A Definitive Ranking Of Each Holiday Drink At Starbucks

It's the most wonderful time of the year: holiday drink season! Every sip tastes like Christmas in a cup, and we are so here for it. Plus, the cups are so merry!

Holiday drinks are substantially better than pumpkin spice and no one can change my mind.

1. Caramel Brûlée Latte 

Espresso, steamed milk, and caramel brûlée sauce topped with whip cream and bits of caramel.

2. Peppermint Mocha 

Honestly, the peppermint mocha and caramel brûlée latte are tied for first. These are my two favorite holiday drinks; I order them on rotation. The best part of this drink is definitely the chocolate curls on top.

You can also order the peppermint mocha as a frappucino, but who drinks cold drinks in the middle of winter?

3. Chestnut Praline Chai Latte 

During every season other than Christmas, chai tea is my go to drink. The chestnut praline chai latte adds a holiday twist that'll make you want to roast chestnuts over an open fire and maybe sing a Christmas carol or two.

4. Chestnut Praline Latte

Basically the same as the drink above, minus the spice and flavor of chai.

5. Holiday Spice Flat White 

In general, a flat white is a really good, simple drink, excluding all the "froofy" ingredients of the other holiday drinks. Simply a classic.

6. Gingerbread Latte

I love the mix of sweet and spice that comes with this drink, plus, the ground nutmeg on top is an added flavor bonus that really makes you feel warm and toasty on the inside.

7. Toasted White Chocolate Mocha 

This drink is a little too much on the sweet side for me, but also I'm not a supporter of traditional white chocolate mocha. Sorry not sorry.

8. Eggnog Latte

Eggnog for sure weirds me out, despite the fact that it is a holiday staple. Not a fan. Again, sorry not sorry.

Happy sipping!

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Letter To My High School Friend Group

The girls I will never forget.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
