9 Beaches On Long Island To Check Out Before Summer Ends
Discover Long Island

Before summer comes to a close, there is still plenty of nice weather in the forecast and plenty of beaches to visit on Long Island. While everyone’s go-to may be Jones Beach or Robert Moses State Park, there are tons of other beaches to spend the day at that won’t disappoint.

1. Long Beach

Long Beach has a 2.2 mile-long boardwalk; perfect for renting or bringing bikes, or just taking a stroll. After spending the day there, you can go to Diner By the Sea, the diner with the colorful milkshakes that populate your Instagram every summer.

2. Nickerson Beach

Other than the beautiful beach, itself, Nickerson Beach has a skate park, pools, mini golf and cabanas for beach-goers to enjoy.

3. Main Beach

Main Beach in East Hampton has perfect white sand, is the best spot to find celebrities and often makes the list of best beaches in America.

4. Coopers Beach

Coopers Beach in Southampton was actually voted as the best beach in America in 2010, according to “Dr. Beach’s.”

5. Fire Island

All beaches in Fire Island are ideal for people who like the party scene and warm water. The best part of spending the day at Fire Island may not even be the beach itself; the ferry, boardwalk and lighthouse are exciting for those who have never visited.

6. Montauk

Beaches in Mountauk, such as Hither Hills State Park, are great to spend the day at after taking the drive all the way out east.

7. Point Lookout

Town Park at Point Lookout may not have as many additional things to do as the other beaches on the list, but it’s the perfect place to just relax for the day.

8. Tobay Beach

Tobay Beach, though expensive for non-residents, offers a clean beach, a water park for kids and great food.

9. Shelter Island

Shelter Island made Travel and Leisure magazine’s list of best laid-back beach towns in the Northeast. Shelter Island, located between both forks, offers great beaches, beautiful scenery and “rustic charm”, according to the magazine.

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.
