I Tried The Unicorn Frappuccino From Starbucks So You Don't Have To

There are two ways this could have panned out: it's disgusting or it's like drinking a rainbow.

Like everyone else on planet earth, I too was obsessed with the technicolor dream that is the limited edition Unicorn Frappuccino at Starbucks. The drink is described on the website as, "Magical flavors [that] start off sweet and fruity transforming to pleasantly sour." I mostly wanted to order one to understand what flavor that exactly translates to. Also, with the disappointment that was the pink drink in advertising versus real life, I needed to know if the real thing would hold up to the pink and purple swirly marketing campaign.

There are two ways this could have panned out: it's disgusting or it's like drinking a rainbow. So I set out to the trusty TroGro Starbucks on campus to find out.

The Verdict?

Guys, it tastes like a rainbow.

I don't know if it was the 20-minute line at Starbucks or the general expectation I had for it to be gross, but it was delicious. Granted, if you don't like sweets, you will despise this drink. But more importantly, if you're buying this drink expecting anything else, you're insane.

Flavor-wise it tastes like some ambiguous fruit that you can't quite pinpoint. The closest semblance to a description of the flavor is a strawberries and cream frappuccino at Starbucks but tart. The ingredients are technically mango and "blue," but don't expect it to taste anything like that.

And finally, for the look, I was not disappointed -- cue artsy pic of my drink in front of Leavey Fountain.

Catch one of these magical drinks at your local Starbucks through Sunday, April 23.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my 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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
