A Satirical Take On The Unicorn Frappucino
Starbucks Melody

By now, you're probably tired of the hundreds of articles written about the short-lived Unicorn Frappucino from Starbucks - especially the taste-test opinion-pieces, so instead of reading a drawn out explanation of the "three Snickers bars' worth" of sugar a literal sugary treat drink has, here are some pros and cons of the now extinct blue-pink drink.

Pro: You get to share stylish, insta-worthy pics of your frap.

Pink, blue, purple, whipped cream, and "magic sugar dust" on top? #Aesthetic, am I right?

Con: You and literally thousands of other people have the same "hot shot" pic on your timeline.

No, no - I'm sure your angled shot of the Unicorn frap looks way better than your friend's. Definitely.

Pro: You'll get a jolt of sugar-fueled energy with just a few sips.

A few seconds after the cool rush of a mild brain freeze wears off, you'll start to feel that wonderful sugar high. Love them sugar highs!

Con: That sugar crash is a cold-hearted b.

"What do you mean you didn't want a pounding headache? I totally thought you did." - your frap

Pro: You have some in-the-know knowledge about a hot-topic conversation item.

"Oh the Unicorn frap? Yeah I've heard of it!" *gets ready to gush about your love of it* "Oh you hated it? Yeah...so did I...totally!" Whoops.

Con: Nobody wants to hear about the Unicorn frap anymore.

Oh, you had the Unicorn frap? So did l i t e r a l l y everyone else.

Pro: You get to indulge in something that's only around for a limited time.

Four years from now when Facebook reminds you of a post On This Day, you'll get to look back fondly on your time with the Unicorn Frappucino and think: "wow, in the past four years, I've really never done anything as incredible as drink that magical drink!"

Con: If you really did enjoy the drink, you won't be able to get it again because it was a limited time offer.

You will have nightmares every time you go to Starbucks, watching your world crash before you as the "Unicorn Frappucino" sign on the menu with a big X over it saying "sorry, no more left" comes down. And then, you'll think of better days, like April 19th, 2017, when the Unicorn frap existed and all was right in the world.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
