Need something to get you through the eight-hour shifts of summer? Or even just need a pick-me-up for when you cram your days full of fun? Here are your ultimate summer drinks that you need to try before you go back to your same drink order that you've had the previous eight days in a row now.

1. Cool Lime Refresher with pineapple infusion and 2 scoops of lime slices

Alright. Sounds complicated, I know, but for sure delicious. Keeps you energized while feeling fresh and fruity. Imagine being on the beaches of Hawaii, take a sip of this, and its sitting in your mouth.

2. Cold Foam Cascara Cold Brew with light ice and vanilla

One of my staple drinks that I pick up on my way to work at 5:00 in the morning. Just enough to keep me going without the super strong taste of a cold brew.

3. Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte

Something for the matcha lovers out there, or the Starbucks addicts that need something different than coffee. Don't be fooled, this drink still has sugar, but matcha has many health benefits like boosting your metabolism, calming the mind and body, and enhances your mood! This is the perfect after-workout drink.

4. Passion Tango Tea + pineapple with strawberry juice and two scoops of blackberry

With the little bit of sparking water included in this, it makes the perfect light, fruity drink that a lot of people don't know about! Much like the refresher mentioned above, this is the drink for a hot day by the water, or a nice cool down drink to sip on when you are in the car.

5. Horchata Almondmilk Crème Frappuccino

Looking for something on the sweeter side? Here it is! You have your classic Horchata with a twist, iced down, blended up, and put into a cup! Creamy, sweet, and the perfect sipping drink for when you are catching up with a friend!

6. Iced Coconutmilk Mocha Macchiato

Another one of my absolute favorites. A nice spin on the original caramel macchiato that is usually my go-to, but why choose between a mocha and a macchiato, when you can have both? Nice coconut milk to sweeten things up a bit while still giving you that delicious flavor.

7. Dark Mocha Nitro Cold Brew with Nitro Milk

For all the dark chocolate lovers out there, this is what you have been waiting for. First, you score with the nitro cold brew, but you get the sweetness of chocolate too. A little bit like a deluxe mocha. Sip, sip, delish!

Simmer down and try out these fun, new and classic iced drinks – all brought to you by Starbucks! I have tried all of these drinks and they are certified, Danni Messina approved. Go get your drink on!

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.

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.
