Five Things To Look Forward To About The Summer At The Jersey Shore

As the school year comes to an end, its almost time for summer! The Jersey Shore for some of us is the spot we relax at all summer. For me, I call Avalon, New Jersey home for the summer. Growing up at the Jersey Shore has made my summers over the years unforgettable. Going to school in North Carolina many people think the Jersey Shore is actually like the television show, The Jersey Shore, which is far from the truth. Here are a few things every shore-goer waits all year to enjoy!

1. Beach All Day, Every Day
The best part about the summer is being able to go to the beach all day, every day! While the beaches in Avalon, Sea Isle and Stone Harbor you need a beach tag for the summer. All the beaches in Wildwood are free. All the beaches are always clean, fully equipped with lifeguards and even the Ice Cream man comes every hour to satisfy your ice cream craving.

2. Ice Cream
Speaking of ice cream, whenever anyone comes to the shore it is always a must to go get ice cream! My personal favorite is Kohr Bros, which you can find up and down the Jersey Shore, especially on all the boardwalks.

3. Boardwalks
Not every Jersey Shore town have boardwalks but all the big towns do! Seaside, Atlantic City, Ocean City and Wildwood are all the major towns that have boardwalks. The boardwalks are major attractions during the summer season. Each boardwalk is equipped with rides, water parks, restaurants, etc.

4. Breakfast Joints
Going out to breakfast at the Jersey Shore is a must. I know I wait all year to get back to Avalon to get a PEC on an everything bagel at Avalon coffee or chocolate chip pancakes at Uncle Bill's Pancake House. There is a no better hangover cure than breakfast at the Jersey Shore.

5. Happy Hour
It's 5 o'clock somewhere right? Happy Hour is huge at the Jersey Shore. Whether your in Avalon and your going to Whitebriar Happy Hour or your in Sea Isle spending your happy hour at Ocean Drive, commonly known as The OD, your always going to have a good time. I am finally 21 this summer and I can't wait to experience my first Whitebriar Happy Hour!

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.

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.
