Welcome back, Huskies!

After a beautiful summer, I have come to you with the perfect series recommendation. “The Summer I Turned Pretty” series was full of love, teen angst, and TikTok feuds over team ‘Jeremiah’ or team ‘Conrad’. Will Belly fall for the mysterious and rebellious Conrad? Will she hit close to home with Conrad’s brother, the fun and flirty Jeremiah? Or will a new romance spark for Belly during her summer at Cousins Beach? This series is also a show on Amazon Prime for those who love watching the drama.

I will not be solely reviewing on-campus drinks this semester; however, I am starting the semester off with an exciting release from Starbucks. The Iced Apple Crisp Oat Milk Macchiato reminded me just how close fall is, and I was thrilled when I experienced this treat. This drink blends crisp, autumn flavors with a creamy, smooth texture. The base is Starbucks chilled espresso combined with oat milk. Following this is the apple crisp syrup, which provides hints of cinnamon and caramelized apples, making it a perfect drink for fall. This beverage is topped with apple brown sugar sauce and a dash of spiced crumble topping, adding a satisfying crunch and extra sweetness.

If you want to reminisce about summer while celebrating the arrival of fall, get yourself an Iced Apple Crisp Oat Milk Macchiato and curl up to watch or read “The Summer I Turned Pretty.”

Have a phenomenal semester and tune in to upcoming editions to view my recommendations of local coffee shops and the perfect study spots on and off campus.
