Despite what many people who don't live in New Jersey may think, NJ is filled with beautiful landscape and destinations that you don't want to miss out on seeing.

1. Barnegat Lighthouse, Barnegat New Jersey

Barnegat Lighthouse is located on the northern point of Long Beach Island, a popular beach destination in the summer for New Jersey residents. For only $3, you can climb all 217 steps for a breathtaking view (and a good workout)!

2. Duke Farms, Hillsborough New Jersey

Duke farms is the perfect place to relax, while also getting some Insta-worthy pictures! From fields of sunflowers to rushing waterfalls, there is something for everyone here.

3. Buttermilk Falls, Layton New Jersey

This one is for the more adventurous because of the steep climb to get to the top, or for the hiking lovers, a 5 mile hike. There are a number of ways to get to the waterfall depending on how adventurous you choose to be!

4. The Red Mill, Clinton New Jersey

The Red Mill is perfect for anyone that is interested in photography, because this scenic destination is one of the most photographed places in the United States!

5. Grounds For Sculpture, Hamilton New Jersey

Grounds for Sculpture is filled with interesting yet bizarre sculptures that are spread throughout the 42-acre park, both outside and inside of a museum.

6. The Palisades Cliffs, Bergen County New Jersey

Located in Alpine, these cliffs give you the perfect view of the New Jersey/New York state line.

7. The Shore

If you aren't into anything from hiking to art, Jersey always has its beaches to offer. New Jersey is known for its beaches, and while some have more of a party atmosphere, there are plenty that could not be more serene, for example, Longport, Avalon, and Lavallette.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
