The Best Food to Get at Starbucks
Big Island Now

We all know that Starbucks is one of the most popular corporate chains in America. Everyone and their cousin has a favorite go-to caffeinated beverage. However, while Starbucks is definitely known for their drinks, their food is also pretty legendary. Here is my definitive list of all the best treats at Starbucks, so you can have your (coffee) cake and eat it, too. (By the way, I'm not sponsored by Starbucks, but if they offered, I would happily oblige)

10. The Bacon, Gouda & Egg Sandwich

The best sandwich Starbucks has to offer by far. The bacon is always crispy, the egg is always fluffy and the gouda finishes it off perfectly. Also, the bread used is so delicious and thick and everything bread should be. This sandwich is a 10/10.

9. Double-Smoked Bacon Cheddar & Egg Sandwich

Another amazing Starbucks sandwich of a similar merit. However, the crust for this sandwich is a CROISSANT. That’s right. In addition to delicious bacon, cheese, and egg, there is also the perfect hug from a crispy sweet croissant.

8. Dark Chocolate and Caramelized Banana Oatmeal

All of the Starbucks oatmeals are delicious and not even close to bland old people oatmeal. These little warm bowls of sweet oats come with all the toppings so you can choose what to add and what to leave out. The Dark Chocolate Caramelized Banana oatmeal is so delicious, however, that you definitely won’t even consider getting rid of any part of it.

7. Bagel

All of Starbucks’ bagels are fan-freakin-tastic. You simply cannot go wrong when deciding between plain or everything or multigrain. Also, finish it off with some of the cream cheese and you’re good to go.

6. Butter Croissant/ Chocolate Croissant

Just like with the bagels, Starbucks’ croissants are phenomenal. Warmed up or not, these flaky, buttery, delicious masterpieces are a taste explosion in your mouth. I honestly have traveled to Starbucks on multiple occasions just to eat a croissant.

5. Cake Pops

What is an article about the food of Starbucks without a reference to their cake pops? Of course, they are delicious no matter the flavor. However, they definitely could be bigger. Or they could just be full cakes. Maybe that’s to come? I sure hope so.

4. Michigan Cherry Oat Bar

After trying this I was shocked there wasn’t some angelic old lady baking in the back. This bar tastes like something your grandma would make. It’s got fruit so you can pretend it’s good for you, plus, it’s got oats and a delicious brown sugar crust. So healthy...but not.

3. Iced Lemon Pound Cake

Hands-down one of my favorite treats- this loaf of soft, tangy bread is a necessity. I can’t remember my life without it and I honestly don’t want to. If you have yet to try one of these, do yourself a favor and order one ASAP. The light bread mixed with a heavier icing finish combine for a taste explosion.

2. Marshmallow Dream Bar

For all my gluten-free homies out there and really just any fan of a Rice Krispie treat. Somehow, Starbucks does it better. The marshmallow is so marshmallow-y and the treat is thicker and sweeter than the typical Rice Krispie. And as opposed to Rice Krispies, they are actually gluten free!

1. Apple Fritter

Arguabley the greatest Starbucks treat and maybe just best baked good ever. You wouldn’t expect it, but once this baby is heated up, it becomes the most magically delicious warm apple delight. Also, it’s about the size of your head, so the yumminess goes on and on.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
