I’m gonna need an F150

I’ve had this blog post’s headline stuck in my head for a couple of days. I didn’t know exactly where it was going but I had some idea of what I wanted to say about how my next car could potentially be a Ford F150 pick up truck. Since December 2016, I’ve acquired some furniture Continue reading

A millennial’s ode to complaining
If you know me well you know that I am a relentless complainer, especially when it’s hot outside. My dad is the first to remind me that air conditioning is a luxury, not a privilege. I know, I know – I’m lucky to have grown up not knowing air conditioning. The Victorian Era of Cape Continue reading

Got Skin Cancer?

I live at the beach and probably one assumption many people have about me is that I spend a lot of time on the beach. And you would be so very wrong! I probably can count on one hand the number of times I have sat on the beach in the last few months – Continue reading

College lite

Lifestyle change

I hate exercise in all forms. I’m not a huge fan of being outside, especially if it is hot. So yeah, it’s a little ironic that I’m a beach person. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not an “I’ll sit on the beach no matter how hot it is, even 90 degrees” type; I know Continue reading

Off topic: Suicide awareness

This week’s post is off topic from Cape May, but on topic for millennials. Today I needed to talk about a topic that has become far too close to home lately – suicide. Between the debate about Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why series “glamorizing suicide” to this week when my brother Michael lost a friend, who took Continue reading

New blog, who dis?

So the title of this post might be a little cringeworthy, but it is a play on millennial saying, “new phone, who dis?” I know some of my readers will be friends and family, who I appreciate following along. But for those who are new followers, I wanted to let you know a little more Continue reading

That nouveau post
A fresh start in all senses of the word. A new town, new surroundings, new job and a new blog. But the town and surroundings aren’t really new. Not when you realize that I have been coming to Cape May, New Jersey every year since my birth. And I’m 23 years old. That’s right folks, Continue reading

semester of yes
*This post was previously published for the blog, “Rachel Shubin.” It is now Cape May Rachel* Last semester I decided to have a “semester of yes.” For me, this personally meant I needed to say yes more and take advantage of all that GMU has to offer before I graduated. I attended a Bernie Sanders Continue reading
