14 Fabulicious Signs You Live In New Jersey And Wouldn't Have A Nice Day In Any Other State

The "Garden State." Whether you grew up, recently moved, or came here for college, there is truly no other state like it. From the food we eat, to the way we drive and talk to one another, Jersey is a unique state and there are a number of signs you that you have lived here.

1. People assume everyone is like the cast of "Jersey Shore."

We all have perfect tans, live the life of the party, and are constantly cursing.

2. You have a "Jersey" accent.

I'm from "Jewrsey" and I would like "cawfee" with my "begel" and a "woowter" bottle.

3. Pork roll.

The only states that knows how to combine fried pork, eggs, and cheese into a delicious breakfast sandwich.

4. Real pizza.

You don't have to rely on fake pizza chains like Cici's, Papa Johns, Little Caesar's, Pizza Hut, and Dominos.

5. Hoagies.

They are just better than subs, don't try to convince us otherwise.

6. Bagels.

When you travel to other states you just don't like their "fake" bagels. We even have "The Bagel Nook," which has everything from Oreo and Flamming Hot Cheeto bagels to cookie dough and smores cream cheese.

7. Having the mentality that it's OK to drive 20 miles per hour over the speed limit because the person in front of you is doing it too and will get pulled over first.

... then having to look out the window to watch whoever got pulled over.

8. Getting road rage when the person in front of you is actually going the speed limit.

Don't you know that 55 on a major road is just a suggestion?

9. Having the luxury of always living close to a beach.

Enough said.

How do people live without it in other states?

11. You still don't know how to pump your own gas.

If you haven't lived anywhere but Jersey, you know you'll be calling your dad to ask how to pump your gas when you go to another state.

12. You walk extremely fast and can't stand being behind a slow poke.

C'mon! Don't you know we're always in a rush!

13. You hear at least one person swearing wherever you go.

We have no excuses, we just do it. And… it's usually followed by a middle finger.

No one will ever know why we can't just make left turns like every other state.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
