While New Jersey is an extremely well-known place, it is widely acknowledged that the majority of that attention goes to the northern region of the state. Most people associate New Jersey with Brooklyn-like accents and the cast of the "Jersey Shore". And those things might be true for some parts of it, but when you're from South Jersey, you know things are way different than that. You know open fields, Wawas, and the towns along the coast. You know the Pinelands and meaning Philadelphia when you say "the city". South Jersey is a totally different place from North Jersey. Many people argue that they're essentially different states. If you grew up below Trenton, here are some things you more than likely know:

1. There are at least seven Wawas within a 10-minute drive from your house.

2. Your town is probably surrounded by a whole lot of farmland.

3. The Jersey Devil is a legend you grew up hearing.

4. The same applies with Booty Mill Road.

5. A drive down to Ocean City, Wildwood, or Cape May was definitely part of your summer plans.

6. Everything in your town closes super early, so you've probably loitered in a Target or Walmart once it got past 10 PM.

7. Diners are a staple in your life.

8. Your school trips always included at least one to Philadelphia.

9. It's pork roll, not Taylor Ham.

10. You know the glory that is food from the Amish market.

11. No one ever knows where anything is in South Jersey, so when asked where you're from, you just say near Philadelphia.
