15 Things I Love About OCNJ

Ocean City, New Jersey is my absolute favorite place to vacation at and I have been going there every summer for as long as I can remember. Here are 15 things that I'm looking forward to when going back this summer! (I'm sure locals can relate too!)

1. Manco and Manco's pizza

And you still feel weird calling it that... it will always be Mack and Manco's in your heart.

2. Getting your Summer 2016 items from 7th Street Surf Shop.

3. Saying you're going "down the shore," not to the beach.

My favorite thing is getting weird looks from the people that don't go to OCNJ when I say that.

4. Going on Double Shot.


Best ride ever, hands down.

5. Reminiscing about the wooden playground that you got to go to every year as a kid.


And being sad that it looks NOTHING like this anymore.

6. Wondering what kind of shady things go on in the Surf Mall.


I mean, come on.

7. Playing mini-golf, because there are SO MANY options!


Congo Falls, the Medieval Fantasy with blacklights and Haunted Golf are my personal favorites.

8. Seeing the sunset.


9. Know that it's worth it having to pay to go on the beach.


It can be a bit of a pain, but you get to collect the beach tags every year and paying for it means that it is kept so much cleaner!

10. Going shopping on Asbury Avenue.


I love doing this on rainy days where you don't really want to go to the beach and boardwalk.

11. The boardwalk!


12. Getting frozen custard from Kohr Brothers.

13. Going on morning bike/surrey rides.


14. Getting your favorite salt water taffy and fudge.


Whether it's Shriver's or Fralinger's.

15. THE FOOD.


Pizza, Johnson's popcorn, ice cream, fudge, taffy, candy, seafood etc... what more could you want?

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.
