And we've been waiting all year long!

Starbucks Red Cups Are Here!
Lizzie Tesch

I don't know about you, but this week I feel like I need a distraction from the constant stress going on around me. Something else to focus on and remind me that Christmas is just around the corner. Well, per usual, Starbucks is helping me out in that department, and I couldn't be more excited.

In case you live under a rock, I'm here to remind you that red cup season has started at Starbucks, bringing some red cups into our lives once again. After a week of seeing green, which probably could have gone over better, the holidays are officially here along with 13 new designs created by Starbucks customers from six countries.

For years, everyone's been getting excited about the colored cups, which usually include some sort of Christmas or holiday design. Last year, the elimination of the design led to some backlash, though. Some suggested that the plain red cups means Starbucks was against the holiday season, while others complained about the lack of winter, and some a lack of creativity. A few, however, myself included, loved the plain red design. As far as I'm concerned, it's not about what's on the cup as much as what's in it anyway. And with Peppermint Mochas back in our lives, what really do we have to complain about?

This year, however, Starbucks went all out, premiering the 13 different designs that are each unique in their own way. Some feature reminders of Christmas, while others are simply reminiscent of winter, but one thing has remained the same: they're red, and they're filled with delicious holiday beverages.

Take a look at some of the designs below and try to pick a favorite! I haven't been able to thus far, but I'm hoping to get my hands on one of each before the holiday season comes to an end, just so I can get the full Starbucks Holiday Experience.

Simple white snowflakes make everything better, even if they won't be actually falling from the sky for a few more weeks!

Who doesn't love a red reindeer to brighten up their holiday cup?

There's something about this design that I loved. It's big, it's bold, and it's different!

For anyone who's a huge fan of all things candy cane, this cup is for you!

Simple holly berries remind me of Christmases long ago!

This cup, filled with ornaments, gets me more than a little excited for decorating my apartment.


Although, this one reminds me that I'll have to probably untangle the Christmas lights that I threw in the box last year.

This was the first Starbucks Red Cup I got this year and isn't it adorable?

This one just reminds me of the perfect Christmas sweater, all warm and comfy and right.

And the simplicity of this one weaves in spectacularly with the intricate design, bringing balance to the little red cup.

Holiday cups at Starbucks will be available throughout the remainder of the holiday season, so go out there and get yourself a red cup to help kick off the 2016 Holiday Season!

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.
