An Ode To Dunkin Donuts

Expressing my love to my favorite coffee place.

Dunkin Donuts

Dunkin Donuts, the first thing I want to say is thank you.

Thank you for providing me with your daily dose of caramel iced coffee. Thank you for providing me and my college friends a boost of caffeine and energy after drinking your product. Thank you for making your coffee hella cheap and affordable so that I can purchase you every single day (.99 cents for a medium iced coffee by the way!). I am thankful that you have a very easy app to use for all the latest deals and sales, so that I can save some money. I am not so thankful that you have encouraged me to become an avid caffeine addict, but hey, you win some you lose some. Also, my wallet is not a big fan of you - my wallet wishes I would spend money on more appropriate things like clothes or books or things I actually need. But I still thank you for the very delicious coffee you have bestowed in my life.

I feel like my day feels a bit off without you in my life. I have made bets with friends to see how long I can last without you, and I have managed to only avoid you for a week. Being reunited was a sweet victory, more sweet than winning a silly bet. I can not get away from your sugary goodness and your bright orange straws. You also give me a reason for me and my friends to procrastinate from homework and studying, which I am forever thankful for.

I also feel very appreciative of your employees. I have managed to create relationships with employees at my Dunkin Donuts near my college and the Dunkin Donuts near my home. At each one, my friends and I get picked on for visiting you frequently. We also have that one employee who seems to be angry that we often occupy your place of work. However, most of the employees welcome me and my friends with warmth and friendliness when we enter this sacred place. Also, I am forever thankful for those few employees who will occasionally slip in a free beverage every now and then.

Dunkin, we have been through some ups and downs, good and bad days, and some real money problems. However, you will always be my #1 place to get really cheap and inexpensive coffee.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
