8 Starbucks Drinks You Haven't Been Ordering But Should
The CW

You might be a Starbucks regular, and the best part of your day is asking for “my usual" as the barista starts writing your name without even asking. That said, mixing it up every now and then is fun too and often totally worth it. Drink up!

1. The Double Dirty Chai

Chai + 2 Shots Espresso + Steamed Milk

Other than just being fun to say, it's ideal for the caffeine addicts or Americano regulars looking for a sweeter, creamier treat.

2. The Affogato

Vanilla Ice Cream + Espresso

The two best things in the world come together under one very cool, very Italian drink name. If your local Starbucks doesn't serve this, not to worry. You can ask for a vanilla bean frapp with one to two shots of espresso poured on top (as opposed to blended in), or get two shots of espresso to go and book it to a nearby ice cream shop for a DIY version.

3. The London Fog

Vanilla + Earl Grey Tea + Steamed Milk

If you're a Starbucks regular who's not coffee's #1 fan and/or you love all things British, this might just be the drink for you. Long live the Queen.

4. The Wide Eye (aka: Red Eye)

Coffee of the Day + Shot(s) of Espresso

Beware. This jarring, caffeine-packed drink is not for coffee beginners or the faint of heart. However, it's guaranteed to get you through even the worst Mondays.

5. Raspberry Green Tea Frappuccino

Green Tea Frapp + Raspberry Syrup

The perfect summer treat, this frapp is equal parts fresh and creamy-sweet.

6. The Undertow

Vanilla (or syrup or your choice) + Milk + Espresso

The undertow is more than a drink, it's an experience. Meant to be taken down in one gulp, you're first hit with the intense, hot, and bitter espresso. Then the milk kicks in to cool your mouth off, and it's finished with the sweet syrup to curb that bitter after taste. This flavor-texture-temperature mash up is truly a God-send.

7. The Poor Man's Mocha (aka: Cafe au lait, add chocolate)

Chocolate + Coffee of the Day + Steamed Milk

As creamy and chocolatey as your favorite mocha but usually much, much cheaper. Great for days when t-shirt links come out and/or you're obsessing over buying things for your perfect little.

8. The Black & White (aka: Zebra, Tuxedo)

Chocolate + White Chocolate + Espresso + Steamed Milk

Can't decide between a white mocha and a normal mocha? Duh, get them both! Treat yo' self.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
