Starbucks. Some hate it.  Most love it.  For Julia Jacobs-Jones-Meyerson, she absolutely has to have it. As diabetics would certainly falter without their insulin, Meyerson would have a tough time staying awake in Writing 140 without her grande chocolate-caramel-double-shot-hold-the-whipped-cream latte. But that’s not the worst of it, it can only come from stand-alone Starbucks stores.

Julia has tried getting her caffeine fix from Starbucks chains that are inside other stores like the ones in airports, etc., but each attempt has been a complete failure, with her last try providing no exception. After vomiting all over bystanders precisely 4.3 seconds after tasting her grande chocolate-caramel-double-shot-hold-the-whipped-cream latte from the Starbucks within local Trojan Grounds, Julia stormed back to her room and promptly called her daddy. She finally stopped wailing after he promised to buy her an even more expensive dress than the one that now had over-priced sushi from the night before crusted all over it.

When asked about the incident, Julia was only able to mutter “but…but…but…” before storming off once again. However her father was able to relay that Julia now wakes up at 4:30 every morning so that after the hour trip to her favorite Starbucks and back, she still has time to curl her hair a third time before heading to class. Hey, at least that double shot will keep her awake.
