New Jersey home is to beautiful locations! Any one of these places would make a good day trip for you and your family.

5. Passaic River Great Falls

Known for its waterfalls and historical national park, the Great Falls are a beautiful place to bring loved ones on a nice day.

4. Van Vleck House and Gardens

Located in upper Montclair, Van Vleck House and Gardens is hard to beat for beauty and the relaxing feeling it brings to whoever decides to walk through.

3. Allaire State Park

Allaire State Park is located in Howell township and provides its visitors with a taste of the past through its 19th century restored iron works and old general store.

2. Liberty State Park

Liberty State Park is great because you get to have the beautiful view of the New York City skyline while forgetting about the chaos that is probably going on inside the city at that very moment. You get to appreciate the skyline and statue of liberty's beauty while going on a nice stroll.

1. Dukes Farms

This is by far my favorite spot in all of New Jersey. It is located in Hillsborough township and is completely free to walk through, much like many of the other places on this list. I do not want to go too into detail about this place yet because I see an article on it in my near future.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

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. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
