If you're like me and love Starbucks but don't want to break the bank every day it's hot this summer, don't sweat it (pun intended) because you can still indulge and cool down with these more simplistic drinks. Everything from Starbucks doesn't have to be fancy, dressed up, or expensive to be tasty!

1. Cinnamon Dolce Iced Coffee

This is a delicious twist on a simple old iced coffee. Just order your iced coffee how you normally would and add a few pumps of cinnamon dolce syrup. This syrup is already sweetened so you might not even need sugar with it. This is just like the cinnamon dolce latte...except it's just an iced coffee so it's cheaper. Bonus: they don't charge for flavored syrups so if you're not a fan of cinnamon, you can try another.


2. Green Tea Lemonade

Perfect for a hot and humid day! It doesn't cost an arm and a leg as it's just a unique version of an Arnold Palmer. The lemonade makes it tangy, but the green tea sweetens it up a little. It's a good option for when you want something cold, but aren't in the mood for coffee.

3. Cold Brew

I've just recently tried the cold brew and it's one of my new drinks. If you're a fan of stronger iced coffee, this is for you. It has a unique, smooth taste since it's brewed cold. It naturally has just the right amount of sweetness to it so you don't need to add sugar. If you want to add an extra splash of flavor, get it with the house-made vanilla sweet cream.

4. Very Berry Hibiscus

Ok, out of all these on the list this is probably my absolute favorite! It's my go-to in hot weather. It's sweet, but not overdone and the fresh black berry's make it seem way fancier than it is (in the best way possible).


5. Pink Drink

I really tried not to get on the bandwagon with this one because I was afraid it was just another random drink Starbucks was creating to hype themselves up (like the Unicorn frap...yuck), but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The coconut milk mixed with the strawberries is super refreshing. Before I tried it I was just basing it on the appearance so I thought it would have too much of a syrupy taste, but it was great, and compared to some of the other Starbucks drinks it's a healthier option.


Definitely try out these drinks if you haven't already. An added plus is that they're all relatively better for you than other options on the menu since they're not loaded with dairy and added sugar. Happy Starbucks-ing!

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.
