Demi Lovato And Max Ehrich Broke Off Their Engagement And, Sorry Not Sorry, We Saw This Coming
I love Demi, but I can't say I'm surprised.

That's right, you heard that correctly: Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich called off their engagement after the couple originally announced their engagement in July after beginning to date in March.
<p>As sad as I am for the two of them because it was probably an incredibly hard decision, you really don't know someone after only four months of dating. In fact, the "<a href="https://rccaustin.com/blog/honeymoon-phase-end-happens-next#:~:text=This%20is%20called%20the%20%E2%80%9Choneymoon,it%20comes%20to%20an%20end." target="_blank">honeymoon phase</a>" of dating can be anything from six months to two years. Considering they started dating in March, and it's now September, they really just hit the end of that honeymoon phase as this was all going down. </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2647795740-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

</script>
</div></p><p><strong>It doesn't mean they didn't love each other at some point or want to be with each other, it just means that as the starry eyes and heart eyes wore off, so did the relationship.</strong></p><p>In all reality, <a href="https://www.brides.com/story/this-is-how-long-most-couples-date-before-getting-married#:~:text=According%20to%20recent%20data%2C%20most,between%2012%20and%2018%20months." target="_blank">most couples date for an average</a> of two to five years before getting engaged and remain engaged for 12 to 18 months before getting married. This isn't to say that a quick engagement and marriage can't be successful because it can be, but this is to say that maybe, just maybe, Demi and Max got starry-eyed and overzealous in their honeymoon phase.</p><p>Relationships have to be tested, and they can be tested in short relationships at times. The true test comes, though, when you've been with someone for years, seen them at their worst, seen them at their best, and everything in between and still want to wake up every day and fight for your relationship. Fight for that person even when it's hard because you can't picture your life without them.</p><p><strong>A four-month relationship followed by a two-month engagement seems pretty disposable to me.</strong></p><p>People can enter your life just as suddenly as they can leave it, and I think that's why so many people tend to date for several years before making that commitment because marriage is a super serious commitment and not something to be taken lightly. You need to make sure that your future spouse isn't going to walk out of the door just as quickly as they walked into it. </p><p>So, sorry not sorry, but as much as everyone was rooting for this to work out, if we're honest with ourselves, we knew that more than likely it wasn't going to last...</p>

Demi Lovato's Called-Off Engagement Reminds Us Of The Importance Of Taking Our Time In Relationships
While this may be another hardship she sadly has to endure, I know she will find a way to inspire and help others through it.

I am heartbroken.
<p>About two months ago, Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich blessed our Instagram feeds with the most <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/demi-lovato-max-ehrich-engagement" target="_blank">beautiful proposal</a>. It seemed like they were so in love — full of vivacious energy and bright smiles. However, underneath the proposal and all its fairytale glory was a slight crack, one that most people chose to look past, including myself.</p><p><strong>Demi and Max had really only been in a serious relationship since March when they started quarantining together.<br></strong></p><p>Unfortunately, this would later prove to be an issue and they've since <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/demi-max-broken-engagement" target="_blank">called off their engagement</a>. No matter how in-love the couple appeared to be on our Instagram feeds, marrying someone after only knowing them for five months is not ideal. Not to mention, being forced to be inseparable due to quarantine put an unrealistic mask over their relationship. <br></p><p><div id="div-gpt-2647795473-content-ad" class="ad"><script>
if(isFeed1x1){
isFeed1x1=false;
googletag.cmd.push(function() {

});
}
</script>
</div></p><h3>A quarantine relationship is simply not a real relationship. <br></h3><p>Quarantine, for some couples, was essentially bliss. There were no busy work schedules or socializing with other people. It was just Demi and Max all day, all the time, enjoying the warm California weather poolside. And they fell madly, deeply in-love during this time, causing them to rush the relationship <em>to the extreme.<br></em></p><p><strong>Unfortunately, in our society, we seem to be conditioned to believe we always need to be in a relationship. And that, at some point, we need to get married before we're "too old."<br></strong></p><p>I don't know Demi personally, and I probably never will, but there are a lot of people who believe love is like oxygen. Without it, we feel like we're dying. We want to be loved, but more importantly, we want to show we are "lovable." What's even worse, though, is so many people believe they <em>need</em> to prove this by marrying before a certain age. And so, they rush their relationships.<br></p><p>We fall so in love with people during the honeymoon phase that we can forget to look at them in a different light. We forget to recognize their bad traits and their shortcomings. We forget to really know them for who they are and not the person they are trying to be to impress us. <br></p><p><strong>We are sure they are the person we want to spend the rest of our lives with, so why wouldn't we just take that leap as soon as possible so we can fit society's standards before it's "too late"?</strong><br></p><div>Because society has convinced us that it is 100% necessary, we rush relationships that might not be ready for a lifelong commitment. We rush relationships that aren't meant to be. All to feel fulfilled in life, because the pressures of society have convinced us we need a fairytale to be happy. <br></div><div><span></span></div><p><strong>But if you don't finish the fairytale, how do you really know if the characters are meant to be together?<br></strong></p><p>Oftentimes, from the outside looking in, our friends are the first to notice a relationship just isn't meant to be. Outsiders are more likely to notice the cracks that our lovesick puppy eyes glaze right over.<br></p><p><a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1191663/demi-lovato-and-max-ehrich-break-up-2-months-after-engagement?cmpid=social_instagram_bio%26source%3Dinstagram-enews%26medium%3Dlink-post" target="_blank">Demi's friends expressed their own hesitancy</a>: "People close to Demi have expressed that they are worried and are hesitant about Max."<br></p><p>Demi couldn't see that this relationship wasn't meant to be, and anyone who has been in love knows you just aren't going to see it in the "fairytale stage." However, if she had just given the relationship more time and not rushed it, she might have eventually seen Max's shortcomings, too. Shortcomings that just weren't going to form a lifelong relationship.<br></p><p><strong>Demi has been through a lot in her life, and she continues to inspire me and countless other people every day. While this may be another hardship she sadly has to endure, I know she will find a way to inspire and help others through it.<br></strong></p><p>This is devastating — for her, her family, and her fans. Everyone just wants her to finally find happiness, as she seems to have found within herself. But maybe her time to love herself, maybe her time to be independent, just isn't over yet. <br></p><p>And if we can learn anything from this situation, it's that it's OK not to rush a relationship. Take it slow. Enjoy the fairytale stage and mature together into the next stage. It may get harder before it gets blissful again, but if you take things one step at a time, you'll be ready for marriage. On your time, not on society's time.<br></p><p>And if it's your time to be a single, independent, boss babe like Demi, live it up! There's no need to rush a relationship or into a relationship.<br></p><p><strong></strong><em><strong>Follow Swoon on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/odysseyswoon/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.</strong></em><br></p>

