Discover Long Island

As the weather starts to get warmer, and the professors begin to talk about finals, all I can think about is summer. One of the greatest aspects of Long Island is definitely our summers. Wherever you live on Long Island, you're no further than twenty minutes from the beach and the ocean.

There's so much to do on Long Island for our summers, that's why the ultimate summer bucket list on Long Island comes in handy:

1. Spend a weekend on Fire Island

Fire Island is one of the most popular places to go on LI for the summer. It's an island that doesn't have all that much besides shops, bars, restaurants, and of course the ocean. No cars are allowed on Fire Island, and the homes that are on it make you feel like you're not actually on LI still.

2. Go to a concert at Jones Beach

I've lived on Long Island my whole life, and never once have I attended a concert at Jones Beach. Nothing like going to watch your favorite artist sing, and overlooking the water.

3. Spend a day at the wineries

Alive After Five is relatively new. It takes place in Patchogue Village, where the strip of bars is. They close the street for a majority of the night, and all the bars bring themselves out on the street. you can enjoy live music, bar hopping, and have some great food...what's better?

5. Spend the day in Montauk

There's nothing better than going out to Montauk for the day, going to the lighthouse, going into town and grabbing a bite to eat and some of the greatest restaurants LI has to offer.

6. Going to the Boardy Barn

From East, West, to South Hampton, there's nothing like spending the day where you can run into celebrities, shop at high-end boutiques and go to the cutest cafes.

8. Go skydiving at Sky Dive Long Island

Ever wanted to see Long Island from a few thousand feet up?

9. Go jet skiing on the bay or the sound


10. Get a cool milkshake from Diner by the Sea

Does it taste as good as it looks?

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
