I'm Pissed Off At Starbucks New Cups, Because I'm Making A Difference

They hate Jesus. Plain and simple.

I'm Pissed Off At Starbucks New Cups, Because I'm Making A Difference

wStarbucks clearly hates Christmas. And Jesus. And fun. And probably freedom. Have you seen their new cups? They're GREEN! What is that? Where's the pictures of Christmas trees, or presents, or I don't know, Jesus? Starbucks clearly needs to be a Christian company since obviously Christianity is the only way. Their cups are green too! Where did the red go?


Starbucks says this design is a "mosaic of more than a hundred people drawn in one continuous stroke."

Apparently Howard Shultz, the CEO of Starbucks, wants to "celebrate community." Apparently he said, “During a divisive time in our country, Starbucks wanted to create a symbol of unity as a reminder of our shared values, and the need to be good to each other."

Why are we celebrating community? Shouldn't we be celebrating Jesus? That's what the holiday season is all about, right? We don't like giving, or coming together for the holidays, we simply celebrate Jesus, and that's all we're allowed to celebrate.

And look at the outrage on Twitter!




Like, what the heck Starbucks? This isn't cool.



Oh wait. These cups were meant for the Presidential election, since we seem to be more divided than ever, and these are actually the new holiday cups? I was getting upset at a cup that was meant to promote unity?


Well, ok. The green cups are fine, but I'm still going to mad about these cups instead of being mad about any real issue in the world, because obviously that's going to make a real change in the world.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
