So I am writing this post as I sit in one of my favorite places to be, Starbucks. There is just something in this coffee air-filtered building that gives me a sense of happiness and peace. I have been spending an ample amount of time in here sipping on their delicious caramel infused anything (caramel just goes great with everything). It has come to the point that a day is not perfect unless I have a cup of Starbucks within arms reach of me. I know its sad, but it is the truth, there is just something about their drinks that just makes the sun brighter and the people more pleasant even if it is raining outside and everyone decided to be a b**ch for the day. Also Starbucks is just a great place for you to just sit and people watch or to have a coffee chat with your bestie. Placing that to the side, today is the first day I have ever wonder how did Starbucks begin. It was like they popped out of nowhere and became America's addiction. Who are you Starbucks and what in the world is that creepy lady doing on all of your cups?
