3 Secret Starbuck Drinks You Have To Try

There's no better way to ring in summer than with a cold drink.

33

If you find yourself craving a cold drink this summer and a Starbucks is within reach, here are three "secret drinks" to order that you won't find on the regular menu:

1.The PINK Drink

This drink has been up and down Instagram and has quickly claimed the name of the new summer drink everyone must try. It's the strawberry açai refresher with coconut milk instead of water. Adding coconut milk will cost you about 60 cents more, but I promise it's worth it. This drink quickly became my favorite summer drink. It has a sweet taste, almost like liquid candy. That sounds disgusting, but I promise it's good. When I first tried it, I compared it to gummy candy and liquid happiness. It has just the right amount of sweetness, and everyone from my 10-year-old niece to my older manager has grown a love for this new pink drink. Due to its quick popularity, even Starbucks baristas are dying to try it. You can even switch out the frozen strawberries for blackberries—it tastes the same, it just makes your drink look different.

2. White Youthberry Granita

Last Tuesday, Starbucks came out with their sunset menu, and this drink is a big part of it. If you're a Starbucks fiend like I am and you literally eat, sleep and breathe Starbucks, you can get your sunset fix for $3 by showing your morning receipt. I'm not that fond of the Youthberry granita. It reminds me of a slushy you get from the ice cream truck—practically just ice with syrup on top. The taste was quite interesting; it tastes like an alcohol mixer, so I guess it's great. My reaction has been the only negative one so far, but it just reminds me of the slushies from the Mr. Softee ice cream truck. So close your eyes and sip and you'll imagine yourself on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean watching the sun set. If that's too tropical, you can kick back and imagine you're back in one of your childhood days.

3. Birthday Cake Frappuccino

Remember last year when Starbucks was celebrating their 20-year anniversary and they came out with this amazing new drink that was only out for a weekend? The birthday cake frappuccino—it tasted and looked like heaven with pink whipped cream and a wonderful indescribable taste. The birthday cake frappe was the one that got away until now. Here is how to order a birthday cake frappe at your Starbucks: Ask for a vanilla bean frappuccino with hazelnut, then ask for raspberry infused whip cream. Not every barista will be so happy about the raspberry infused whipped cream, but it tastes the same with or without the pink coloring. This is my favorite frappe because it tastes just like cake. If you haven't tried it try it now, I promise it's worth the extra work.

Next time you visit Starbucks give these cool drinks a try, and if you love them, try one in a "trenta."

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
