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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
