A Love Letter To Dunkin' Donuts

America most definitely runs on you, Dunkin'.

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

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
