The 4 People You See At Starbucks

The 4 People You See At Starbucks

I will admit it...I've become a frequent Starbucks customer and study there too often. To be fair, there's free wi-fi, electric outlets hiding in the tables, the smell of coffee and productivity, and literally one on every other block. Everyone has been to a Starbucks, even if they don't like coffee, and if you actually stay there, there are four people who are guaranteed to be there.

1) The business professional

They're rocking business professor suit or skirt with a briefcase and usually a laptop. Mostly found with a partner and discussing the marketing sales of the last quarter. They make your online math homework seem silly.

2) The serious studier

Their venti drink is already empty by the time you get there. They're been zoned in on their work and there distractive phone is nowhere in site (brownie points, my friend). You almost wonder how they are getting so much done with all the noises, music, and people to pay attention to.

3) The reunion

Whether they're 12, 25, or 56, the reunion is two or more people sitting and just chatting. Their only productivity to accomplish is catching up. You often find yourself jealous of them, and eavesdropping on how their mutual friend Sarah is doing.

4) The high schoolers that had their moms drop them off

Solid move moms of the city! You watch them out of the corner of your eyes taking group selfies with their cups of "coffee" and spend more time picking a filter than doing the homework on their school laptops. Keep in mind though, they fought for a table with an outlet just to keep those laptops full of battery while running around and dancing.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
