Finals Week.


Yeah, it sucks. No sugar coating this one. You get out of bed everyday only to take a series of test that determine your fate in a given course... Ugh. Thankfully, God has given us the beautiful creation that is coffee.


So, here is a quick cheat sheet on the best caffeine-boosters that Starbucks has to offer. Good luck...

8. Carmel Macchiato

Caffeine Amount: 75mg - 150mg

Level of Bitterness: 5/10

Perhaps, on of the most popular drinks ordered at Starbucks, this coffee drink has a balanced flavor between sweet and bitter. The Caramel Macchiato consists of steamed milk with vanilla syrup, espresso, and a caramel drizzle. This drink is also an ideal subject to be iced!

7. Caffe Misto

Caffeine Amount: 75mg - 195mg

Level of Bitterness: 8/10


This drink can be considered the love-child of the Flat White and drip-brewed coffee. This "fancy" spin on espresso latte, like the Flat White, can be customized to any flavor!

6. Salted Carmel Mocha

Caffeine Amount: 90mg - 185mg

Level of Bitterness: 2/10


Sometimes the bitterness of coffee can get exhausting. Thankfully, this drink gives you caffeine, while keeping it light on the taste. I was pleasantly surprised to see this one on the lists! Make sure to drink this one slowly for the full impact instead of a sugar crash.

5. Flat White

Caffeine Amount: 130mg - 195mg

Level of Bitterness: 7/10


One of my personal favorites, the Flat White, much like a latte, gets the job done in a small dose while also allowing you some creative freedom with flavors! This drink contains lightly-foamed steamed milk, espresso, and a light layer of froth on top. Try it with caramel syrup or the seasonal Holiday Spice style!

4. Latte Macchiato

Caffeine Amount: 150mg - 225mg

Level of Bitterness: 7.5/10


A fairly new drink on Starbuck's menu, the Latte Macchiato puts a fancier twist on a latte with espresso shots are poured over a layer of steamed milk. Yumm... Feel free to customize with a shot of vanilla or even mocha!

3. Caffè Americano

Caffeine Amount: 75mg - 300mg

Level of Bitterness: 10/10


Prepare to This drink is at least 1 shot of espresso with hot water. This obviously has a strong taste with it. So, if you're not a fan of bitter coffee, add a splash of half-&-half to soften the blow.

2. "The Caffeinator" by Solomon Gerges

Caffeine Amount: 375mg

Level of Bitterness: 9/10


This beautiful concoction was created by ACU's one and only, Solomon Gerges. This drinks consists of a venti soy milk with 5 shots of espresso. Better drink this one slowly..

1. Black Coffee

Caffeine Amount: 130mg - 475mg

Level of Bitterness: 10/10


Black coffee, while it is sometimes hard to take the bitterness, definitely gets the job done without the calories and crash of sugar. But if you want to lighten the load, you are allowed to had a splash of cream and sugar, or ask for a pump of your favorite syrup. Or try the cold brew!

Well, there you have it. The 8 best drinks to get you through Finals Week. Now, study hard, drink buckets of coffee, and remember this:

Your soft, warm bed awaits you at the end of the week.

Hang in there! And good luck!

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.
