Calling all Rehoboth Beach lovers!

14 Things To Love About Rehoboth Beach
tripadvisor.com

I've been going to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware every summer since I was a kid. It is without a doubt my second home. If you love Rehoboth beach, you probably love these 14 things too!

1. Dolle’s Salt Water Taffy

Open since 1927 in Rehoboth, stopping by Dolle’s while you’re here is always a must. Don’t forget the annual family pic next to the sign while you grab some of their to-die-for caramel popcorn.

2. The Boardwalk

I don’t even need to say anything else.

3. The Candy Kitchen

They’re scattered all over Rehoboth, but the best one is right on the corner of the Boardwalk!

4. Watching a Sunrise

Once you’ve finally dragged yourself out of bed, it’s fun to wander out onto the deserted boardwalk and grab a donut and some coffee from that one little store that happens to be open. Just beware once you set your breakfast down on the beach… The seagulls are always waiting.

5. Funland!

If you’ve been here, you get the hype. It’s the perfect way to spend the night after a long day at the beach. You’ve probably been on almost every ride. From the Paratrooper to The Sea Dragon that always looks like it’ll hit the roof of that house out back (It never has), to that awesome kiddie ride you used to go on with the little boats that circled around that slightly creepy, and rusted, mermaid statue. (They repainted her by the way).

And lets not forget the Haunted Mansion! Gets me every time, (I'm in the gray).

6. Beach House Hunting

Surrounding Rehoboth beach, tucked away from the boardwalk and all things touristy, are the most picturesque little beach side neighborhoods. If you don’t own or rent a house here, you sure wish you did. Sometimes you even walk or bike ride through them while you visit.

7. Grotto Pizza


If you’ve been to Rehoboth, you’ve eaten here. Their pizza is something else.

8. Thrasher’s Fries and Kohr Brothers


While on the subject of food, why not, right? If pizza, saltwater taffy and popcorn didn’t do it for you, French fries and ice cream sure will. Thrasher’s Fries and Kohr Bros ice cream have spots set up all along the boardwalk, just waiting for you to give in… And those fries really are worth the seagulls following you.

9. Rehoboth Avenue

This is like the “Main street” of Rehoboth beach. There are tons of awesome shops that range from clothing stores, tacky (but awesome) beach gear, and must try restaurants to old-fashioned Portrait studios; you name it, it’s here. You always designate a day of your trip to window shop, and let's not forget the beautiful view of the ocean in front of you!

10. Penny Lane Mall

This is the cutest little nook of shops, located right off Rehoboth Ave. There is homemade lemonade, a toy store, jewelry, flower arrangements and more. You love to pass through Penny Lane while out and about.

11. Watching Live Music


There’s always some kind of live music act being put on at the Rehoboth beach bandstand, and you love plopping down on one of the many white benches with an ice cream cone to watch.

12. Mini Golfing is a Must

Don’t know what else to do? Mini golfing is the answer. My personal fave is located at the Sea Shell Shop.

13. Family Friendly

Sure every place has its oddballs, but Rehoboth beach is the perfect combo of summer tourist destination and relaxed beachside town all mixed into one.

14. The Jolly Trolley


Whether you've actually been on one of these, or have just seen them around, you can agree, these "Jolly Trollies" are everywhere.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
