Starbucks Lets You Color Coffee Cups

Starbucks is like that one relative that ends up talking politics, intentional or not.

Starbucks Lets You Color Coffee Cups

I find them everywhere, these new Starbucks cups. They pop up in my Snapstories, Facebook feed, or topping an overflow of garbage in a public trash bin, so the new designs on these cups have been on the mind, whether I want them to or not. Truth be told, I really like these new designs. They remind me of one of those adult coloring books to relieve stress. In fact, Starbucks made them this way so you could color them in.

However, not everyone is a fan of the Starbucks holiday cups. Turns out the disposable entity that carries your coffee temporarily is causing a controversy reminiscent of the red Christmas cup issue they ran into two years ago, only this time no one is asking about the lack of 'Merry Christmas.'

To promote their holiday cup, Starbucks released a video that featured two women holding hands which to some viewers revealed that the company was trying to push a gay agenda, with this point only emphasized through the gender neutral hands that you can color in.

Reactions were mixed. Some grew eager to grab a hearty, gay cup of joe at Starbucks, markers in tow, while others were offended that Starbucks was pushing an uncomfortably liberal agenda (and they say liberals get offended by everything) These feelings were expressed (quite humorously, I might add) on Twitter for the last three weeks.


So, what you guys think? Worth talking about or bigger fish to fry?

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.
