Despite what many people who don't live in New Jersey may think, NJ is filled with beautiful landscape and destinations that you don't want to miss out on seeing.

1. Barnegat Lighthouse, Barnegat New Jersey

Barnegat Lighthouse is located on the northern point of Long Beach Island, a popular beach destination in the summer for New Jersey residents. For only $3, you can climb all 217 steps for a breathtaking view (and a good workout)!

2. Duke Farms, Hillsborough New Jersey

Duke farms is the perfect place to relax, while also getting some Insta-worthy pictures! From fields of sunflowers to rushing waterfalls, there is something for everyone here.

3. Buttermilk Falls, Layton New Jersey

This one is for the more adventurous because of the steep climb to get to the top, or for the hiking lovers, a 5 mile hike. There are a number of ways to get to the waterfall depending on how adventurous you choose to be!

4. The Red Mill, Clinton New Jersey

The Red Mill is perfect for anyone that is interested in photography, because this scenic destination is one of the most photographed places in the United States!

5. Grounds For Sculpture, Hamilton New Jersey

Grounds for Sculpture is filled with interesting yet bizarre sculptures that are spread throughout the 42-acre park, both outside and inside of a museum.

6. The Palisades Cliffs, Bergen County New Jersey

Located in Alpine, these cliffs give you the perfect view of the New Jersey/New York state line.

7. The Shore

If you aren't into anything from hiking to art, Jersey always has its beaches to offer. New Jersey is known for its beaches, and while some have more of a party atmosphere, there are plenty that could not be more serene, for example, Longport, Avalon, and Lavallette.

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?

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'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.
