It's summer 2k18 and its that time to hit the beach again.

For those looking for a wonderful sunset and marvelous scenery, point pleasant is the place to go. Nestled in a secure neighborhood, there's so much it has to offer. Coffee shops, bars, Boardwalk restaurants, you name it- Point Pleasant has it.

From the Music festivals, to the bars, to the coffee shops, boardwalk performers and games, South jersey beaches sure have a way of making you never want to leave. It's truly a tourist's dream and a photographer's playground.

Less traffic

Unlike the north, South jersey is free flowing and easy to navigate.

The reason why people keep coming back to the shore is.....because they can, with ease. The Garden state parkway heading south is always a smooth ride, making it easier for people to make it to the beach in less than 45 minutes* (if coming from the surrounding Newark area). Once you get to south jersey, places like Belmar and Asbury park have a low amount of traffic thus, gives you more time to enjoy the area before you leave.

The Weather ofcourse

The weather in Asbury park was just amazing that day.

This is pretty much a no-brainer but the weather in south jersey is a big factor on why people travel from so far to have fun at the beach. Look at it this way, would you rather stay in the house during this summer heat or go to the beach (that's less than 45 minutes away)to take full advantage of the weather? I think most would choose the latter. These beaches generate millions in revenue every summer according to statistics and its no wonder why.

Do you think the jersey shore has the best beaches? or does the north have something better to offer? Let me know, you can email me at Mitchapondi723@gmail.com for suggestions.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
