Definitely go to the Whitsundays, particularly Whitehaven beach if you have the chance. It even has a good taste of the reef

In Sydney, I'd definitely recommend just walking around downtown/the rocks one night, and I wouldn't feel the pressure to eat at any of the expensive places on the harbor- they're overrated. Definitely do the Coogee to Bondi coastal walk - there's a lot of cool places outside of downtown. Hunter valley and the blue mountains are both nice too. Royal National Park is less than an hour drive from Sydney; its lesser known than the other two, but I liked it more.

The Whitsundays was going to be my other recommendation. I stayed in Airlie beach. But taking a boat to Whitehaven beach was my favorite part of Australia. I'd post a picture but that's a pain on here

Starbucks: Goodbye Plastic Straws

Starbucks announced on Monday it plans to eliminate plastic straws from its 28,000 stores worldwide by 2020. The company will broaden the manufacture and use of what some in social media have dubbed the "adult sippy cup." It's a plastic strawless lid that will come to replace single-use plastic straws that now inundate its coffee shops. The company says the move, when fully implemented, could mean a billion fewer plastic straws across its stores each year. And it's a part of Starbucks' $10 million investment in creating recyclable and compostable cups around the world.

The strawless lid has already been in use at many of the company's stores for certain kinds of cold drinks like cold foam and "draft nitro," the coffee drink that comes out of a keg, mixed with nitrogen. Unlike straws, the new lid can be recycled, the company said.

"For our partners and customers, this is a significant milestone to achieve our global aspiration of sustainable coffee, served to our customers in more sustainable ways," Kevin Johnson, president and chief executive officer for Starbucks, said in a statement.

Starbucks' headquarters are in Seattle, where a ban on plastic straws just kicked in.

Other chains are also experimenting with getting rid of straws. In June, McDonald's announced it would start phasing out plastic straws at about 1,300 restaurants in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Sorry, just wanted to see people rage about straws some more after that Seattle post

Not really necessary to spend $400 on coffee, but if you are, buy an espresso machine.

Love how half of these comments start with "it's not her fault but..." and go on to question her motives. Maybe your victim shaming is the reason some people never come forward.

Like Mango.

Yeah but that’s the point. GS and firms like that don’t recruit out of schools like LSU. Actually they do for diversity programs but that’s another thing. Your brother got the job I’m guessing because he got a graduate degree at an elite school after LSU or else otherwise distinguished himself working in the field to get the job.

He doesn't have a masters, so the point is that "100% of the time big companies don't hire from lsu" would be incorrect. Is it true in most cases? Sure, but not all
