Your Guide To A Summer of Starbucks

Your Guide To A Summer of Starbucks
Starbucks

Since the coffee bean is my birthstone I am more than qualified to report on the newest and most delicious Starbucks drinks of the summer. (You can check my gold status-- member since 2013, I know I'm a big deal.) Starbucks has rolled out a new tea, a new cold brew, a new way to drink a Frappucino and even a sunset menu. I know it's already the end of July, but there's still plenty of time to try out all of the new drinks once (or maybe a few times... I spend too much money on coffee...Help) Here'e your guide to the newest drinks!

Teavana Shaken Berry Sangria Herbal Tea

Did someone say sangria??? This new shaken iced tea has fresh brewed passion tango tea mixed with apple juice, hand shaken with juicy berry flavors and then topped with blackberries and orange slices. It's both sweet and tart and a refreshing twist on iced tea!

Iced Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato

Say that 5 times fast... With Chilled Sumatran Coconut Milk, white chocolate mocha, Espresso Roast, caramel drizzle and a swirl of mocha to create five layers of espresso and summer in a sweet iced coffee. Can you say yum??

Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew

I've had this one so many times this summer I think it's in my blood stream now. But seriously, holy delicious! Cold Brew coffee has a distinct taste because it's brewed with cold water rather than hot water. This combination is both sweet and bitter and a must try.

Affogato Style Frap's

So this is kind of weird but oddly exciting. If you order a Frap you can now have the option to have a shot of espresso poured over the top of it. I can't decide of this would be good or not, but if you're feeling your adventurous side, a must try!

Sunset Menu

This one is probably the best out of the lot. Starting at 3:00 PM, granitas and trifles are available. I'm talking shaved ice with espresso or white tea or lemonade. WHAT?? Options include Caramel Espresso Granita, Youthberry White Tea Granita and Strawberry Lemon Limeade Granita. Yum! Trifles are hand prepared with layers upon layers of whipped cream and drizzle, with a choice between Chocolate Brownie or Strawberry Shortcake.

But seriously, Starbucks is killin' it at the game this summer. I don't know about you but I may need to pick up a third job just to pay for my multiple coffee stops during the day...

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.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
