What Your Starbucks Order Says About You

I am not a psychologist, but I’d like to think that my many hours of people watching in Starbucks while I procrastinate on my homework has made me pretty good at analyzing people. Let me break the menu down and tell you who orders what... according to my studies.

"Large" Hot Coffee

Oh you mean a Venti? Did you want Blonde Roast? Dark Roast? Pike Place Roast? COME ON!

This is most likely a business man who works long hours and would prefer caffeine through an IV, but settles for stopping at any coffee place he sees on his morning commute. He probably ordered while on a business call, or checking his email.

Venti-Non-Fat-Caramel-blah-blah-blah

This is ordered by your typical "white girl." She is probably a regular and is probably rolling her eyes at the long line of people in front of her, who don’t know what they are ordering. She already has her “Gold Member” rewards card open on her iPhone before she even gets to the front of the line and brought her own Starbucks travel tumbler.

Iced Green Tea or Green Tea Latte

Ordered by a girl in her late 20s dressed in workout gear and probably just came from an early morning Bikram yoga, or a spin class. She is trying to keep it low calorie, while still getting enough caffeine to get herself to her next exercise class she has scheduled.



Strawberries & Creme Frappuccino

Most likely ordered in bulk by multiple middle-school aged kids who are finally allowed to walk around the strip mall without parental supervision after school. At almost 500 calories each, they are perfectly paired with a cookie or cake pop for even more of a sugar coma, which these pre-teens are looking for.


Triple Shot Espresso

This last drink is ordered by people like myself, trying to get the most caffeine into my body by paying the least amount of money. When you’re working on a deadline, but also on a budget like most college students, this drink is the go to.


And yes, I am sipping on a nice “trip-shot-espy” as I write this article.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
