There's no place like home and there's nothing quite like summers in Jersey. If you're from Central Jersey, you completely understand these 10 summer problems:

1. Dealing with bennies.

Enough said, moving on!

2. The lines for your favorite food places being SO. LONG.

I remember when Playa Bowls was a little kiosk right on the corner of 8th Ave. in Belmar! If you try going in the summer, or even if it's remotely warm out, the line is out the door and around the corner.

3. Having your nice 10-minute ride to the beach ruined by all the traffic...

4. ... and then finding parking at the beach.

An actual nightmare. Early bird gets the parking spots!

5. Going to the boardwalk one night and running into people you don't want to see.

AKA people from your high school.

5. Attending every concert at the Summer Stage.

6. Seeing the sunrise and sunset is a weekly thing.

Nothing better, especially when you grab some pork roll after.

7. JERSEY. CLUB.

Respect it.

8. If you work a day shift, you run out to get to your favorite beach ASAP.

I know this too well.

9. Late nights at Inkwell.

Dutch coffee, please.

10. Crying because the summer goes by so quickly and you'll have to go back to school so soon and leave your Central Jersey summer.

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.
