10 things you know if stone harbor, NJ is your summer happy place

I have been coming to Stone Harbor every year since I was born and it has surely become a large part of my life. Stone Harbor has given me some of my closest friends, best memories, and always a great tan. Here are a few things Stone Harbor has taught me after all these years!

1. Springers will always be the best ice cream place.

And you probably have your favorite flavor that you are willing to wait in line for no matter what.

2. You'll meet some lifelong friends.

I met four of my closest friends down the shore when I was a little kid and we are all still close!

3. The fourth of July is always the best day.

Between the morning festivities on 80th Street, the sandcastle contests, and seeing all of the lifeguards decorate their stands it is definitely a fun and festive day.

4. You can't help but to roll your windows down coming over 96th Street bridge to take in the salty air.

It is just a necessity whenever you're driving into any beach town – that smell is one of the best!

5. There are bikers EVERYWHERE.

Ever since they made a bike lane all throughout Second Avenue you will always see bikers no matter the time of day, it's just the best form of transportation down the shore.

6. Everyone is so friendly.

Whenever you pass someone on the sidewalk they'll always say hi to you.

7. You spend countless nights walking through town.

Whether you're just window shopping or going for ice cream you'll probably find yourself buying an over prices t-shirt and finding as many free fudge samples as possible.

8. There are some VERY nice cars and houses that you'll dream of having one day – unless it's your house already.

There is always a new multi-million-dollar house being built with a nice Porsche or Tesla sitting in the drive way that you'll aspire to have one day.

9. The Wawa in town will always come in clutch.

Whether it is for a late-night snack, some free 'Wawa water' or even a quick milk run when you realize you're all out, it always comes in handy.

10. You've taken a picture on the lifeguard stand after 5pm at least once.

Throughout my childhood, all the moms would always line their kids up on the lifeguard stand after the lifeguards went home and those are pictures we will cherish forever.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
