In 1986, Marylou Sandry opened up the first Marylou's Coffee in Hanover, Massachusetts.

After 30 years the first Marylou's location is now one of many cafés -- 28 in Massachusetts and even eight locations expanding into Rhode Island. I am lucky to say I have worked for the company for two and a half years now, and the Hanover location has been totally redone. The chain is growing just as much as our love for the Funky Fanabla. You are beyond lucky if a Marylou's Coffee is in your area since I have missed my favorite coffee deeply. I can not only wait to have a large Cinnamon Hazelnut Fluff with mocha when I return but coming back to work with the best co-workers as well!

Marylou's is an absolute addiction, it is a coffee shop for all ages. Ranging from "cotton candy kidz creamz," small coffee black with a flat lid, and the Girl Scout Cookie with whip cream on top. If you like coffee or any sort of beverage, you can find it here. Not only that but pastries and breakfast sandwiches galore. The coffees range from plain flavors, specialties, extra specialties and everything else in between. One of my favorites is the iced blue raspberry Red Bull, tastes like summer and gets you just as wired for the day as coffee. Not only that but a one coffee combo sadly taken off the menu, a Blueberry Cooler, is also a personal favorite of mine.

Marylou's has character, it was built in a vintage home and once newspaper store, and it began such a huge success over the last 30 years. Thousands of people have worked for the company and I am so happy to say I am one of them. The atmosphere, daily customers and the people I work with make it the best job ever. My friends do not understand why I enjoy coming into work at 5:15 a.m. to open up, and all I can say is "Well, I love my job." I am so excited to work in a beautiful new store this summer, it may be crazy, but it is so worth it. Also, shout out to the best manager ever Janelle King, who everyone can agree puts a smile on their face - and who can forget about Mal? My favorites.

These coffees taste like no other, our beans are flavored and smell delicious the second you put them in the grinder. I did not even like coffee before I started working here -- so as I said before, Marylou's is for everyone. Not to mention totally worth your buck, especially with our signature Big Louie that is a crowd favorite -- extra large size coffee for a great price.

If you have never tried a Marylou's Coffee, I am sending you on a mission to go and find the closest location. The Pemfield location may be closed for the Summer, but that is no excuse to come and visit the one and only Hanover store-- recently awarded the Readers Choice for best coffee place in Hanover! Bye bye Dunkin' Donuts, we have you beat! If you live in the South Shore, you should have a Marylou's Coffee at every corner and do not take that for granted. If you see this Marylou, please expand out into Worcester, it is a big college town, with a lot of kids missing your specialty coffee. Also if you need workers for your commercials, you know who to call.

Live. Love. Marylou's.

Your favorite Marylou's girl,

Ready for another great Summer!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
