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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
