I Tried The Unicorn Frappuccino From Starbucks So You Don't Have To

There are two ways this could have panned out: it's disgusting or it's like drinking a rainbow.

Starbucks

Like everyone else on planet earth, I too was obsessed with the technicolor dream that is the limited edition Unicorn Frappuccino at Starbucks. The drink is described on the website as, "Magical flavors [that] start off sweet and fruity transforming to pleasantly sour." I mostly wanted to order one to understand what flavor that exactly translates to. Also, with the disappointment that was the pink drink in advertising versus real life, I needed to know if the real thing would hold up to the pink and purple swirly marketing campaign.

There are two ways this could have panned out: it's disgusting or it's like drinking a rainbow. So I set out to the trusty TroGro Starbucks on campus to find out.

The Verdict?

Guys, it tastes like a rainbow.

I don't know if it was the 20-minute line at Starbucks or the general expectation I had for it to be gross, but it was delicious. Granted, if you don't like sweets, you will despise this drink. But more importantly, if you're buying this drink expecting anything else, you're insane.

Flavor-wise it tastes like some ambiguous fruit that you can't quite pinpoint. The closest semblance to a description of the flavor is a strawberries and cream frappuccino at Starbucks but tart. The ingredients are technically mango and "blue," but don't expect it to taste anything like that.

And finally, for the look, I was not disappointed -- cue artsy pic of my drink in front of Leavey Fountain.

Catch one of these magical drinks at your local Starbucks through Sunday, April 23.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
