10 Reasons Why I'd Rather Vacation At The Jersey Shore Than An Island

In the summer everyone loves going to the beach but its all about where you go right? It is pretty cool to go to the Bahamas, Florida, or Mexico, but personally I'd rather be at the Jersey Shore. Whether you're in Ocean City, Stone Harbor, Longport, Avalon, Sea Isle or all of the others... they rock! There is so much to do but yet peace and quiet relaxation. Here's 10 reasons that anyone who goes to the Jersey Shore can relate to:

1. The ice cream

Yes you can get ice cream anywhere but personally I believe its much better at the shore. From Johnny B Goods, Kohr Bros, or all the others they are truly delicious.

2. The memories

If you've been spending your summers at the shore since you were little, you've built up a lifetime of memories that you truly cherish. Yes you can make memories in Florida but you prefer to continue the good times at the shore.

3. Bike rides

Everyone at the shore has/loves their beach bike. I know I look forward to long morning bike rides or nighttime bike rides.

4. The pizza

Pizza is HUGE at the shore. You can't leave without eating at Manco and Manco's.

5. Concerts

There are always beach concerts down at the shore which is a great time to catch up with friends/family while enjoying music.

6. The shopping

The shops are adorable whether you are in Cape May, Stone Harbor, or Ocean city. You will find your wallet empty and your wardrobe full.

7. Salt water taffy/fudge

I know that I walk past the fudge store giving out samples and take about 15... but going in the store is awesome too, because the taffy and fudge is yummy!

8. The beach

The water may not be the warmest, but I grew up boogie boarding and catching waves (and rays) in the water. The sand is also some of the softest at the jersey shore!

9. The view

The sunrise early in the morning and the sunset is one of the most beautiful you will find anywhere.

10. The memories and time spent with family

The Jersey Shore is the best place to spend time with family and friends and create some great memories.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
