It is November, which means Starbucks Red Cup Season is upon us. An no matter what opinions you may have on the current controversy surrounding the design of these cups, there’s no denying the return of the red marks an important time of year for Starbucks lovers.

Instead of arguing over petty differences, let us celebrate this momentous occasion with 24 thoughts we all have when Starbucks starts distributing red cups.

1. OMG SO PRETTY!

2. Is this Insta-worthy?

3. This means the holidays are so close!

4. I get to see my dog soon!

5. Starbucks Red Cups > Red Solo Cups.

6. HOLIDAY. DRINKS. ARE. OUT.

7. Ugh, this makes my drink decision so much more difficult.

8. Someone needs to decide on a drink for me because I want them all.

9. Oh, does it really matter? It’s about the cup – not the actual drink.

10. Does this mean it’s finally acceptable to listen to Christmas music?

11. Normally, I would be miserable writing this paper, but I’m actually enjoying it with this gingerbread latte by my side.

12. Just kidding… this sucks.

13. I just want to throw on a big sweater and fuzzy socks and watch Justin Bieber’s “Under The Mistletoe” music video.

14. Obviously with another coffee.

15. Does an eggnog latte even count as coffee?

16. Does this mean it’s going to start snowing?

17. I’m not emotionally prepared for this.

18. Walks to class will be prettier…

19. And I can Instagram my Starbucks red cup with a scenic winter background.

20. I should probably make a new Instagram just for red cups.

21. Maybe Starbucks will hire me!

22. My title would be: Starbucks Red Cup Ambassador.

23. I could be one of those teenage millionaires who drops out of college and runs this really cool trendy business.

24. No, my parents would kill me… and then who would fund my Starbucks addiction?
