Shoobie Season?
http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/pressofatlanticcity.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/2/15/2152f51e-5ceb-5f93-b478-e8062e1f5163/5223c45ac440e.image.jpg?resize=730%2C465

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!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
