An Open Letter To The Unicorn Frappuccino

Thank you, Starbucks, for ruining my tastebuds.

Dear Starbucks,

My love for you will never fade, however, the creation and hype of some of your most recent beverages make me question how dedicated you are to our relationship. Your beverages should make me feel warm and fuzzy inside when I take a sip, but instead, the sight of your newest release makes me cringe. Although the thought of the newly infamous unicorn frap nauseated me, I decided to give it a try anyway. I mean you know what they say....you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. The taste I can only compare to spoiled milk mixed with a sour patch kid didn't exactly agree with me. The pink and blue came back up almost immediately if you're picking up what I'm putting down... That first sip literally proved my point: you can, in fact, judge a book by its cover.

Pop culture has recently become re-infatuated with a mythological one-horned beast: the unicorn. First, it was the unicorn nail polish trend. Next, girls started dying their hair pastel colors and referring to themselves as unicorns. Now, not only has Starbucks poisoned my taste buds with their newest sour creation, but even Tarte, the high-end cosmetics company, jumped on the elementary bandwagon by releasing a line of unicorn makeup brushes. Honestly, I feel personally victimized by the CEO's that are allowing this tomfoolery to take place.

Now, let's set the record straight. I have nothing against unicorns. Honestly, I find them adorable and majestic. However, as much as I admire the majestic creatures, I would never want to turn myself into one, nor consume one in the form of a venti frap. Truth be told, I wouldn't be so shook about this if it actually tasted as advertised. However, after I was told by a barista that it would taste like an orange creamsicle, you can imagine my surprise when I felt like I was consuming vomit in a cup. So, Starbucks, please stop trying to be mainstream because clearly, you've failed. You guys have thrived off of being hipster granola for the past 45 years, so do us all a favor and stay in your lane.

Sincerely,

An angry and nauseated Starbucks regular

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
