South Shore's Finest

Take a trip around the surrounding towns of the South Shore.

South Shore's Finest
Nicole Karan

I have lived in the South Shore area of Massachusetts for basically my whole life and I have explored many hidden gems around the area. I thought it would be appropriate to share my top five hidden gems around the South Shore towns of Massachusetts.

1. Best coffee: Marylou's.

As the motto says, it is the best coffee in town, and it doesn't lie. If you love chocolate and coffee (which I do), then this coffee is the perfect fit for you. Don't let the pink overwhelm you, because the coffee is always good, no matter whether it's hot or iced.

2. Best restaurant: Stars on Hingham Harbor.

Two words: mac and cheese, with buffalo chicken...need I say more. It comes in a big skillet, so I hope you have a big appetite because you seriously can't finish it in one sitting. So if you have the appetite, stop by and have the mac and cheese and don't forget the buffalo chicken.

3. Best beach hangout: Nantasket Beach in Hull, Mass.

I mean it's no Cape Cod beach but it's pretty close, with the scenic Hull in the background with many ice cream shops, mini-golf, and even a carousel from the original Paragon Park, of what is left over from back in the day. If you can't get to the Cape for summer, Hull is the next best thing.

4. Best burger joint: Wahlburgers

Yes, the name seems familiar, and it's a great burger as well. Who knows you could run into Alma or even Mark or Donnie! I highly recommend the Double Decker with cheese and a side of tater tots.

5. Best discount shopping: Marshalls.


Not because I work there, but you can get cheap deals on designer items in all in one store. What more could you ask for?

6.Best Breakfast Spot: Newcomb's Breakfast and Lunch


Two words: skillet breakfast, the signature dish, so be sure to stop by the tiny diner on the inside. The food will fill you up for two courses.

7. Best Beer Spot: Hingham Beer Works


In the fall, it's all about the pumpkin beer with the cinnamon sugar rim and in the summer it's watermelon ale garnished with a huge watermelon is always a refreshing treat for the summer.

8. Best Ice Cream: Michele's Ice Cream

In the cute little drive through, Michele's has a ton of flavors of soft serve to hard ice cream flavors as well. They also sell sandwiches as well hope you have sweet tooth and hope you have a big appetite.

Thanks for taking a trip with me throughout my surrounding hometowns. Hope you can find hidden gems and write about them soon. Always explore around you to find really interesting things.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
