The 6 Best Things About Long Beach Island

Anybody who has visited or lives near Long Beach Island knows just how great these South Jersey towns are. I have lived ten minutes from LBI my entire life, and going out of state for college has made me appreciate just how great living right near the beach is. Here are some of the best things about Long Beach Island.

1. In the off season when the street lights get turned off

There’s nothing better than when the street lights finally get turned off and it doesn’t take a ridiculous amount of time to get from one end of the island to the other. Locals can’t wait until the lights get turned off and the speed limits are less strict.

2. The Chegg

Basically anybody who has ever visited Long Beach Island has been to the Chicken or the Egg, more commonly known as the Chegg. The best thing about the Chegg -besides the food- is that it’s open 24 hours. Need somewhere to get chicken wings or French toast at 3 a.m.? The Chegg won’t question why you wanted a Fat Chegg in the middle of the night. The Chegg is here for you.


3. “Old Barney”

The Barnegat Lighthouse, also known as Old Barney, has become pretty much a staple of Long Beach Island. It’s such a beautiful place to just walk around or have a scenic photo shoot. For LBI newcomers and locals alike, the lighthouse is always a must see.


4. When the bennies finally leave

The summer is obviously always great on the island, but there’s nothing like when everyone leaves and it doesn’t take two whole hours to drive a 10 minute distance. The traffic can get pretty crazy during the summer so it’s always a relief when Labor Day hits and you don’t have to deal with the traffic again until Memorial Day.

5. The beach

This one may be a given just because it’s called Long Beach Island, but the beach is really just so amazing.


6. The sunrises and sunsets

The only time it is worth getting up at 5 a.m. in the summer is going to see an LBI sunrise. There’s nothing better than a trip to the beach to start the day and see the sun rise, and the best end to the day is always sitting bay side and watching the sun set.

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.
