If you want to be more than the common basic chick that drinks her frappuccino while she types her blogs (guilty) have a sip of one of these brilliantly engineered secret menu drinks! Here are some scrumptious and unique drinks and EXACTLY how to order them!

1. Skittles Frappuccino

We all love a classic "taste the rainbow" kinda experience don't we? Well sipping on this will make you feel like you're on top of the rainbow itself with all of the fruity flavors exploding at once.

HOW TO MAKE:

Order strawberries and crème frappuccino

Ask for no classic syrup

Then ask them to add vanilla syrup (2 pumps tall, 3 pumps grande, 4 pumps venti)

Finally say to add raspberry syrup (½ pump tall, 1 pump grande, 1.5 pumps venti)

2. Butterbeer Frappuccino

Well to all of the Harry Potter fans out there I bet you can't contain yourselves because of this one for you guys!!! The only way I can think to describe this yummy treat is MAGICAL.

HOW TO MAKE:

First things first ask for a Creme Frappuccino base but you MUST use whole milk because if you don't the consistency will be wrong, wrong, wrong. So if you're on a diet I'm sorry but one day won't kill you.

Second, you tell them to add 3 pumps of caramel syrup

Then add 3 pumps of toffee nut syrup

Top it all off with a yummy caramel drizzle

To add a little extra UMPH to this drink go ahead and tell them to line the cup with caramel drizzle. It makes it more exciting!

3. The Pink Drink

Alright, I know what all you die-hard Starbucks fanatics are thinking.. and yes I'm aware. Okay Okay, the Starbucks pink drink has actually made the cut for the real menu itself. However, I have met multiple handfuls of people who love the classic Starbucks strawberry refresher but have never ever heard of this 2.0 twist.

HOW TO MAKE:

Considering this is now a menu item itself all you have to do is ask for a Pink Drink. (I recommend a trenta but I'm just obsessed so.)

However aside from just ordering the pink drink itself, I feel obligated to inform you all more. Basically, The Pink Drink is a strawberry acai refresher ( "Sweet strawberry flavors are accented by passion fruit & acai notes and lightly caffeinated with green coffee extract. to put it in Starbucks terms click here to view all info) made with coconut milk! It honestly the perfect drink just to sip by the pool or on the couch. Truly a brilliantly engineered beverage.

4. Cap'n Crunch Frappuccino

We all love to reminisce about the days of our childhood, well I pulled this bad boy out for this exact reason. Rewind to your mornings in your childhood home with every sip of this yummy twist on one of your favorite childhood breakfast cereals.

HOW TO MAKE:

Tell the barista you would like a Strawberries & Creme Frappuccino
add a pump of caramel syrup
plus 1 pump of hazelnut syrup
also, add 1 pump of toffee Syrup
lastly, add java chips (this part is optional but will give a nice crunch)

5. Nutella Frappuccino

Ahhhh the past few years have been wonderful times haven't they? Especially since more than half of the world became Nutellaholics. Seriously every restaurant had a spin on their products to introduce Nutella to their menu. Well I'm bringing back the wonderful memories of the days when an entire rave would breakout if the word Nutella was brought up with this crazy good Nutella Frappuccino (I couldn't leave this list without having some type of chocolate/hazelnut drink.)

HOW TO MAKE:

Ask your barista for a Coffee Frappuccino

Then add two pumps of mocha syrup

followed by one pump of hazelnut syrup, and blend in whipped cream

Top all of this yummy stuff with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. (get caramel drizzle for an interesting twist.)

WELL THERE YOU HAVE IT!

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!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

1. The importance of traditions.

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.
