Why everyone is flocking to south Jersey this summer.

It's summer 2k18 and its that time to hit the beach again.

The Scenery.

For those looking for a wonderful sunset and marvelous scenery, point pleasant is the place to go. Nestled in a secure neighborhood, there's so much it has to offer. Coffee shops, bars, Boardwalk restaurants, you name it- Point Pleasant has it.

From the Music festivals, to the bars, to the coffee shops, boardwalk performers and games, South jersey beaches sure have a way of making you never want to leave. It's truly a tourist's dream and a photographer's playground.

Less traffic

Unlike the north, South jersey is free flowing and easy to navigate.

The reason why people keep coming back to the shore is.....because they can, with ease. The Garden state parkway heading south is always a smooth ride, making it easier for people to make it to the beach in less than 45 minutes* (if coming from the surrounding Newark area). Once you get to south jersey, places like Belmar and Asbury park have a low amount of traffic thus, gives you more time to enjoy the area before you leave.

The Weather ofcourse

The weather in Asbury park was just amazing that day.

This is pretty much a no-brainer but the weather in south jersey is a big factor on why people travel from so far to have fun at the beach. Look at it this way, would you rather stay in the house during this summer heat or go to the beach (that's less than 45 minutes away)to take full advantage of the weather? I think most would choose the latter. These beaches generate millions in revenue every summer according to statistics and its no wonder why.

Do you think the jersey shore has the best beaches? or does the north have something better to offer? Let me know, you can email me at Mitchapondi723@gmail.com for suggestions.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
