Living in the garden state has made me realize not everyone is going to have the same things as this state or talk the same way. For this, here are some signs you are from Jersey
1. Beach and the Boardwalk
The beach and the boardwalk are a package deal. You don't have to necessarily go on rides or play games (who am I kidding, yes you do), just the warm, tan-peopled atmosphere and the smell of Zeppoles gives you that true vibe that Summer has arrived
2. Kohrs
If you go to the boards anywhere along the Jersey Shore and you don't get Kohrs ice-cream for dessert, you didn't have the full experience. Also, anything but Kohrs on the boards is considered a knock-off
3. The Arcade
Every boardwalk arcade is a child's or the little kid in you has a happy place. You could spend hours in there alone to gather as many tickets as possible to trade in for prizes
4. Exits
When you meet fellow Jersian, you tell them which exit on the parkway you get off of and they automatically know where you live
5. Cheese Steaks and Pizza
When you go to every eatery on the boards you will see almost every parent with a steak sandwich and every child with a slice of pizza on their plate with a freshly squeezed lemonade.
If you are not from New Jersey and always wanted to go there, theses are definitely the key items to look forward to. I know every time I'm home they are the best things I experience (aside from seeing my family of course).
