6 Reasons Why We LOVE Starbucks
Costa Rica Gringo
  1. Lets be honest, Starbucks has grown into a huge phenomenon in today's society. We have all heard of the brilliant frappucinos, teas, and lattes that they offer. The Coffee Houses that we know of today were redefined by the Starbucks craze that has been on the rise over the past years. We know that we have all tried Starbucks at some point and there's a couple reasons why we continually drown Starbucks with our love and money...


1. It is modeled after REAL Italian Coffee Houses

As stated in Starbuck's history, In 1983, a decade after Starbucks began in Seattle, Howard Shultz (One of the original founders) took a trip to Italy and was inspired by the amazing coffee houses. He then pitched the idea, and revamped to what we know as Starbucks today.


2. Over 87,000 drink combinations

Starbucks has no problem creating new items, they recently added the mini frappuccino, cookie straws, plus many new flavors every month. There are plenty of combinations to try ranging from just a simple pump of vanilla, raspberry, and sugar to ordering straight off the menu. I would love to meet the individuals who actually counted the number of possible combinations


3. They are the Subway of coffee

We have all heard the order that goes something like "Double Ristretto Venti Nonfat Organic Chocolate Brownie Frappuccino" and they do not question your order, they just write hieroglyphs on the cup and then it comes out in 2-3 minutes. Just like Subway, they make it the way that you want it.


4. They are already everywhere

Starbucks currently has around 22,000 stores worldwide as of March 12, 2015. They are without a doubt the largest Coffee House franchise in the world and they continue to expand. It is said that eventually Starbucks will intend to be in every country in the near future.


5. "Oh it's on the secret menu."

We've all had that snobby moment where we've ordered a Cookies and Cream frappuccino, or a Butterbeer Frappuccino, and have been asked the question "Where did you learn how to do this?" And of course we have replied with "It's on the secret menu that you can find online."


6. Gold Card Members have special treatment.

Lets face it, Gold Card Members are awesome... They have their own gold card, with their name on it. When Starbucks Baristas see it, they have an extra sense of happiness when they take your order. With a free drink of their choice on their birthday with many other benefits, Gold Card members rule the Starbuck's kingdom, and they know it.



But let's face it, Starbucks will always be delicious and we will continually love it. They have a good product, good franchise, and a good concept. Starbucks is doing business right!

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.
