The Starbucks Addiction

After speaking with my fellow classmate, Ian, I have gained the knowledge that there are many in this country, and even this world, that treat their daily coffees like crack cocaine. (Sorry Ian, ya had it coming). Ian used to work at Starbucks, where he saw coffee abusers use double, or even triple the amounts of sweetener, load on extra caramel, and request more whipped cream. No wonder 75% of the country is going to be overweight or obese by 2015. (Fact found from one of my Nutrition classes at San Diego State University).

I have never gotten into drinking coffee. I find the taste disgusting and bitter, and have decided to do all that I can from ever starting this never-ending addiction. My stance against this brown, murky beverage has held strong in my 3 years of college, which is a feat considering most begin because of late nights in Club Fondren, the hottest club around. Studying late early into the morning is common for Fondren go-ers and coffee normally is included.

I pledge to myself and my tummy that I will not start the coffee addiction. Starbucks, you can't have me.
