10 Phrases You're Guilty Of Saying Everyday If You Live In South Jersey
business insider

South Jersey...land of the pork roll lovers and Wawa hoagie fanatics. South Jersey and North Jersey are just about as opposite as Antartica and Africa. People who are from South Jersey are very passionate about being from South Jersey. We have our own traditions, slang, and phrases that only our fellow South Jersian's understand.

1. "I just ate a PORKROLL egg and cheese breakfast sandwich."

It's pork roll c'mon.

2. "Can you grab me a 'TAIL' to dry off with?"

We know how towel is spelled, and no we don't use an animal's tail to dry off with.

3. "What are 'yous' doing tonight?"

Because saying "you guys" is just not the South Jersey way.

4. "Were you at Susqehenna tailgating last weekend?"

"BB&T Pavilillion" is never going to be a thing Camden, gosh stop trying to make it work!

5. "I'm going down the shore this weekend."

It's not "I'm going to the beach." We're going "down the shore". Most likely to Wildwood, Ocean City, Sea Isle, or Atlantic City.

6. "Can't wait to go to the Mummer's Parade."

Only the realest know the greatness that comes along with the Mummers Parade on New Years Day.

7. "I'm so thirsty, I need some 'wooder.'"

Nothing more to say about this one, just some high-quality H2O.

8. "It's Wawa hoagie fest."

The best time of year in South Jersey.

9. "Can you hand me that jawn? What's that jawn? Who's that jawn? Where's that jawn? Now that's a jawn piece."

'Jawn', it's the word to describe everything and anything that comes to mind.

10. "I'm from right outside of Philly."

When anyone not from South Jersey asks you where you live you usually go with this statement, because the likelihood of them having any idea where you live from the name of your town is slim to none.

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.
