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

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
