After being kicked out of Assumption Hall at a sickly hour of 10:00 am... side note: this is way too early for a hard working college student... I had no choice but to grab some coffee to get my day started before I had to jet off to Florida for Thanksgiving break! Once realizing our campus was completely desolate, I took an Uber to Southside Starbucks. Upon entering, you get hit with an atmosphere like no other. Now, I know what you're thinking: "How could any other Starbucks be different from any of the others?" BUT SERIOUSLY- this was honestly something way different. Placed right in the middle of this active community.

Starbucks is always bumping with fast paced workers and a fast paced clientele. I placed my order with Lauren who wore a cute beanie from PacSun and her personality was vibrant, but what really stood out was the quickness of the order: Skinny Peppermint Mocha with an everything bagel and cream cheese in UNDER three minutes, not to mention the deliciousness of the coffee and the perfect temperature for the gloomy, rainy, cold day brewing outside. I sat down and went to spread my cream cheese on this couch and then proceeded to write this article because of how this place made me feel. SO... long story short- come and enjoy what Starbucks on East Carson in South Side has to offer; and maybe anger your parents with a tattoo that you always wanted because it's right next to this building! ;)