Freshly popped buttered popcorn in your lap and a glass full of crisp Coca-Cola is at your side. All the lights are turned off and you are tucked into a cozy blanket. You have the whole day off and no responsibilities besides refilling your popcorn bucket. Now all you have to do is decide on what movie to watch, but you know one movie will not fulfill your need of relaxing all day. A movie marathon is the only answer to your problem. In case you did not know what movie series to start with, try a few of these.

23 Wilmington Locations All 'One Tree Hill' Fans Must Visit
The biggest scenes in the biggest show.

A Touch Of Teal
It's the oldest story in the world: one day a new tv show comes on and you fall in love with each character and their story. In 2003, the show "One Tree Hill" was born and stole the hearts of fans of many ages. Torn between the sweet, underdog Lucas and tough, popular boy Nathan, people became hooked through the family and relationship drama the characters went through.
<p>To this day new fans arise since "One Tree Hill" is thankfully on Netflix. "One Tree Hill" was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, which is a small town with a beautiful historic district. </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2477427510-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

Here are the locations with addresses so all you other fans can enjoy Wilmington and get to see the locations that set some of the biggest scenes in "One Tree Hill."</p><h2>1. Lucas Scott and Karen Roe's House - 1829 Wrightsville Ave. Wilmington, NC</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ2OC9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY1ODgyMDUzM30.bDFzloYUv75PbmM29ugQlpxrRvLtoZOjlW6FM-MADmw/img.jpg?width=980" id="10b4c" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="454820643e67f766ad326abfc4a8a9f9" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image">
</p><p>This house is featured even after Lucas leaves the show; it is amazing to see. The porch where Lucas and Karen shared many talks. Featured in the picture is the door that led to Lucas' room. The door has been brown, red for Brooke, and black after Lucas and Brooke broke up.</p><h2>2. Peyton Sawyer's House - 1901 Chesnut St. Wilmington, NC</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ2OS9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY2MzgxNTY0Mn0._NYOrhnGPiG5WhSbeqjKnaziF7QprokRFvu4uCeANzI/img.jpg?width=980" id="812e2" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="a269cb815aa45d9911b8a6675c782567" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image">
</p><p>If you think seeing Lucas' house was amazing, see Peyton's! The window where her fake, stalker brother "Derek" fell out and disappeared. Of course, be courteous of the family that now lives there. As soon as we arrived, the blinds in Peyton's room were shut so we quickly took our pictures and moved on right across the street!</p><h2>3. Haley James' House - 1811 Chesnut St. Wilmington, NC</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ3MC9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY1OTM0MDc1MH0.2hZQ6s3Wkl6sbba3voYWwrhAdisiVs9O2dtXvGpu9Is/img.jpg?width=980" id="70e82" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="c73a862d3d724636873abc6b333510b9" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image">
</p><p>You read that right! Peyton and Haley's houses are on corners right next to each other! Haley's house isn't shown too many times but we can't forget the famous "Naley" kissing scenes that take place right in front. Their famous kiss in the rain is always a favorite scene from Haley's house.</p><h2>4. Brooke Davis' House - 2314 Tattersalls Dr. Wilmington, NC</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ3MS9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY1ODkwMDM4NX0.hn_GqS31TkcYvS5fyfpiYpI7tBgnIYAJypk9y1Y6F4I/img.jpg?width=980" id="a3bdd" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="fd46d15e5f7e2538ad31ef7a31a2a515" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image">
</p><p>Seeing Brooke's house made me as happy as when I see my waiter bringing my food to the table or cuddling a cute puppy. Brooke is a favorite of mine and, let me tell you, her house is even better in person. You can't go up close because the owners have a sign requesting people to please stay on the sidewalk. The door is still red in honor of "the girl behind the red door"!</p><h2>5. Dan and Deb Scott's House - 1621Country Club Rd. Yadkinville, NC<br></h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ3Mi9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYzMjI5MTQwOX0.BbmCXAVhlnCkpGVvt3u4nwEOQG1zwatdWzlWZBPwRdM/img.jpg?width=980" id="e2b85" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="bda68c249fa9017b21f662567312971b" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image"><br>
</p><p>Seeing this house, also a commonly shown house, was fascinating. It's a little out of the way but worth the drive! The house looks the same and actually has a basketball hoop in the back driveway. Seeing the details of the house and the yard (from street view of course) just proved this was the perfect house for Dan Scott.

