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!

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!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.
