8 Essential Items To Bring to the Beach This Summer
Christina Marie Shehata

Just some essential items for your ideal beach days this summer

1. Not one, but two towels

Let's face it, when you get out of the ocean you don't look like a VS model in a magazine with your eyes wide open and hair perfectly slicked back. Instead, after you come out of the ocean you may have just got knocked out by a wave so your hair is disheveled and your eyes may be burning from the salt water. So when you bring two towels to the Beach you have a towel to dry off and a towel to use as a pillow.

2. A Sheet

Probably the easiest material to get sand off of because it's light and sand cannot get ingrained in it. Also, a cute sheet calls for a cute laying down beach picture...because pics or the beach didn't happen.

3. Hand Wipes

Nothing worse than the feeling of dryness on the palms of your hands from the salt water. Maybe I'm the only one, who knows, but the hand wipes come in handy for me even after applying sunblock too.

4. Sunblock


Ya really just want to prevent skin cancer as much as possible. A bad burn will also make you extremely miserable. Also, prevent the wrinkles!!! I'm preaching to the choir here. 10/10 recommend Neutrogenia spray mist.

5. Floppy Hat

Well, because they're cute, okay?

6. A speaker

Bring a waterproof blue tooth speaker to play your favorite music while soaking up the sun.

7. Chapstick with SPF

Sun burned lips....NO THANK YOU. Sun Bum, 10/10 recommend.

8. And MOST IMPORTANTLY, A WAWA sub

If you live in a state that has Wawa, like Jersey, you may agree that a beach day accompanied by a Wawa sub is a good beach day.

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.