</p><p>I had to put three pictures for this house because, wow! It is a gorgeous house from what we could see. Major shout out to my mom and sister for getting some pictures of the backyard where they played football in one episode. Also, a picture of the pool where Jamie almost drowns and Nanny Carrie took some swims, *eye roll*.
</p><h2>7. Clay and Quinn's Beach House - 650 New River Inlet Rd, N. Topsail Beach, NC</h2><p>We actually never made it here but would 100% go if I ever go back to Wilmington. It's a good drive away from most of the spots which are in Wilmington, NC. The beach house is featured a lot in the last seasons of One Tree Hill, especially the episode where Katie and Quinn run around chasing each other after Katie had shot Clay and Quinn a while back.
</p><h2>8. Nathan and Haley's Apartment - 2395 Birchwood Ave. Wilmington, NC<br></h2><p>My group and I never actually stopped to look and check the apartment out but I can assume we drove past it multiple times without realizing. If looking for the little moments and places, Nathan and Haley's apartment is a great place to drive by and check out. We recall their newlywed days living there and then Brooke also living there while Haley was on tour.
</p><h2>9. Keith's Auto Shop - 19 Covil Ave. Wilmington, NC<br></h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ3Ni9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY0OTE4NjA5NH0.3HMwsckZY0N7Y5bwKsSwFVyhAEl8xHmvI2oqNKbowt8/img.jpg?width=980" id="408d0" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="6239f1d0e089815ddb6e8351cf3482f5" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image"><br>
</p><p>A little awkward pulling up here because of course, the workers think you need something with your car fixed. Nope, just checking out where Peyton caught Lucas first looking at her artwork after he had fixed her car with the help of Keith. Later Lucas brings Jamie to the shop and teaches him how to fix cars, so sweet.
</p><h2>10. Leyton Tow Spot- Plantation Road, Winnabow, NC<br></h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ3Ny9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY2MzU5NzYzM30.SNSUzkk1c5cu8NsvnHrWo6OHfbHwa3l31H3cB-CXEYY/img.jpg?width=980" id="aa3b2" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="cec9764affc591ed6adf2037325463a4" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image">Let me warn you, this is the toughest place to find! It isn't actually on Plantation Road I don't think but put that in your GPS and you just have to drive around a little bit. There was actually an alligator which was pretty cool to see. The areas around it are also very pretty so enjoy driving around some!<br>
</p><h2>11. Keith and Lucas' Crash Intersection - 3rd St. and Princess<br></h2><p>Although this is not monumental like each person's house, while walking the streets of Wilmington, NC it is awe-inspiring to pass through an intersection and see a landmark from "One Tree Hill". In Season One, Episode Thirteen Keith and Lucas are driving to pick up Karen from the airport where she flew in from Italy. On the way to the airport, Keith and Lucas were in a car accident which left Lucas critical. A surprising hero, Dan Scott, rushed Lucas and Keith to the hospital.

