink, you’re absolutely hooked. I’ve even branched out, and their Vanilla Cupcake Iced Coffee will 100% change your life. And when you need a sweet tea fix but aren’t feeling McDonald's, Dunkin’ does not disappoint.

And don’t even get me started on the donuts; I’ve learned that Dunkin’s donuts don’t count in my 2000-calorie day limit. Walking into your local Dunkin’, and just seeing the wall of the numerous donut options make me want every single one. Donut holes, chocolate Long John’s, vanilla with sprinkles, powdered, glazed. The donut possibilities are endless.

Dunkin’, thank you for getting me through the tough days with just a sip of a drink or a bite of a donut. Thank you for getting me through my late night work shifts or study nights at the library. Thanks for making your daily Happy Hour at the exact perfect time in my schedule, so my roommates and I can go every single day. Thanks for having prices so cheap, my bank account doesn’t hate me (that much) for swiping my card there after every purchase. And above everything, thanks for having numerous yummy drinks and addicting donuts that keep me coming back for more. Dunkin' you now, and forever, will have my heart.

Love,

Your loyal happy hour college student

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
