I Just Found The Best Doughnut Place

And no, it's not Krispy Kreme.

I Just Found The Best Doughnut Place
Sarah Fetter

I decided at last minute that I would make the 2-hour drive to Ocean City, New Jersey, the beach that's most likely the closest to me. It was the first time this summer that I would stay for more than a day, so I decided to make it worth my while and do some shopping on Asbury Avenue while I was there.

Let me tell you, my feet led me to the cutest little doughnut joint in town. Fractured Prune is located at 1225 Asbury Avenue in OCNJ, and it thrives off of made-to-order specialty doughnuts. They have lots of other locations located on their website: https://fracturedprune.com/.

The shop has 19 glazes:

  • Banana
  • Blackberry
  • Blueberry
  • Caramel
  • Cherry
  • Chocolate
  • Honey
  • Key Lime
  • Lemon
  • Maple
  • Marshmallow
  • Mocha
  • Mint
  • Mixed berry
  • Orange
  • Peach
  • Raspberry
  • Strawberry
  • Vanilla

And 13 toppings:

  • Chocolate Sprinkles
  • Cinnamon & Sugar
  • Cookie Crumbs
  • Crumbled Bacon
  • Graham Crackers
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Mini Chocolate Chips
  • Mini Candy-Coated Chocolates
  • Mini Marshmallows
  • Powdered Sugar
  • Rainbow Sprinkles
  • Sea Salt
  • Vanilla Wafers
They also have a list of pre-made combinations in the event you can't decide. I know I definitely couldn't.

I got a half dozen just to try, each one completely different from the last. I got glazes I never knew could be put on...topping combinations that I otherwise never would have tried. I also got a caramel macchiato and it was a great partner to my warm doughnut. You can also save them and reheat later, or just eat them at room temp if you prefer.

I found their name kinda quirky, but my questions were answered when I read their founding sign on the wall. Apparently, there was an older lady in OC, Maryland named Prunella Shriek, known as "Fractured Prunella" for the broken bones she suffered competing in traditionally men's sports even into her 70s. The doughnut shop aims to celebrate individuality and spunk with each doughnut creation. They even have a doughnut dedicated to the legend herself, named Ms. Prunella respectively, with blueberry glaze and cinnamon sugar on top. Pretty cool!

I surprisingly found locations in West Chester and Audobon, PA, which are insanely close to me...so catch me waking up every morning at school to a delicious FP doughnut!! *insert heart eyes here*

AI music threatens creativity

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.
