The Ultimate Atlanta Doughnut Bucket List

https://www.facebook.com/SarahDonuts/Friends, Romans, ATLiens and devoted doughnut lovers, lend me your ears and rejoice. Below is a list of all the places in A-Town here to sate your sugary cravings. Whether you prefer baked or fried, loaded in toppings or simply glazed, they're the stuff that comprise the pink-frosted fantasies of Homer J. Simpson and Instgrammers alike. And believe me, they're, um- worth the dough.

Donut Theory

Bloggers, cameras at the ready. This gourmet doughnut concept bakery, located in Alpharetta, offers such glorious flavors as a dulce de leche (with picturesque almond slivers sprinkled generously atop), and a brioche-style Boston Creme. Oh, and there's also a flavor called "The Homer"- ultimate respect, immediately earned.



Revolution Doughnuts

It'll be hard to resist the vibrant hues of orange pistachio, or the classic Georgia-ness of their sugar-dusted peach slider. You'll definitely want to go ahead and treat yourself to a cup of coffee here, too. Find it in Decatur.


Ray's Donut Shop

It might seem like such an easy-to-pass-by basic, but Ray's knows how to make a sour cream doughnut. They're also known to throw in a few extra doughnut holes when you buy a box! Find it in Marietta.


Tip Top Donuts

Tip Top Donuts in Marietta puts the Dunkin Donuts right next door to shame. Their blueberry fritters and apple fritters are especially popular among the locals.


Dutch Monkey Doughnuts

Just look at that strawberry bar and tell me you aren't already salivating. Bonus: they serve North Carolina-based Counter Culture coffee, which is deliciouuuus. You'll find this place in Cumming.


Da Vinci's Donuts

I probably won't be seeing any real Da Vinci works anytime soon, not on my college kid budget. But I can manage a trip to Alpharetta's Da Vinci Donuts. This shop offers all the basics, plus gourmet flavors like caramel apple, creamsicle, french toast, and pina colada, which are all a work of art in their own right. Feeling artistic yourself? They even have an option where you can design your own!



Bon Glaze

Bon Glaze's colorful array includes campfire (a toasted s'mores creation, pictured below), key lime, and cotton candy, which features an actual mound of fluffy fairy floss piled atop. Find it in both Buckhead and Brookhaven.



Sarah Donuts

Sarah's Sunflower is kind of a thing of magic. Actually, all doughnuts are a thing of magic, but especially Sarah's Sunflower. Find it in Norcross.


Vegan Dream Doughnuts

Let's take a moment. And thank the heavens above. For blessing us with a doughnut that might actually be semi-healthy. Semi-healthy, and allllll the way delicious. Go for the cinnamon rolls topped with strawberry, kiwi, raspberry, cashew, and carob. Find it on Atlanta's West End!


Doughnut Dollies

Sit down to enjoy not only the retro-yet-refined interior of this experimental shop, but also a classic strawberry or (for the more adventurous) rosewater and almond doughnut. Find it in Marietta.



Sublime Doughnuts

You can't not get an A-Town cream, but you also can't go particularly wrong with any of these super sweet, super soft confectioneries. Note: their logo is an angel-winged doughnut, which is very fitting, as their open-for-24-hours schedule makes them inevitably heaven-sent. Find Sublime near Ga Tech and in North Druid Hills.


Krispy Kreme

Yes, it's a chain, but there's no way a testament to Atlantian Doughnuts could go without mentioning the iconic 1965-built Krispy Kreme at the corner of Ponce. While not the original location (it's often confused with the shop constructed in 1937 in NC), the electric red "hot" sign and doughnut conveyor belt are just as much a part of Atlanta's bakery scene as any local establishment. Do I even have to tell you what to get? A dozen hot-glazed, please!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
