My dearest Dunkin' Donuts,

It's easy for me to recall some of the best days of my life. From graduating high school to being five rows away from the Jonas Brothers at one of their concerts, there have been countless times where I've felt euphoric "my life has been forever changed" moments.

There's one day I can remember quite vividly and one that ultimately changed my life forever: the day I took my first sip of Dunkin' Donuts' coffee.

When my mouth came in contact with the sweet sensations of French vanilla swirl iced coffee, I knew this was going to be the start of something beyond an addiction.

Since that day, you have become a lifestyle. I pretty much refuse to drink coffee from anywhere else. You have fueled my coffee addiction to a whole new level. Whether it's 11 a.m. or 11 p.m., you're always there for me when I need a quick pick me up. You have pulled through for me when I'm super tired, and you never judge me on the days when I desperately a need triple shot of espresso. Even when I'm hangry, you still manage to fill my heart with happiness.

It's also always something different with you. I can never get bored of you because you have so much to offer me. Even when you're out of caramel flavoring or you just sold your last jelly filled donut, everything is still okay. I can never go wrong with anything from your menu.

I am eternally grateful that you understand I'm a broke college student. By granting me Happy Hour prices, I can save an extra dollar and put it towards a textbook. You even put up with me when I have to pay for my order in all coins.

I know America runs on you, but you run my world. Without you, I'd be a sad, miserable, caffeine-deprived shell of a human being. My friends and I live vicariously through you and always bond over how much we love you.

I don't care how long the line may be; I am willing to wait as long as it takes just to have another one of your coffees or chocolate chip muffins.

If there's one thing I ultimately want to say to you, it's thank you.

Thank you for being something I can look forward to every day. Thank you for filling my heart with so much joy. Thank you for making my taste buds dance after every sip of caramel iced coffee and every bite of strawberry frosted donut. Thank you for never judging me, even when I come to visit you in my pajamas. Thank you for filling my veins with love and endless caffeine. And most importantly, thank you for serving the best coffee in the nation.

I donut know what I would do without you.

Sincerely,

A loving, loyal, and addicted customer
