One of the things New Jersey is most known for is the Jersey shore. There are miles and miles of gorgeous beaches and fun things to do for anyone age 5 to 95. As someone who's been going to the shore for her entire life, I've amassed some opinions on the Jersey beaches. Here are my definitive top 5 New Jersey beaches.

Sea Girt

If you're looking for a beach with soft white sand and a quieter residential area, Sea Girt is the place for you. The beaches are wide and expansive, so you won't be on top of other beachgoers. Overall, super gorgeous and serene.

Bay Head

Bay Head beaches are more secluded from the street but are super fun and lively. The beaches offer opportunities to look for seashells and offer space to play beach games. Downtown offers a variety of shops and dining and is full of cheerful colors. The town is gorgeous and has a great relaxed vibe.

The Wildwoods

The Wildwoods really have it all. Wildwood Crest with gorgeous houses and more upscale stops and North Wildwood is a great classic beach town. If you're looking for a boardwalk, Wildwood is the place to be: offering both classic rides and two water parks. Plus: free parking.

Avalon/Stone Harbor

I'm grouping these two together because they're right next to each other, and kind of blend together. The beaches and downtown areas are gorgeous, and there seems to be bike lanes everywhere, making it really easy to travel without needing to drive. Both have great dining options and are super scenic.

Cape May

I might be biased because this is my personal beach spot, but Cape May really has it all: a variety of incredible restaurants, gorgeous sunsets, and stretches of soft white sand to lay out on. There are strips of cute little shops and some pretty great mini golf courses if you get stuck with weather that's not ideally suited for the beach. Beach Plum Farm offers some great organic veggies and delicious make-it-yourself options, and the historic Cold Spring Village offers a glimpse into the past. Take a trip to Cape May and I promise you won't regret it.

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.

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.

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.
