5 Reasons We Need a Dunkin Donuts on Campus

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Tampa chapter.

If I don’t have a coffee every six hours, I tend to have a melt down. That being said, I hail from New Jersey, where there’s a Dunkin Donuts on every corner. Since I’ve gotten here however, I haven’t had ONE CUP of iced coffee, so you can imagine the stress I feel of not having a medium caramel iced coffee with skim milk and no sugar in my hand. I say we band together and get UT a Dunkin IMMEDIATELY, before my circumstances become fatal. So without further adieu, here are 5 reasons we absolutely need a full-fledged, 24 hour Dunkin on campus.

1.  EINSTEINS, JAZZMAN’S, AND THE RATHSKELLAR AREN’T OPEN LATE

Late night studying calls for a pick-me up and what’s better than taking a quick walk to get a cup of joe as your 10 minute study break? No place on campus that sells coffee is open past 3, which is entirely disappointing for all of us procrastinators who put together an eight page essay the night before it’s due. 

2. DUNKIN HAS A WIDE VARIETY OF COFFEE FLAVORS

Most places on campus only offer basic flavors. Dunkin has something for everyone’s tastes. They also have iced coffee and coolattas which are essential in the Tampa heat. Bringing new meaning to thirsty Thursdays.

3. WE NEED MORE BREAKFAST OPTIONS

Dunkin has egg sandwiches, bagels, muffins and ultimately the best breakfast foods. The omelette station at Vaughn is fabulous don’t get me wrong, but sometimes I just crave a low fat blueberry muffin and nothing compares to what Dunkin supplies. 

4.  WE WANT MUNCHKINS

Nothing says freshman 15 more than scarfing down an entire 50 count munchkin box, but even seniors will be running to pick up their very own! There’s also no place on campus to get donut, which needs to change. 

These munchkins

not to be confused with these munchkins

 

5. IT’S DELICIOUS

I literally have no other reason to fight for our own Dunkin other then that it is so freaking fantastic. Every sip is like petting a unicorn whose hair is made of cash. It is the best cup of coffee in the entire world and UT needs to have one!