</p><h2>12. Karen's Cafe - The corner of Grace Street and Front Street</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ3OS9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYyMDUzMzU5OX0.oD1Dkyje2pao_LCZrlBk6-BcmrbQxblZoNaOP2HpY6s/img.jpg?width=980" id="c1ef7" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="8ae9d0ab70fceabdcb4735419bae4157" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image">
</p><p>When you ask locals which building on the two corners of Grace and Front was Karen's Cafe, they will tell you it is the cute coffee shop. Sadly they are wrong if they tell you that. It is the shop on the right if standing across the street looking at the two. All that's missing is the red awnings over the windows.</p><p>The coffee shop was known as Tree Hill Cafe and Baker Men. Walk around in the store though and you'll see the high ceiling which made it possible for them to film Karen's Cafe in there. Sadly, Lucas and Haley's rooftop scenes were filmed on a different roof.<br>
</p><h2>13. The Record Store - 8 Market Street</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ4MC9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYzODc1OTQxOX0.UjirXXnnHTltLHlENPrQqXkDcGYuB_q1Tf2eViPiCKk/img.jpg?width=980" id="c7c1f" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="e410b6ff69954e57feb3a601216ebe7c" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image">
</p><p>Walking up to this building will give "One Tree Hill" fans goosebumps, at least I know it gave me some! From outside the Black Cat Shoppe looks just the same as it did while being featured as the record store on "One Tree Hill."</p><p>As I walked in I thought about how Peyton walked in there many times looking for hope, an answer, just something to help her through whatever was going on. The Record Store is also where we met the loathed, Chris Keller.<br>
</p><h2>14. TRIC - 1121 South Front Street</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ4MS9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY2MzY3Mjk4MH0.dV2xxqlcTmgWuBTZE8SGUP8ME_ybU30u65wH0PeITxU/img.jpg?width=980" id="2700e" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="7324b57aeed5baeefbfbc4252c185617" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image">
</p><p>When you get to TRIC you have to go around back to see the steps where people lined up to see artists from Haley James to Gavin DeGraw perform. Bring a Sharpie so you can sign your name, state, date, or your favorite quote from "One Tree Hill." The walls and steps are covered in other names and quotes from different fans who have visited.<br>
</p><h2>15. Tree Hill High - 610 North Front Street</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ4Mi9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYxNDkzNDM3Mn0.FS8po_4JaG_xkn4O5jedD5sDEUphtyaGkCZR1DaKFPM/img.jpg?width=980" id="65fb8" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="5c8859295a0a036433af741b18092c41" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image">
</p><p>The exterior of Cape Fear Community College is famous for being shown as the outside of Tree Hill High. We saw the local community college in episodes like the school shooting episode where Lucas tackles Nathan as he attempts to run into the school looking for Haley. Walking where such great scenes from the high school seasons happened is amazing.<br>
</p><h2>16. Sam's Favorite Dinner - Dixie Grill<br></h2><p>Another not very interesting or famous "One Tree Hill" stop but a nice place to enjoy is the Dixie Grill. While looking for places to eat in Wilmington this is a must! The Dixie Grill has great reviews AND was featured on "One Tree Hill". The Dixie Grill is the diner that Sam, Brooke's foster child, went to hang out many times.
</p><h2>17. River Court - U.S.S. Carolina</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ4My9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYzNDA5NTExNX0.m7z6wkD0lLiIJuVT-LwkJ4XAQuJtBiNLqhHRTmdaHpk/img.jpg?width=980" id="39492" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="f4bcdc29051c2587664f715bd07f6ee4" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image">
</p><p>Across the river is the U.S.S. Carolina where a giant battleship is stationed. You can tour the ship, which I highly recommend if you find some free time. Between the U.S.S. Carolina's parking lot and the river's edge, is the River Court.</p><p>It does not have a basketball court, only a shelter with a few picnic tables. Standing there will still give fans the feeling they are searching for. Standing at the place Lucas beat Nathan at in the first episode and many more important moments happened.<br>
</p><h2>18. Riverwalk/ Cracker Jack Table</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ4NC9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYyMjM2NDI5Mn0.TSwQ_05_ej7sv27fjDkcQBFGt9oIPDOt3KJ2xkgRh6s/img.jpg?width=980" id="0b255" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="a0dcaf6cc5a5c5c7e82c1884e3e86afa" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image">

</p><p>Enjoy a walk down the Riverwalk with a beautiful view while thinking about scenes like the burning boat ceremonies and the first Naley tutoring scene. No need to worry about knowing which table was used to film the scene Nathan gave Haley a bracelet from his Cracker Jack box.</p><p>Other fans who have previously visited found the exact table and have decorated it with quotes, specifically from that scene or famous Haley quotes. With that being said keep a Sharpie with you at all times!<br>
</p><h2>19. Nathan's Window - 23 North Front Street</h2><p>This is also not a big stop unlike the houses but while walking the streets of Wilmington, it is interesting to check out the little places that caused big impacts. This window is the window Nathan was throw out of after signing with the Seattle Sonics. This is the reason Nathan ends up in a wheelchair and struggles to walk and play basketball at the beginning of the time jump in season five.
</p><h2>20. Church - 401 Grace Street<br></h2><p>This is the church where Keith and Jules, then Lucas and Lindsey were both supposed to be married in. Although those two weddings didn't happen, Brooke and Julian did get married in this church. I added this just because I thought the church was beautiful and would be spectacular to check out.
</p><h2>21. Bluepost Billiards<br></h2><p>This is a bar which was featured a couple of times on "One Tree Hill". The first time the Bluepost Billiards was filmed in was Lucas and Brooke's first date. If of age, stop for a drink and reminisce on Lucas and Brooke playing pool there and using their fake I.D.s.
</p><h2>22. Raven's Game Gym - 2700 North College Road</h2><p>This is the gym used for the Ravens home games, another gym was used for the away games. My group did not make it to see the gym, however, I'm sure it's unbelievable to stand in the gym where Lucas realized Peyton was the one or where Nathan made the winning shot without looking.
</p><h2>23. THE Bridge- 6th Street Bridge on North Street and Hanover Street</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMDYzMzQ4Ny9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY1MDQ3NzQyOH0.VrXifkDxHkrs2ftxJV3up5CxYPn7KgSZwE5ESCfz6Gw/img.jpg?width=980" id="18af1" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="7ff964369ab43b5b31ea725add312f7f" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image">

</p><p>"I don't want to be anything other than me" -Gavin DeGraw; This is the bridge opening bridge where Lucas dribbled a basketball across in the opening credits. It is another time you will want to have a Sharpie on you.</p><p>Walking on the bridge is incredible, not just because it is in the opening scene. The bridge is covered in quotes with people's name, state, and/or date. Sophia Bush who played Brooke Davis signed the bridge while visiting Wilmington.</p><p>Seeing everyone's favorite quote or message about how "One Tree Hill" affected them is marvelous. TV shows impact a lot of people and it's known that "One Tree Hill" was a great show but I personally didn't realize it until I saw this bridge. The bridge is truly a piece of artwork.<br>
</p><p><br>
</p><p>Thank you for your art Mark Schwan, it's what got me and many others here. I hope all the avid "One Tree Hill" fans make it down to Wilmington, North Carolina sometime because it is definitely worth the trip.</p><p>Some people have music like Haley, others have art like Peyton. Many people write like Lucas or go to a court like Nathan when they need to work things out or find comfort in a difficult time. Many fans found "One Tree Hill" to be their comfort, through the nine seasons we bonded with the fictional characters of Tree Hill.</p><p>If you can make it to Wilmington, definitely keep these twenty-three places in mind. Don't say I never gave you anything!</p><p><br></p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><script type="text/javascript">amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0";

