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.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
