5 Diners You Must Visit When You Visit New Jersey

Living in New Jersey, I grew up eating at diners and they are singlehandedly my favorite place to eat. I have not had the chance to hit every diner in Jersey, but of the many I've been too, these are some of my favorites. Sometimes people have a meaning behind their favorite restaurant and that's why that's their go-to spot, but diners are different. Yes, they are all the same food, but it's who you take to your favorite diner that makes it your favorite place to eat. If you do end up visiting any of these diners in the future, remember it doesn't matter which diner you visit as long as it's a genuine Jersey diner that always has a booth open when you ask for it.

1. Viki's Diner - 110 E Broad St, Westfield NJ

This diner was my go-to spot when my childhood friends and I got together on Saturday mornings. It's one of the smaller diners, but its breakfast wraps and omelets leave you stuffed and smiling with the biggest smile on your face.

2. Tropicana Diner and Bakery - 545 Morris Ave, Elizabeth NJ

This is one of my family's favorite diners and personally, I would say that the Tropicana Diner and Bakery makes one of the best bacon cheeseburgers in the world. I also recommend getting their chocolate chip pancakes, but with french fries instead of home fries.

3. Florham Park Diner - 182 Ridgedale Ave, Florham Park NJ

This has recently become my closest diner and I have been going there a lot lately. I would say since the very first time I ate there, I was very impressed. Florham Park Diner has a very welcoming environment, like any diner, but it has a little bit more of a homey feel compared to others. If you are eating at this particular diner, I would recommend any of their wraps or sandwiches, as well as their coffee and homemade desserts.

4. Westfield Diner - 309 N Ave E, Westfield NJ

Westfield Diner is one diner that I have been going to for many years. As a result, it's one of my favorites for many reasons. For a while, I would only get chicken fingers with fries, cheeseburgers or pizza burgers (and this diner always makes some of best burgers). I really enjoyed a good burger and fries, so finding a diner that has a great pizza burger is harder than you think.

5. Milburn Diner - 72 Essex St, Millburn NJ

Millburn Diner is a diner my family usually went to on Sundays for either brunch or an early lunch. I usually ordered something off of the breakfast menu, but I have gotten an eggplant parm sandwich a few times and it was pretty good. This diner also has great coffee and cheesecake for dessert.

Each of these diners have a little something that makes them special. I would say they have some of the very best diner-food you could get in Jersey and I would recommend any of these places to someone who is looking for a good place to eat.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
