Like most people, I am IN LOVE with Starbucks. The food, the drinks, the ambiance, the REWARDS! But unlike the majority of my peers, I don't drink coffee or even caffeine for the matter.

At first, it was difficult. No lattes, macchiatos, refreshers, cold brews, the list goes on and on AND ON! So I was forced to look into the menu and found drinks to order for every mood which contains ZERO caffeine! Here are three Starbucks drinks you NEED to order if you are looking for that caffeine-free option.

1. Iced Passion Teas

The Passion Tea and Passion Tea Lemonade are incredible caffeine-free options!

Pro Tip: Add in strawberry puree for an extra element of sweetness.

2. Creme Frappuccinos

Hello Magtazine

While Starbucks has Frappuccinos with coffee added, they have a few without. Check out the Pumpkin Spice, Chocolate Cookie Crumble, Caramel Ribbon Crunch, Strawberry, Double Chocolatey Chip, Vanilla Bean, AND White Chocolate flavors!

Pro Tip: Customize your flavor by changing the sauces, syrups, and types of milk in your Frappuccino.

You can also blend in banana if your heart desires.

3. Blended Strawberry Lemonade

This is the perfect mixture between a refresher and Frappuccino. PLUS, it doesn't have any caffeine!

Pro Tip: You can blend in dried fruit or a variety of juices (apple, guava blend, peach blend).

4. Steamed Milk aka "Steamers"

I'll be honest, my initial thought was ... EW. However, this is basically any latte, just without the espresso.

You can personalize this to your own taste, changing the milk, sauces/syrups, and toppings ... ultimately creating the perfect hot beverage!

Pro Tip: Get in the fall mood and add 1-3 pumps of Pumpkin Sauce, nutmeg, cinnamon, and 1-2 pumps of classic syrup for a caffeine-free PSL.

5. Steamed Apple Juice

Either try the basic steamed apple juice or caramel apple spice drinks for the PERFECT Fall drink!

Pro Tip: If you want a mock apple cider, add cinnamon and nutmeg to the basic steamed apple juice.

6. Hot Herbal Teas

Starbucks continues to change its menu when it comes to hot caffeine-free teas.

But the Mint Majesty and Peach Tranquility have been lasting favorites!

Pro Tip: The hot teas are ... HOT! Ask for your tea in a larger cup size with a tall cup of ice on the side. This will help you to make it room temperature while also enjoy the full cup of tea.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
