Deerfield Beach, Florida

Place of the Week: Deerfield Beach, Florida

It is time to get out of this cold weather and book some plane tickets to travel to Deerfield Beach, Florida. Deerfield was established in 1877 and has been an emerging town ever since. It has been expanding tremendously and throughout the years becoming more known to many travelers. Deerfield Beach is definitely a beach town. Its main focus is its beautiful beach and the cleanliness of them. Deerfield Beach is known to be one of the cleanest beaches in all of Florida. The town has a strip of beach that goes all the way down for a few miles. Next to the beach it is surrounded by condos, hotels, restaurants, shops and bars. Everything you need is in walking distance which makes it easy to grab a bite of lunch without having to venture away from the beach. College students traveling to Deerfield Beach would enjoy the luxury of having the option of staying at a calm beach or walking a little further down to party central. It is up to the individual’s mood where they would like to be for the day. Deerfield Beach provides a fun, safe and entertaining experience for all students. 

 

Karma at the Jersey Shore

Place of the week: Karma in Seaside Heights, NJ

For those of you familiar with the popular, "Jersey Shore"television show, you should make your way down to Seaside Heights to experience it yourself. Living in New Jersey for all my life I have had the experience to travel to the jersey shore on several occasions. My most meaningful experience with the shore was when I had opportunity to work as a shot girl at Club Karma. The scene at Karma is ridiculous. You can see the Jersey Shore cast roaming around causing chaos. The best time to travel to Club Karma is anytime after Memorial Day Weekend or before Labor Day weekend. The club is always popping, especially on Saturday nights. Although the show does a great job depicting the scene, experiencing it in real life is out of this world. Hope you all have a chance to make your way down to Club Karma in Seaside Heights this summer and maybe I will see you there !

Bobby G's

Place of the Week: Bobby G's

Bobby G's is a very small bar located in Wakefield, Rhode Island at 23 Kingstown Road. It is known for being a great college scene, their famous tidal waves and Karaoke Wednesday's. Although this bar is not huge it holds a capacity of 138 people. If you go, you are guaranteed a great time, some laughs and possibly owning the bar by singing a song of choice. The drinks are inexpensive and there is also a pool table if you are into that sort of thing. In my experience, it is always a great time and you should really go to check it out yourself.

Mystic Aquarium

To start off this blog, I am going to update weekly with tips on places to visit. This week I chose a local place to start off with that others may be familiar with as well. 


Place of the Week:

A great place to travel to is the Mystic Aquarium. It is located in Mystic, CT. (35 minutes away from URI) I decided to make a trip to the aquarium with a few friends yesterday. We went to the aquarium not knowing what to expect since it was our first time attending this particular one. To our surprise, we ended up having an amazing time and time flew by so quickly. During our visit we were able to explore the various animals that reside in the Aquarium and learn many new facts about the way they live. We had the opportunity to learn about the different types of Jelly Fish, touch a baby shark and observe a show on Sea Lions. During the show I was surprised to experience how intelligent these creatures are and the many tricks they know how to do. The Sea Lion's listen to commands and with a small fish as a bribe they will do anything to you ask them to do. We were also able to observe the penguins and see how they splash around. To experience all that the Aquarium has to offer, one has to visit themselves to grasp the true beauty of these creatures.
