Ah, the jersey shore. If you say you didn’t love it there’s no way you’re telling the truth. This show was the definition of everyone’s high school obsession and was one of the most entertaining things to come out of MTV. We may not have registered all the very valuable lessons that came out of this show when we were 16, but as finals week rolls along and all my housemates and I have started to re-watch the iconic show, I’m finding the life lessons of this show more and more relatable. Here are 257 things we all forgot we learned from the Jersey Shore cast.
