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

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.

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.
