Your Go-To Guide: The Starbucks Classics
Girlterest

As I sit here drinking my home-brewed coffee, I can’t help but daydream of the distinctive aroma that greets you as you enter your hometown Starbucks. Baked goods, chatting people and an array of delicious coffee beverages are all there to greet you at the door. While Starbucks has built quite the reputation for themselves among coffee-lovers of all ages, there may still be a novice out there who gets intimidated by the fast-paced world of trendy coffee shops. If you or someone you know is looking for a change in your morning caffeine routine, read below to gain some insight on the classics.

1. Regular Coffee

Featuring everything from a rich, dark roast to a lighter blend, Starbucks has some of everything on their coffee menu. Order a regular coffee, hot or iced, sweetened or unsweetened, with your choice of milk and be on your way with a delicious cup o’ Joe to go.

2. Classic Latte

Perhaps the most classic drink found in coffee shops today, the latte is a must-have at Starbucks. Whether you prefer to pump up the flavor with vanilla or hazelnut, or prefer an iced latte on the warmer days, the latte is one of the most versatile and delicious staples at Starbs.

3. Caramel Macchiato

My personal favorite, the caramel macchiato is the ideal drink for someone who wants something less strong than the usual cup of coffee. A shot or two of espresso, milk and caramel make this the perfect combo. Get this delicious treat, hot or iced, to sweeten up your day.

4. Mocha Frappuccino

If you are looking for something extra sweet and quite irresistible, look no further than the Mocha Frappuccino. Starbucks is known for their Frappuccino for good reason. This rich drink is composed of coffee, milk and chocolate blended together into the perfect drink on a warm summer day. Go ahead, treat yourself.

5. Pumpkin Spice Latte

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the holiday favorites. The Pumpkin Spice Latte is perhaps the most well known Starbucks drink. This sweet and spicy drink is the best way to welcome the cooler days of Fall. Look for them on Instagram feeds near you.

6. Peppermint Mocha Latte

And another equally as popular holiday drink would have to be the Peppermint Mocha. When the chilly days roll around and you are looking for the perfect compliment to a fresh batch of Christmas cookies, look no further. A Peppermint Mocha Latte will warm you up and have you humming carols by lunch.


These different coffee selections cover almost every coffee-drinker’s ideal order. Ask for an extra shot of espresso on the longer mornings or the newest arrival, almond milk, when you want to indulge in something a bit guilt-free. Remember to order a Tall, Grande or Venti (as is the proper Starbs lingo), and get ready to welcome the day!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
