Shoobie Season?

What is a "shoobie?" Many of you might not know what they are and might not even care because it does not affect you or your living area, some say they are a problem and some are not even worried about them or their actions but many are recently hurt by their shellfish and sloppy behavior.

A shoobie is a term people use to describe tourists who come to visit the shore and particularly the beaches for a day or during holidays such as fourth of July and Memorial day weekend.

This term is mostly used in South Jersey for all of the tourist who come and visit, we recently celebrated memorial day weekend and people came from all around from New York to Chicago it was unbelievable, the boardwalks were extremely packed from Atlantic City, Ocean City and lets not get started with Wild Wood.

Do not get me wrong we welcome you all with open arms and to give you the "jersey shore" experience you deserve but recently after the memorial day weekend celebration was done the shoobies all flew away like a bunch of seagulls leaving the beaches horrific, plastic cups, old food, and trash just everywhere and surprisingly not one thing in the garbage can.

It is gonna cost a lot of money to clean up what was all destroyed, they are visitors and this is our home we can not just get up and go like them, how would they like it if we went to basically their house with hundreds of our friends went and partied caused disturbances and ruined their beautiful happy place?

They would not appreciate it one bit so why would they think it's okay to come to our home and do the same exact thing? I am not writing this article to bash our visitors and make sure you do not come back, I am writing this to inform and to spread awareness to you all that it is not okay to come and just trash our home and just leave we deserve respect just as your home does.

We are more hurt than furious about these actions, we appreciate all the great business that they bring to our cities, they help keep them alive and South Jersey is one of the biggest tourist attractions that a lot of businesses work to keep them all coming back. But it is kinda hard to want you all back when you just come and destroy everything.

Like I have said before all we are asking for is a little bit of respect for our home. We appreciate you all and everything you do for our businesses to help keep them alive but the only thing that is left to say from me and our fellow residents of South Jersey is PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE clean up your act or do not come back!

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
