12 Reasons Why Dunkin' Donuts is the Best

As college students, many of us absolutely need coffee to function to get through the day. While there are many spots on and off campus to get cofee, Dunkin' Donuts is the place to be. I got hooked on their iced coffee my freshman year, and now Dunkin' is a part of my daily routine. If you haven't had it before, maybe this list will help persuade you.


1. Iced coffee.

This can honestly make up the whole argument from this list. There are so many different flavor options and choices (I highly recommend caramel swirl). Also, it's good anytime of year, despite the feeling of frostbite holding it walking across campus in December.

2. Food.

I mean, it has donuts in the name for a reason ... and the munchkins! The munchkins rock and the donuts are always decorated with fun holiday sprinkles.They even have a healthy choices program to give even more options. They provide "smart swaps" on the menu and are labeled for lower calorie options. Or if you aren't a health nut, they have the best greasy breakfast sandwich options as well.


3. Campus perks.

If you are fortunate enough to have Dunkin' Donuts on your meal plan (another reason why Virginia Tech is the best) you are living large. I am comfortable saying a 1/3 of my meal plan goes to Dunkin'. I have to sometimes stop myself from going twice a day due to convenience.

4. It's simple.

I have never heard someone say, "I'd like a large coffee, no foam, extra hot, with three pumps of syrup, soy, sugar free, fat free (etc.), coffee at Dunkin'. It's just your average people just needing some caffeine in the morning, or at nine at night anticipating an all nighter studying.

5. The price.

It's nice not having to pay around $4 for an iced coffee, amirite?

6. So many fun names!

Dunks, DD — and of course the slogan: America runs on Dunkin'. Preach, Dunkin', preach.


7. FUN FACT: There are more Dunkin Donuts in NYC than there are Starbucks...

New York City knows what is up!

8. When they know your order.

Even better, when they know your name. That's when you know you've made it.


9. Gift cards.

Those do not last very long and definitely burn a hole in your pocket. They also have DDPerks rewards program! They even give you a free beverage on your birthday — how nice!

10. Social media.

Whoever is running Dunkin's Instagram kills the game. They post the cutest pictures and are always super bright and happy. Heads up — it'll make you crave donuts and coffee though, so beware.

11. The straws and cup hoarding.

There's a chance there is an abundance of straw wrappers and cups taking up space in all of your cup holders in your car.

12. Your day isn't complete without it.

A day without Dunkin' is a day wasted.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
