Is it really that magical?

Unicorn Frappuccino: The New Loved and Hated Drink
People Food

I know you've seen it... The pink and blue cotton candy looking drink flooding the internet one Instagram post at a time. Starbucks officially released their new "Unicorn Frappuccino" on April 19th. It is only available for a few days, as the fantasy drink officially leaves Starbucks locations on April 23rd. The drink, that contains no coffee at all, is said to have a mango and SweetTarts taste. But, as much as people love the drink, many people have also turned to the internet to show their disgust towards the coffee chain's new concoction.

First off, many people hate the taste of the new frappuccino. Customers find it very disappointing or just an overall unpleasant tasting drink. Not to mention that this drink is full of sugar, 72 grams to be exact.

Starbucks baristas also hate this new creation. Since this drink is more complex to make than your other average coffee drinks, you can see why baristas might let out a sigh when they get 13 orders of Unicorn fraps in a row. One barista even made a video of what seem to be a compilation of snapchat videos expressing his hate for the drink and telling people not to order it. You can even scroll through the Starbuck Reddit to see the tales of woe from baristas all over expressing their feelings about the new frappuccino.

As a Starbucks lover, I too tried to get the new, mystical drink. But, like many stores all over the country, they were already all sold out. So many people came in to get them that they didn't have any supplies left to keep the drink around until Sunday. However, I don't think the workers were too disappointed by that fact.

Pictures, tweets, and Snapchats still fill the internet regarding the Unicorn Frappuccino. The drink does looks aesthetically pleasing and has a nice look to add to you social media feed. It fits the "artsy" factor that most people look for when choosing photos to post online. Even my own university used the drink in a photo.

I guess I'll never know what this magic drink tastes like, but if this drink sparked up this much popularity, Starbuck might bring it back around. It definitely has increased Starbucks' popularity and internet users are basically giving them free advertising by posting about it. Pictures of the Unicorn Frappuccino are everywhere. But, maybe this drink will remain rare just like a unicorn. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
