This Is What Your Starbucks Holiday Drink Tells You About Your College Major

Because we all want a sarcastic description to tell us what holiday drink best fits our major us.

It is finally the holiday season, and college students are stressing out over what brings the beginning of this time of year... finals. If you're anything like me, you're probably procrastinating studying by drinking a Starbucks coffee and wishing you were someplace warm. But, since we can't even think about traveling until mid-December, we stay cozied up in the library trying to figure out what holiday coffee best describes our major, while also wondering if drinking that coffee will bring us any luck on finals (it probably won't, but a girl can dream).

1. Education. 

Peppermint Mocha

Congrats, you're a crowd favorite! Almost everyone buys one of these during the holidays, just like almost everyone at Longwood is an education major! Your students probably use this drink to replace you over winter break, but once January hits, they are tired of peppermint and want their sweet teacher back.

2. Math/Finance.


Holiday Christmas Blend Drip Coffee

You really can't mess up a drip coffee, but there is a right way to make it and a wrong way to make it. Same with math; there's only one right answer, and if you don't get it, you need to start all over...

3. Business/Economics.

Holiday Spice Flat White

You're probably super serious around this time of year, but let's be honest, you're serious 24/7. You don't like to make things too special, but you're willing to drink your signature espresso with a little holiday flair. But if anyone asks, you're drinking a boring espresso, no questions asked.

3. Psychology 

Gingerbread Latte

You're not fully sweet, but you sure do tell it as it is. Some people think you're kind of weird because they either don't like gingerbread or are afraid to try it, but once they do, they'll love you forever.

5. Biology/Chemistry.

Toasted White Chocolate Mocha

Wow, you're way too long and confusing to be a drink title, which is the exact way I feel about biology/chemistry. If I can't say it or pronounce it, I'm not drinking it. End of story. But, if you're one of those people who love this drink, more for you!

6. Communication Sciences and Disorders. 

Eggnog Latte

You're a lot more difficult for people to get on board with. You can either do it or you can't; There's no in between. Just like what all our professors tell us, you'll be very hard to like and get into, but once you do, it's smooth sailing from there (kinda).

7. Nursing. 

Chestnut Praline Latte

Well, you just sound complicated- and that's exactly what being a nursing major is like. If you don't have this drink made the correct way, you're screwed. This is the same if your a nurse treating a patient.

If you think your major and drink don't match up, tough cookies. Switch your major or learn to like your drink.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
