Five Things To Look Forward To About The Summer At The Jersey Shore

Apr 21, 2015

As the school year comes to an end, its almost time for summer! The Jersey Shore for some of us is the spot we relax at all summer. For me, I call Avalon, New Jersey home for the summer. Growing up at the Jersey Shore has made my summers over the years unforgettable. Going to school in North Carolina many people think the Jersey Shore is actually like the television show, The Jersey Shore, which is far from the truth. Here are a few things every shore-goer waits all year to enjoy!

1. Beach All Day, Every Day
The best part about the summer is being able to go to the beach all day, every day! While the beaches in Avalon, Sea Isle and Stone Harbor you need a beach tag for the summer. All the beaches in Wildwood are free. All the beaches are always clean, fully equipped with lifeguards and even the Ice Cream man comes every hour to satisfy your ice cream craving.

2. Ice Cream
Speaking of ice cream, whenever anyone comes to the shore it is always a must to go get ice cream! My personal favorite is Kohr Bros, which you can find up and down the Jersey Shore, especially on all the boardwalks.

3. Boardwalks
Not every Jersey Shore town have boardwalks but all the big towns do! Seaside, Atlantic City, Ocean City and Wildwood are all the major towns that have boardwalks. The boardwalks are major attractions during the summer season. Each boardwalk is equipped with rides, water parks, restaurants, etc.

4. Breakfast Joints
Going out to breakfast at the Jersey Shore is a must. I know I wait all year to get back to Avalon to get a PEC on an everything bagel at Avalon coffee or chocolate chip pancakes at Uncle Bill's Pancake House. There is a no better hangover cure than breakfast at the Jersey Shore.

5. Happy Hour
It's 5 o'clock somewhere right? Happy Hour is huge at the Jersey Shore. Whether your in Avalon and your going to Whitebriar Happy Hour or your in Sea Isle spending your happy hour at Ocean Drive, commonly known as The OD, your always going to have a good time. I am finally 21 this summer and I can't wait to experience my first Whitebriar Happy Hour!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
