4 Drinks That Are Just As Good As A Starbucks PSL

Let's face it. If you're a coffee or coffee shop lover, you were probably obsessed with Starbucks at some point in your life (for good reason). Their menu oftentimes feels endless and, in my experience, the baristas are always super pleasant. Pumpkin spice lattes have definitely become something that is associated with Starbucks. I love them. Thousands of other people love them too. However, PSLs seem to turn some people away from Starbucks. For those of you who aren't fans of this festive fall beverage, or want to switch it up, there are a few Starbucks drinks that are worth the try.

1. Caramel Frappuccino 

I don't know about you, but I can drink a cold drink in every season. Caramel Frappuccinos are a CLASSIC. The caramel is so rich and tastes like a dream. This drink is sure to put you in a happy mood!

2. Chai Tea Latte

This used to be my absolute favorite Starbucks drink. As a tea lover, chai tea lattes have the perfect mix of sweetness and spice! This drink is perfect at any time of the year--hot or iced. I think this drink will definitely put you in the fall mood if you get it hot!

3. Matcha Green Tea Latte

This drink is not for everyone. If you like matcha, you're going to be obsessed with this drink. Matcha is hard to describe. It's kind of an acquired taste (my mom tried my latte and said it tasted like grass). If you've never tried matcha, I'd totally recommend getting this drink in a tall size; just in case you're not the biggest fan. I've only had this drink iced, but I'm sure having it hot wouldn't be too bad!

4. A Regular Ole Cup of Coffee

Before I really got into coffee and the amazing flavors that Starbucks has to offer, I would occasionally order a regular coffee. Starbucks has a few types of coffee, and my favorite so far is Pike Place. It's a nice medium roast that I think many would enjoy. You don't have to be caught up in PSLs and Frappuccinos to go to Starbucks; a regular coffee is a great order too!

So when your best friend wants to take a trip to Starbucks this fall, don't feel pressured to get a fall drink. Try one of these delicious alternatives; you won't be disappointed!

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
