Reasons Why You Starbucks Addiction Is Justified

The real reasons to love the coffee shop with a smirking mermaid.

Reasons Why You Starbucks Addiction Is Justified
Tati Marshall

I’ll be the first one to admit that I love Starbucks. Any chance I get, I’m going straight to the barista to get an Iced Venti Caramel Macchiato. (Take note — that’s my favorite order, if you ever want to know.) Everyone has their favorite coffee shop, a place where they can kick back and surf the internet and just feel like they’re at a home away from home. Every coffee shop is different, and each one has a niche that makes it equally as important the next one. And while some love running with Dunkin’, my heart belongs to smirking mermaid.

1. They’re Convenient.

If you haven’t noticed, there is literally a Starbucks everywhere. If you see a Dunkin', then Starbucks will soon follow. Just know you won’t have to look far to get a good latte.

2. Drive-Thrus

Most of us are too lazy to get out the car or are in a rush and don’t want to be boggled down to the idea of waiting in a long line to get a decent cup of cappuccino. If we don’t have to get out of the car then, mission accomplished. But I’m waiting for the day that Starbucks starts to deliver — that will forever change the basic girl image (plus we won’t have to get our UGGs dirty.)

3. Because Pumpkin Spice Lattes are everything

I’m a guilty party of getting a seasonal drink. Fall is always a season since usually the PSL comes back to the menu. Or a nice Peppermint Mocha when winter rolls around. You have to admit to getting a PSL at some point in the fall.

4. Instagram worthy pictures.

Yeah, the personalized name on the cup is cool, but you have to feel pretty hipster when you take a totally wicked pic of your homework (which is totally staged) and the iconic cup next to it. It's a sure-fire way to get a ton of likes on the 'gram. I know, I’m guilty of taking my school books out just to make it seem like I’m studying while drinking Starbucks instead of really watching Netflix.

5. The occasional extra whip never hurt anyone

I’ll be the first to deny that I have a sweet tooth when my mom and hygienist mention it. But I find a guilty pleasure in purchasing a frappe since the barista likes to put extra whip and then drizzle a lot of caramel syrup or chocolate syrup on top. The best part is if you get a peppermint mocha frappe then you get a lot of chocolate syrup, extra whip and peppermint chocolate shavings on top.

On that note, I’ll be making a trip to Starbucks now.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