Be kind to your baristas, they can make you some pretty great drinks. With the temperature rising and the days getting longer, it's approaching the time to find your summer staple to keep you cool (and caffeinated) over the next few months.
<p>Starbucks offers a wide variety of cold beverages that really hit the spot during the summer months, from espresso drinks to fraps, smoothies, teas, and refreshers. As a Starbucks barista, I've had the opportunity to taste most drinks on the menu and receive feedback from customers on the dos and don'ts of cold beverages.</p><p><a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/starbucks-chocolate-covered-strawberry-cold-brew" target="_blank"><strong>SEE MORE: Starbucks Has Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Cold Brew And OMG It Has Pink Foam</strong></a></p><p><div id="div-gpt-2478098180-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' Is Ending After 20 Seasons And People Have Mixed Feelings
"Kim, there's people that are dying."

E!
"Keeping Up With The Kardashians" is coming to an end after 20 seasons of intense drama, family bonding, and Scott Disick. It's sad for some and a relief for others who find the show way overhyped.
<p> <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/keeping-up-kardashians-is-ending" target="_blank">If you've followed the famous KarJenners</a> for the past two decades, you've definitely laughed, cried, hated someone on the show, questioned that Kourtney was a robot because of her monotone voice, and obsessed over the KarJenner babies. </p><p>Over the years we started to see less family drama than we were used to and started to see more of the business side of things for the Kardashians and Jenners behind the scenes of what they do every day. </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2647792890-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

</script>
</div></p><p>This past season was particularly dramatic because we saw a lot of family disputes and even physical altercations between the sisters and Kourtney decided she was going to leave the show. </p><p>As a Kardashian fan myself, one thing I will always be grateful for is that even after Kourtney and Scott broke up, we still got to have Scott on the show.</p><p>Scott is absolutely integral to the "KUWTK" comedic structure because of all of his insane <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/scott-disick-lord-of-kuwtk" target="_blank">antics and one-liners. </a></p><p>"KUWTK" has had so many <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/kuwtk-iconic-moments/when-kim-lost-her-75k-diamond-earring-in-the-ocean" target="_blank">great moments</a> that it's definitely hard to choose what your favorite is, whether it's when Kim lost her diamond earring in the ocean and Kourtney iconically set her priorities straight, or when Khloe announced she was having a baby, there are so many feel-good moments that are split with drama and comedy that make the show worth watching. </p><p>If you aren't a fan of the show, you definitely have a different point of view of being happy it's finally done airing. </p><p>For the people who do not watch "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" have probably questioned how this show has made it a full 20 seasons. Most "KUWTK" haters exist because they don't like the Kardashian family or they just <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/kuwtk-is-finally-ending" target="_blank">dislike the idea of reality television.</a></p><p>Whether you love them or hate them, we've all grown up with them in some way, shape, or form so it is a big deal that "KUWTK" will no longer be on E!</p>

<h1>Hot Drinks</h1><h2>1. Chai Tea Latte/Oprah Chai Latte</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

</p><p>
<br>
</p><p>
This drink is a pretty popular one. It has a chai syrup (that has a little kick to it) with a splash of hot water and steamed milk. You can get it hot or iced, both are equally as good in my opinion.

</p><p>
This hot drink is my personal favorite. It tastes like childhood in a cup. It's made with cinnamon dolce syrup and steamed apple juice, topped with whip and caramel sauce. It's basically the best cup of apple cider you've ever had.
</p><h2>3. Zebra Hot Chocolate</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjrvNvaus7PAhUj2oMKHYI_C-AQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.today.com%2Ffood%2Fgo-menu-these-8-secret-starbucks-drink-ideas-t75746&bvm=bv.135258522,d.amc&psig=AFQjCNF5NLGQadw-rs7HSB6fVWkHIXKG4Q&ust=1476127785811201"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMzc0NzA1NC9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYyNTUxNzc4Mn0.GIbzn71DFhW_xIUPejUYhoDpH1JnRQhlmm-6jKRhrMY/img.jpg?width=980" id="4afb2" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="77b37e89996993e42e95acf0e23262f3" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image"></a>
</p><p>
Hot chocolate is also a pretty common thing to get, but this is a different version of the classic Starbucks hot cocoa. It uses not only mocha syrup, but also white mocha, hence the 'zebra' in the name.
</p><h2>4. Peppermint Hot Chocolate/Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiM26u7u87PAhUs4oMKHcshDfkQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fharkeraquila.com%2F9655%2Flifestyle%2Fhot-drinks-favorites-in-the-holiday-season%2F&bvm=bv.135258522,d.amc&psig=AFQjCNEX0XJIAmMmELsoCH_H9I4g-Ux82g&ust=1476127989061385"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMzc0NzA1NS9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYyNTIwNDQwOX0.wlbb7W7hZ23LtYPloDIzUwpSjw0MOl28oGmlNfyzO5U/img.jpg?width=980" id="24f21" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="ffa05369735ef0b86fccc23467795bdd" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image"></a>
</p><p>
These two are a must try, especially in the fall and winter seasons. They're pretty self-explanatory, but not thought of a lot when it comes time to ordering. Try them…you won't regret it.
</p><h2>5. Sick Tea</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjEn7Lmu87PAhWL5YMKHc-XCsMQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fforknplate.com%2F2014%2F07%2F23%2Fthe-entire-secret-menu-of-starbucks%2F&bvm=bv.135258522,d.amc&psig=AFQjCNHkLIJvuz_S8WeFOXROX_vdoHzgCw&ust=1476128064950002"><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8xMzc0NzA1Ni9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY1NzcyNTc2OX0.RpJrdABMODcmpplzxA_5jZePiSLUsK3FQUdQSxh8BFo/img.jpg?width=980" id="845aa" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="7a284bcd4cceac77d4a835d213658678" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image"></a>
</p><p>
This drink is exactly what it says it is. Sick Teas are good for sore throats, congestion, and coughs. It's made with steamed lemonade poured over Teavana's Mint Majesty tea, topped with a splash of apple juice.
</p><h1>Cold Drinks</h1><h2>6. Passion Tango Tea Lemonade</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

