Starbucks has lots of fun new drinks on the menu this summer like the S'mores Frappuccino and Guava Passionfruit drink. But there's lots more fun drinks you can order that aren't on the menu. Here's some of my creations that are sure to brighten your day! All the recipes below are for grande drinks.

1. Strawberry Shortcake Frappuccino

I created this one a few weeks ago when a coworker said they were craving strawberry shortcake. Man did this hit the spot!

Order a Grande Strawberries and Creme Frappuccino with:

No Classic Syrup

2 Scoops of Vanilla Bean Powder

Graham Cracker Topping

1 Pump of Hazelnut Syrup

2. Leprechaun Frappuccino

This one a coworker of mine brainstormed while craving a Shamrock Shake from McDonald's.

Order a Grande Matcha Frappuccino with:

2 Pumps of Peppermint

3 Scoops of Java Chips

Cookie Crumble Topping

3. Cold Brew with Chocolate Strawberry Cold Foam

My store came up with this drink for Valentine's Day. Order this as a Nitro Cold Brew for an extra caffeine kick.

Order a Grande Cold Brew with:

Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam

A Splash of Strawberry Puree and 2 Pumps of Mocha (in the Cold Foam)

4. Iced Hazelnut White Mocha

This drink is one of my personal favorites. It's a great mid-day caffeine pick-me-up.

Order a Grande Blonde Iced White Chocolate Mocha with:

Only 2 Pumps of White Mocha

2 Pumps of Hazelnut

Coconut Milk

Light Ice

5. Peach Pie Frappuccino

I made this drink once when I had a craving for peach pie. Although it's not quite the same as a fresh slice of homemade peach pie, it was delicious!

Order a Grande Vanilla Bean Creme Frappuccino with:

Peach Infusion to the bottom ridge on the cup

Coconut Milk

Graham Cracker Topping

6. Pokemon Go Frappuccino

So this drink used to be on the menu but there's no longer a button for people to be able to order it. I really enjoyed the drink and Starbucks still carries everything to make it, so here's how you can enjoy it.

Order a Grande Vanilla Bean Creme Frappuccino with:

3 Pumps of Raspberry Syrup

2 Scoops of Freeze Dried Blackberries

7. Raspberry Mocha

This drink is super simple and delicious hot or iced.

Order a Grande Mocha (Hot or Iced) with:

4 Pumps of Raspberry Syrup

8. Cinnamon Roll Frappuccino

There's many different versions of this one on the internet, but of all the variations of it this is the one I liked the most. Not sure who first came up with this recipe but I am IN LOVE with it.

Order a Grande Vanilla Bean Creme Frappuccino with:

2 Pumps of Cinnamon Dolce Syrup

2 Pumps of White Mocha Sauce

Extra Caramel Drizzle (inside the cup and on top)

Extra Cinnamon Dolce Topping

9. Fruity Pink Drink

No this isn't the famous Pink Drink made with Strawberry Acai. But this Pink Drink is just as delicious, if not more delicious, as the original

Order a Grande Iced Passion Tea with:

No Liquid Cane Sugar

No Water Sub Coconut Milk

Raspberry Syrup

Freeze Dried Blackberry Pieces

10. Snicker-doodle Latte

Snicker-Doodles are my favorite cookies. This warm latte reminds me of those cookies.

Order a Grande White Chocolate Mocha with:

Only 2 Pumps of White Mocha

2 Pumps of Cinnamon Dolce Syrup

Caramel Drizzle

Extra Cinnamon Dolce Topping

I hope these drinks help you enjoy something a little extra special this summer.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

6. When you have a perfectly planned out schedule, and one class ruins it.

7. Carefully moving things around to accommodate a different class/section.

8. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. for your enrollment time.

9. Concocting a new schedule at your enrollment time after your original plan gets changed.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

What are the benefits of raising the minimum wage?

What are the states that have set a $15/hour minimum wage?

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
