10 Ways To Know You Are A Shore Lover
Anneliese Phillips

The beach has a way of calming you. You automatically feel stress-free and happy whenever you hear those waves crashing down onto the sand with the sun gleaming down on your face. It's my favorite place to be, especially in the summer. If you are a shore lover like me, you can agree that all of these things make it the best.

1. The food.

From your favorite pizza shop to the ice cream parlor you have been going to since you were a kid, your mouth waters just thinking about it. And it brings you immediate comfort and happiness.

2. Spending hours and hours at the beach/bay.

Whether you love going early in the morning and staying super late at the beach or going jet skiing at the bay. Nothing beats that time to relax and get your tan on.

3. Watching the sunrise/sunset.

Being down the shore makes you really appreciate the sunrise and sunsets. Waking up really early with your friends in your sweats to see the sun rising or walking along the water when the sun is finally setting. You gain a new appreciation for it down the shore.

4. The boardwalk.

Wherever you may be when you are down the shore, there is always going to be small unique stores and knick-knack places, especially with the boardwalk. And you obviously can’t forget about the rides and the surplus amount of people.

5. Looking forward to the end of the week.

You may be working or at school until summer officially starts. But every week you are counting down for that Friday when you can leave all your responsibilities and breathe in that salty air. When you finally get out of work, you roll down those windows and blast your favorite jams.

6. People watching.

You get people from ALL over who gather to the shore. It can be funny and interesting to see how people are and how they act in different social situations. You’ll see a lot of people not wearing shoes and a lot of people half naked.

7. Reuniting with your ‘shore’ friends.

Your friends down the shore are a lot different than the ones at home. You know that you could go weeks without talking to them and reunite as if it hadn’t been that long at all. You can fall into the easy-going routine of going to the beach and drinking a cold one with them.

8. Coming back from the beach and taking a long nap.

After taking a shower and putting on fresh clothes, a nap is the best feeling. The sun and swimming can exhaust you immensely so it's nice to finally rest.

9. There's always something to do.

You can never really get bored down the shore because there is so much to do. You can go to the beach, go to the boardwalk, go surfing, go kayaking, go jet-skiing, etc. Even if it’s raining, you can go to the arcade or hang around with friends.

10. You can go out to bars, pubs, clubs, etc.

Depending on where you are down the shore, you have the option of either relaxing at home with a drink or going out and having fun. You get the best of both worlds.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
