Here's The Tea About The Starbucks Secret Menu

It's not real.

I understand that Instagram and Pinterest have shown you a thousand recipes and there are dozens of accounts dedicated to giving you new recipes to try out the next time at your local cafe. They range from cereal flavored frappucinos to fix all teas that magically cure colds. A lot of these drinks are recipes baristas came up with for themselves that somehow got out and given a cutesy name. If you truly want to mix things up, just ask your barista!

We are an infinite resource of Starbucks ingredient knowledge and can help you find your new special drink. I'm sure they would be happy to get a little creative and try to come up with something for you. Just don't go telling your friends and the Internet about it and land us right back at square one.

Please do not order from it.

Most of the time your barista won't know what goes into your drink because it's not part of the menu we're required to know. I can't tell you how many times I've had to tell someone I couldn't make the drink they wanted because they ordered off the secret menu and I didn't know the recipe and they couldn't remember where they had seen it so they couldn't pull up the recipe for me. There will be that one saintly barista that spends their time learning recipes outside work but since the majority of us are hourly workers we don't typically spend out time working off the clock.

Pro-Tip: if you come in with the recipe in hand and ready to recite to us everything will be a lot easier on both our ends.

The end.

Sincerely,

A Starbucks Barista

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