</p><p>
I'm currently drinking this if that tells you anything…it's Passion tea and lemonade shaken up, and you can add classic sweetener if you desire (it's better sweetened). The color of these drinks is probably prettier than me.

These are very chocolatey, but amazing nonetheless. No coffee, just mocha and chocolate chips. If you're in the mood for something milkshake-like, try this.

Lifestyle
A Definitive Ranking Of The BEST Hand Sanitizers You Can Buy, From Luxe To Budget-Friendly
The new purse essential just got a serious upgrade.
17h
3217
What was usually buried at the bottom of my purse has now become a pocket essential — and I know I'm not alone in that.
It used to be something I'd use if I happened to be at a restaurant that ran out of soap in their bathroom, but now it's almost more essential to have on-hand at all times than my cell phone.
<p>Like many of my friends and family, the more I started using hand sanitizer, the more I realized how dry and chapped the low-quality ones I was using were making my hands. A lot of mass-market big brands were selling out of theirs and in the interest of supporting small and POC-owned businesses, I started looking for more options to give my money to.</p><p>My fellow beauty junkies also know that most skin and beauty care brands seamlessly began selling sanitizer — most of them had ingredients on-hand already, so it was easy for them to start doing so. </p><p>Over the past several months, I've tried and tested nearly every hand sanitizer on the market, coming up with a list of some of my favorites — these don't just smell good and keep my hands baby soft, but a lot of them are small businesses or doing good for the communities they come from by giving financial resources to causes fighting COVID-19.</p><p><div class="powrload_9edb92"></div>

<p>This FDA-approved antiseptic from a Sephora-loved, POC-owned skincare brand comes in a convenient, small spray bottle. The unscented formula makes this perfect for anyone who might have a sensitive nose, and it happens to be one of my favorites when my skin is feeling sensitive because it doesn't leave any greasy residue.</p>

<p>Similarly to the aforementioned LATHER hand sanitizer, I keep this one right by the entryway to my apartment to use the moment I step in my door. It <em>actually</em> smells like light and refreshing green apples in a light and refreshing citrus scent which I love, and it also happens to be the most hydrating hand sanitizer on this list.</p><p>The only con I would say about this is that it leaves my hands a little sticky sometimes. But, I'd rather feel sticky than dry or chapped.</p>

<p>These elixirs have the indulgent feel of a light gel or moisturizer, and have a light, refreshing scent that's well-suited for any sensitive to strong smells.</p><p>Available in rose, oud, and hemp scents, each has nourishing cactus and calendula in them. Despite that, the cap lid isn't always the most convenient on the go, and while the CDC recommends using a sanitizer with 70% alcohol, this one only has about 40%. </p><p>It's good in a pinch when I'm in a low-risk situation, but for more dire scenarios, this isn't one to bank on.</p>

<p>I've actually been using this hydrating hand sanitizer for over a year, since before coronavirus was a part of our vocabulary. </p><p>The Harvard grad-founded brand features bird-shaped bottles with some of the most convenient spray bottles I've ever used. The lack of a lid makes this easier than anything to use on-the-go, but the awkward shape makes this difficult to fit nicely in a small purse, my pocket, or a small compartment in a bag. </p><p>That said, I keep this on my desk where it sits nicely next to my laptop. I appreciate the cute packaging and how quick and easy it is to use.</p>

<p>This has been my go-to for when I am in situations that have involved me wearing a face mask for a long time or just generally being out for a prolonged period of time. I use it on my hands, to spray my mask every once in a while, and to disinfect any potentially suspicious surfaces I come across while I'm out.</p><p>This is hydrating, clean, budget-friendly, and easy to use. The only reason this is a bit lower on the list is for its slight Clorox-like scent, reminiscent of an elementary school bathroom. </p>

