The Debate Is Finally Settled Between Dunkin And Starbucks

This is the breakdown of the two biggest coffee chains to see which one is the best.

The Debate Is Finally Settled Between Dunkin And Starbucks
PEXELS

This is it, everyone. Here is an in-depth analysis of both famous coffee chains and what I think of them. There is going to be four categories: Drinks, Food, Novelty items, and Price. So, let’s get to it:

Category One: Drinks

I will admit this up and down the street: Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is AMAZING. Their medium iced coffees with vanilla swirl can get me through any day, HOWEVER, I’m sorry Dunkin’, because Starbuck’s drinks reign supreme.

I can get a strawberry acai refresher in December, and that is glorious. Starbucks also has so many options for drinks that are caffeinated that are not coffee or tea. Fraps, refreshers, and “handcrafted sodas” oh my!

Winner: Starbucks

Category Two: Food

Dunkin’s hash browns are a godsend to all in the morning before going on a long trip, AND the doughnuts are so good. Though when you look at Starbucks’ best items on the list: the iced lemon loaf and the bagel bites, there is no way I can say who is better than the other in this debate.

Winner: Tie

Category Three: Novelty Items

There is no debate on how cute the novelty cups and items that Starbucks has to offer. Their partnership with Band.do had me screaming on how cute the whole collection was. Dunkin’ is slowly getting there with their novelty items, but as of right now, they cannot really compete with the juggernaut that is Starbucks’ novelty items.

Winner: Starbucks


Category Four: Pricing

There is no debate on this category. Dunkin’ Donuts is cheaper and even though it is cheaper, the quality is not bad at all. As a broke college student, I appreciate this so much. In all honesty, if I were to buy a drink and snack every day for a week straight at Dunkin’, I could take the money I saved from not going to Starbucks and use that to donate to a charity.

Winner: Dunkin’ Donuts

So, who won this debate?

For now…STARBUCKS, but don't get cocky Starbz. This can always change.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
