University Starbucks Revisited
Sitting here at Starbucks again, and initially i can tell that the atmosphere is much different than the last time that i was present. There are a lot fewer people here, seeing as i am here in the morning on a school day, rather than the weekend. The music that plays throughout the store is much more upbeat this morning rather than the soothing relaxing music that played on my last visit. I feel like this is because in the morning everyone is still trying to wake up. If they were to play the relaxing music again, many people would be even drowsy. I have noticed very few students sitting in to enjoy their drinks, as most of them are on their way to class so they are taking their drinks to go. The only people sitting in, seem to be older individuals. I distinctly notice one older couple who seem to be solely enjoying each others company to go along with their choice of morning drinks. They seem to have not lost their flare, as they are smiling and chuckling nonstop the whole time i am there. Other than this couple, almost everyone that came in got their drinks to go, and others who didnt, were only sitting for about 5 minutes. Mornings are very busy, and it seems like they only get busier at starbucks.