<p>Though at first, this looks like a standard mass-market gel, the formulation has nourishing aloe and grapefruit in it. I'll be honest, I don't feel it's particularly hydrating, but it also it isn't drying in any way. For a Farmacy product, it's super well priced and I like the way this feels.</p><p>It is a true upgrade on most other hand sanitizers out there though it does have a strong alcohol scent. The smell doesn't personally bother me, but a lot of Sephora reviewers did complain about it despite it being labeled as fragrance-free.</p>

<p>One of the absolute best hand sanitizers on this list for being small business-owned, nourishing, clean, and hydrating, the only reason it didn't top the list is for being a bit pricey.</p><p>That said, you're paying for extremely high-quality ingredients that'll leave your hands feeling softer than ever and smelling like an Italian roses and rosemary garden.</p>

<p>Curie's hand sanitizer is for the cool hipster in your life. The hyaluronic acid and prickly pear in this are super hydrating, and the natural citrusy scents sparked dozens of positive, five-star reviews.</p><p>I had issues with a broken pump on the one I tried, so I use it a bit more sparingly than others I have on-hand, but it's definitely one I'd recommend for the quality you get for its price.</p>

<p>Admittedly and unfortunately, this hand sanitizer is no longer available. But, I'd be remiss not to mention their campaign through which they created 60,000 units of it to donate to those in needed. What started as the luxury skincare brand donating 20,000 units to healthcare workers gained momentum as an initiative to gift the sanitizer to the public. </p><p>Customers were able to redeem two 50ml tubes of the sanitizer for free so long as they paid shipping.</p>

10 Reasons Every College Library Should Have Therapy Dogs, And Not Just During Finals
These helpful pups make college WAY less stressful.
22h
2436
The decision-makers of Yale's law students have invested in therapy dog sessions in order to reduce stress. In 2011, Yale Law Library had a sign-out sheet for their certified library dog. The 30-minute sessions were equipped with unconditional, stress-busting puppy love.
Law Librarian Blair Kauffman stated that the free, three-day pilot pet therapy program at Yale Law Library launched as "a positive addition to current services offered by the library."
<blockquote>"It is well documented that visits from therapy dogs have resulted in increased happiness, calmness and overall emotional well-being." - Law Librarian Blair Kauffman</blockquote><p>There are appropriate regulations that students have to follow during their dog therapy session where interactions must be in a non-public space in order to closely monitor any distracting outside influences. </p><p><div class="powrload_9edb92"></div>

20 Things Dunkin' Donuts Employees Want You To Know
As told by a Dunkin' employee herself.

I have been working at Dunkin' Donuts for over two years, and during this time, I have progressed from regular crew member to crew coach, and finally, to shift leader. Among my great skills involving the job is my ability to deal with stressful situations, including awful customers. My boss has continuously pointed out the fact that I am able to handle these people with grace and kindness. She herself often finds that she gets snippy with rude customers, but somehow I am able to keep a straight face through these tough times.
<p>Most of the stressful people that come in are people that are just unaware of Dunkin' rules, especially the ones that visit via drive-thru. </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2477518998-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

