Summer is approaching, its time to make plans! Visit the Jersey Shore to make your summer the best one.

Belmar

billmckim

Your classic beach town. Sit on the beach and then visit some of Belmars finest eateries. Grab a slice at 3 Brothers Pizza, and acai bowl at Stay Gold Cafe, or a burrito at 10th Ave Burrito.

Asbury Park

Tom Frandsen

There are countless things to do in Asbury, but the beach and boardwalk are perfect to get a tan, grab a drink, and do some shopping.

Summer Stage Stone Pony

Saloni Mehta

A summer essential. Bands such as Sublime, Dirty Heads, and many more play killer concerts at Stone Pony's summer stage in Asbury Park, NJ.

Sissy's

Julia Mortimer

An Atlantic Highland's gem. Early mornings after watching the sunrise at the beach. Nothing beats eating breakfast while looking out on the water.

Free Beaches

Julia Mortimer

It is getting increasingly more difficult to find free beaches, but when you do, its a gem! Hint hint...Monmouth Beach!

Asbury Lanes

Don't have anything to do with your Friday night? Go bowling and eat diner food with your friends!

Wonder Bar's Yappy Hour

Nichole Grimaldi

Yes, you heard me right. Yappy Hour is a special that the Wonder Bar holds on summer days for dog owners and their pups to mingle and enjoy a cold one.

Sandy Hook Sunsets & Beach Concerts

Lauren Mortimer

Sandy Hook is the place to go for that picture perfect sunset. They also hold beach concerts that you can enjoy with friends and family every Wednesday night! Sunset + live music = happiness.

Red Bank Movies & Jazz In The Park

Grab your favorite take-out food and head to Riverside Gardens Park for that classic movie or some smooth jazz to end that sunny summer day.

 Cape May

One of the most iconic beach towns along the Jersey coast. It is the best boardwalk, with deliciously famous restaurants, such as The Ugly Mug and The Mad Batter.

Inkwell Coffee House

Lauren Labarbera

Craving coffee and comfort food late at night? Inkwell is the place to be! They are open until 2:30 AM most nights so make some memories with your best friends. I recommend the Dutch blended coffee, they are known for it!

Nagle's

funnyfacects

In the quint historic beach town of Ocean Grove lies Nagle's. An apothecary turned restaurant/ice cream shop. Lines wrap around the block for the best ice cream in town! What better way to cool off from the beach?

Manco N Manco Pizza

yeahpromise

We all know the New York/ New Jersey areas are known to have the best pizza. One of those great spots is located on Ocean City's boardwalk. Can't go wrong with a great slice.

The Music Man

You've never eaten icecream like this! Enjoy your cone with interactive performances in Lavallette.

 Rook Coffee

Julia Grimaldi

Rook Coffee is known to serve the best cup of joe in Monmouth County. They are quickly opening up new locations, so if you ever find yourself along the jersey shore, run to the nearest Rook!

The Jersey Shore is a great place to visit if you want a fun weekend away. With wonderful beaches and great food, what else could you need for your summer to be the best one?

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

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."

Christmas tree
Librarian Lavender

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. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. 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. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
