Waking Up With Starbucks In Your Cup

Part 1
The best part of waking up is Starbucks in your cup. Or at least that is what mnay WSU students believe. At any given time of day the line at Starbucks is always full of people. Whether it be 5 or 15. The staff seems to have figured out a smooth way to keep the number of people from becoming completely overwhelming. There is a certain system to the functioning of the Starbucks line. One gets in line (most likely behind 10 other people) and then proceeds to wait their turn to give their order. There is a certain Starbucks employee whose soul job, it would appear, is to take the orders of the people standing in line and then writing them down in the coffee cup slip covers. Once the customer has waited their turn and given their order, they then continue to wait to now pay for that order. Once they have finished paying for their drink they then proceed to wait for that said drink. Basically, one can deduce that to go to Starbucks on the WSU campus is to play the waiting game. While the system runs smoothly and has little to no problems it is very apparent that for WSU students a caffeine fix is a must have before, between, or after classes. Once the said caffeine substance is bequeathed to the customer, it is therefore immediately sampled. It is almost as if the customer can't even wait to sit down. From observing the doings of the Starbucks system, one would probably conclude that caffeine is the drug of choice for WSU students.

After making my list of titles I found fascinating I discovered that most of them went in one of three categories. The first category of titles I found interesting is the relation between gender and food. The second category I found my titles falling under was food related diseases such as anorexia nervosa and obesity. I also discovered that I found the topic of food related diseases, such as mad cow, very interesting. All three of these topics I would love to read more about.
