We Get It, You Don't Want People To Order The Unicorn Frappuccino

I can't have sympathy for you because you knew what you were signing up for.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably seen all of the hype about the new (and limited edition) Unicorn Frappucino that is a "color-changing, flavor-changing, sweet and pleasantly sour spectacle". There's currently a viral video going around made by a Starbucks barista who is telling customers not to order this drink because of how much work it takes to make it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a barista, so I couldn't possibly understand the work that goes into making a drink for tons of customers each day. However, just because a specific drink takes a lot more time/energy to make doesn't mean you tell people not to order it.

I'm not saying you can't complain about your job because I'm almost always complaining about mine, but your job, as a Starbucks barista, is to complete the order of a customer, no matter how easy or hard that order may be. When it was announced that this frappuccino was coming for a few days, you knew what was coming. You knew that everyone and their cousins would want this and it was hyped up by so many people.

I'm not saying being a Starbucks barista is easy because it probably isn't. I say probably because, like I mentioned earlier, I'm not a barista nor do I go to Starbucks often. Sure, a job like this could be difficult and demanding and not to mention stressful, but you get what you signed up for.

I'm sure making the drink is a total mess and I'm sure with the high demand of it, you've been stressed out trying to complete 20 orders for this color-changing drink within 10 minutes, but if you're the most stressed out you've ever been in your entire life because you had to make a crazy colored frappucino, your life must be pretty good. The video showed a job well done at expressing an exaggerated opinion, but I think this "rant" helped Starbucks sell more of this Unicorn Frappucino. Sure, it's probably tedious and time-consuming, but your job is to ultimately give the customers what they want. Without the customers, you wouldn't have a job.

Thankfully for Starbucks baristas, it was only limited edition.

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.
