There's a few things that only those from South Jersey know about. It's those special regional characteristics that make South Jersey one of the best places to live. So here's just a few things everyone born and raised in South Jersey can relate to.

1. Country music.

Staple music of South Jersey.


2. Wawa.

You feel bad for people who have never heard of Wawa.

3. Backroads.

People from the city will never understand or appreciate the therapeutic effect of no traffic on a back road.

4. Small towns.

South Jersey is completely made up of a bunch of small towns that anyone from out of state has probably never heard of.

5. Ocean City, NJ.

Almost everyone in South Jersey vacations in Ocean City. Hands down the best shore town.

6. Everyone assumes you know the 'Jersey Shore' cast.

You feel insulted when people ask if you know anyone from the Jersey Shore cast. Because a bunch of people from New York should not be what the Jersey Shore is known for.

7. Thank A Farmer.

South Jersey is known for its huge farming population. So every night as you sit down to eat dinner, you should thank a local farmer.

8. How Do You Pump Your Own Gas?

Let's face it, we wouldn't know how to live if we did't have people pumping our gas for us.

9. South and North Jersey should be two different states.

An industrial North Jersey and a farming South Jersey create two different types of people, with different attitudes and accents.

10. Crazy sports fans.

Whether it's high school or college pride, or professional level teams form Philly. No one can argue with a devoted South Jersey fan.

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.
