10 Reasons Why I'd Rather Vacation At The Jersey Shore Than An Island
Jordan Nimeh

In the summer everyone loves going to the beach but its all about where you go right? It is pretty cool to go to the Bahamas, Florida, or Mexico, but personally I'd rather be at the Jersey Shore. Whether you're in Ocean City, Stone Harbor, Longport, Avalon, Sea Isle or all of the others... they rock! There is so much to do but yet peace and quiet relaxation. Here's 10 reasons that anyone who goes to the Jersey Shore can relate to:

1. The ice cream

Yes you can get ice cream anywhere but personally I believe its much better at the shore. From Johnny B Goods, Kohr Bros, or all the others they are truly delicious.

2. The memories

If you've been spending your summers at the shore since you were little, you've built up a lifetime of memories that you truly cherish. Yes you can make memories in Florida but you prefer to continue the good times at the shore.

3. Bike rides

Everyone at the shore has/loves their beach bike. I know I look forward to long morning bike rides or nighttime bike rides.

4. The pizza

Pizza is HUGE at the shore. You can't leave without eating at Manco and Manco's.

5. Concerts

There are always beach concerts down at the shore which is a great time to catch up with friends/family while enjoying music.

6. The shopping

The shops are adorable whether you are in Cape May, Stone Harbor, or Ocean city. You will find your wallet empty and your wardrobe full.

7. Salt water taffy/fudge

I know that I walk past the fudge store giving out samples and take about 15... but going in the store is awesome too, because the taffy and fudge is yummy!

8. The beach

The water may not be the warmest, but I grew up boogie boarding and catching waves (and rays) in the water. The sand is also some of the softest at the jersey shore!

9. The view

The sunrise early in the morning and the sunset is one of the most beautiful you will find anywhere.

10. The memories and time spent with family

The Jersey Shore is the best place to spend time with family and friends and create some great memories.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