Here is a list of things that Dunkin' Donuts workers want you to know. Read this, and you will become very well informed about the Dunkin' life!</p><h2>1. There is a standard for the amount of cream and sugar.</h2><p>Small is 2, medium is 3, large is 4, and extra-large is 5. If you ask for a small coffee with cream and sugar, and we repeat back two and two, don't correct us. We're right. (The same goes for the number of shots/swirls we put in.)</p><h2>2. If you don't say whether your coffee is hot or iced, we assume it is hot.</h2><p>We thrive on being fast, so it really drives us nuts when we have to remake a coffee because you never specified whether it was hot or iced. Tell us, or we won't know. We also lose money if we charged you for a hot and you wanted iced, which makes us even angrier.</p><h2>3. Lattes are espresso and milk.</h2><h2><img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbWVkaWEucmJsLm1zL2ltYWdlP3U9JTJGZmlsZXMlMkYyMDE3JTJGMDElMkYxOCUyRjYzNjIwMzUxMTEzMTU2NDc2MDU0NjE1NzcwMF9naXBoeS5naWYmaG89aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZhejYxNjU3OC52by5tc2VjbmQubmV0JnM9MzIxJmg9NzMzNzI3NTlhNThjMDgyZTZlZWQ5NzFhMmQ5MjhkNGI2NjhlN2M0NTNlNzEyMDkzZjJjMzYxYjUyY2ViYTFmMSZzaXplPTk4MHgmYz0zMDQ5NDE1NTYiLCJleHBpcmVzX2F0IjoxNjMxMjE3NDY1fQ.ZWoo7xjn6aO4BK6OAbTNgKlaEubJhq05SCNM8U9Lma4/img.jpg" id="03817" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="eb1592c7a8d0c0e39a420a7d4eb0710e"></h2><p>They don't come “light and sweet." They don't come with cream. The only choice you have is whole milk or skim milk, regular or decaf. We can add sugar if you like, but it isn't standard, so you have to ask if you want it.</p><h2>4. “Regular" has more than one meaning.</h2><p>A lot of people tend to order their coffee regular, then get mad when we ask exactly how their coffee is. To some people, “regular" refers to original blend, as opposed to decaf or dark roast. To others, it means hot rather than iced. And to others, it simply means regular cream and sugar. So just be specific and we will make it right.</p><h2>5. Bagels, croissants, and English muffins, etc. are supposed to come toasted.</h2><p>If you order a bagel with cream cheese, it will come toasted. It's standard. Make sure you tell us if you don't want it toasted, or else you will be disappointed and with a toasted bagel.</p><h2>6. If you order a Coolatta, iced latte, or hot chocolate, tell us if you want whipped cream.</h2><p>It doesn't come with it, and we are only supposed to give it upon request. Some people are nice and ask if you want it, but technically we are supposed to withhold it unless you request it.</p><h2>7. Combos go by meat, not bread.</h2><p>For example, at my Dunkin' a #5 is a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel and a #7 is a ham, egg, and cheese English muffin. If you want bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin, don't order the #7 with bacon, order the #5 on an English muffin. The meat makes the combo, not the bread.</p><h2>8. If the combo comes with hash browns, and you order the combo, it comes with hash browns.</h2><p>As my boss always says, they wouldn't ask you at McDonald's if you wanted fries with your number 5. A combo number comes with them, just like most of Dunkin's combos come with hash. If you don't want the hash browns, don't order it by number, order it by the sandwich. It's not a combo number if you're not getting the combo.</p><h2>9. Flavored cream isn't a thing.</h2><p><strong></strong>We don't have 10 different flavored creams that we pour into your coffee. It's a flavor shot, and we put it in before adding the coffee. Also, we don't have ten different pots of different flavors. We would waste so much coffee that way.</p><h2>10. There is no such thing as “half" a sugar or cream.</h2><p>Every Dunkin' uses machinery to dispense cream, milk, and sugar. If you ask for half a cream, and someone tells you that's what you're getting, they're lying. Unless they pour it out, which they might do if they don't care about speed, you are getting one cream. It's a machine with predetermined settings. Same goes for sugar. Don't be mean about it, we're just being honest.</p><h2>11. Decaf coffee still has caffeine in it.</h2><p><strong></strong>I repeat, DECAF COFFEE STILL HAS CAFFEINE IN IT. I hate when people use the excuse that they're allergic to caffeine in order to get decaf coffee. If you're allergic to caffeine, don't drink it at all, because decaf doesn't mean caffeine-free. It's just a reduced amount. However, if you want decaf, just order it. We will give it to you.</p><h2>12. We are on a timer.</h2><p>Every Dunkin's success is measured by how fast their drive-thru is. The Dunkin' I work at is the fastest in our company, which is comprised of over 300 Dunkin' Donuts in the Eastern United States. We work hard for that timer. Please do not mess it up with large orders. If you don't know what you want, just come inside. You won't be rushed, and you will be able to look carefully at all of our products and really think about what you want.</p><h2>13. You don't need to talk to the manager for everything.</h2><p>Although the manager does need to deal with large issues, not everything needs to be solved by addressing them. My boss becomes annoyed when a customer demands to talk to her when she's busy, and then discovers that it was an easily fixable situation. We have crew coaches and shift leaders that are capable of fixing drinks, giving refunds, etc. We will tell our manager anything that they need to know, but not all problems require a manager in order to be fixed.</p><h2>14. We are not Starbucks.</h2><p>While Dunkin' has introduced <a href="https://news.dunkindonuts.com/news/new-year-new-espresso-choice:-dunkin-donuts-serves-up-new-americano" target="_blank">Americanos and Macchiatos</a>, we still do not offer the same products as Starbucks. We do not carry frappucinos, grande or venti sizes, or anything that's “skinny." But we do have some equivalents. Coolattas come in coffee flavors. You can get small, medium, large, or sometimes extra-large beverages. We have latte lites, which are made with skim milk. If you are a Starbucks regular and want to try something similar, just ask and we can recommend something to you.</p><h2>15. We are required to up-sell.</h2><p>People always get frustrated when we offer them food with their coffee or drinks with their food. We have a job to do, and I don't want to get yelled at because you don't want to be asked if you would like to try a donut. I just want to do my job right.</p><h2>16. We hate when you talk on the phone in the drive-thru.</h2><p>Don't do it. Just don't. It's rude, disrespectful, and annoying. It also makes it difficult to keep our time low.</p><h2>17. Don't have a passenger order.</h2><p>It is super difficult to hear them, so it's best just to have the driver say whatever the rest of the car wants.</p><h2>18. If we repeat something back, please listen.</h2><p>You don't want the wrong coffee. We don't want to remake a coffee. If you listen when we repeat the order back, we can ensure you get what you want. I can't stress this one more; so many people drive off without ever listening to a word the order-taker says. If you listen, then we can make sure you get exactly what you want!</p><h2>19. Respect the store policies.</h2><p>Different stores have different rules. My store forbids more than one order via drive-thru. We are also required to charge for extra cups and cups of water. Please don't fight back or complain — 99.9% of the time you are talking to someone who has no control over the rules. We just want to keep our jobs.</p><h2>20. Fill out the surveys.</h2><p>At the bottom of every receipt, there is a link to a survey online. Fill that out, and you can get a free donut (or whatever other product your local Dunkin' offers). Please do these; it may seem like a simple thing, but it means the world to us to know what we are doing right (or wrong).</p><p>Overall, respect and common sense go a long way. We try our best to offer the best service possible, but it can be difficult when customers do not know the basics. If you follow these simple tips and go in knowing your stuff, we appreciate it way more than you know. Just try to stay light and sweet!</p><p><br></p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><script type="text/javascript">amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0";
