OP-ED: I Ain’t Got Much, but I'll Always Have My Dunkin’ Boosted Status

It's been a long journey, and one I won't ever be able to forget.

I did something brave this semester. I started drinking at Dunkin' Donuts ©, and oh boy has my life changed. From Free Drink (with a purchase) Mondays, to Transit Tuesdays, to even, gah, November: Month of Deals, I've truly been on a tsunami of corporate brilliance.

Today, I reclaimed my time. I cashed in 800 whole Dunkin' Points accumulated both through purchases and thrifty deals for a Bacon and Egg Breakfast Sandwich. As you can guess, it was simply orgasmic. Not least because traditional Breakfast Sandwich deals at Dunkin' only involve the Sausage and Egg Breakfast Sandwich option. Variety is the spice of life.

While this photo does not show me beaming with glee, I was on the inside. The work has left me tired and weathered, but having nourished myself with much needed nutrients, I am energised to carry on so that somewhere, someday, sometime, I will climb the mountain again.

Proudly, I #runondunkin
