Go to a park

Going to the park where you're able to walk or even sit at a distance from each other is a great way to get out of the house, be safe, and still see your friends. Having a picnic, joining for book club, or even just catching up on this weeks hottest gossip, you're still able to spend time with your friends while being safe and protecting yourself and others!

Set up a Zoom Call

Zoom is a great way to stay in touch with friends as well as family. It's a simple FaceTime like app but allows you to share your screen so you could watch TV or movies with your friends. Staying in touch face to face without having to leave your house can be a godsend for many people. Zoom is a great way to stay in touch while still being in the comfort of your own home.

Drive-Ins are a great way to see a movie from the comfort of your own car and being able to socially distance yourself from other movie goers. You can find a list of local drive-ins in your area by just googling "Drive-In theater near me". Remember to bring popcorn and your snack of choice!

Take a trip to the beach

Going to the beach is always the best part of summer! Luckily, beaches in New Jersey have opened to it's possible to take a trip down the shore this summer despite quarantine. Setting your towels, beach chairs, and tents a safe distance from others while also bringing your own refreshments will ensure a safe and fun trip to the beach this summer.


Being safe and having fun this summer is a top priority. Remember to continue to safely distance yourself from others and wear a mask in public. Together, we can continue to flatten the curve and have an awesome summer!

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college.
