Why New Jersey Will Always Be BAE

New Jersey often gets bad rap from people from other states, but if you're lucky enough to live there, you know how great New Jersey really is, and here's why:

1. We have the most amazing bagels (shout out to O'Bagel).

2. We have the best pizza (tied with New York).

3. We have Taylor Ham (or "pork roll" if you're some kind of savage).

4. We have 130 miles of beautiful beaches from Sandy Hook to Cape May.

5. We're an hour from New York City.

6. We're an hour from Philly.

7. So basically we have the best of both worlds. Hollllaaa.

8. We're nothing like the cast of Jersey Shore.

9. We're stronger than Sandy.

10. There's nothing like Jersey tomatoes or corn. Yum!

11. We're the birthplace of Meryl Streep.

12. And Derek Jeter.

13. And Joe Pesci.

14. And Chelsea Handler.

15. And Laura Prepon (she also went to my high school ... NBD).

16. No other state can drive like us (especially you, Pennsylvania and New York)!

17. We never have to pump our gas.

18. There are no shopping malls like New Jersey malls.

19. No one pronounces Jersey like "Joisey."

20. Diners. Diners. Diners.

21. Whether or not Central Jersey exists ... (It does).

22. The stereotype map being completely accurate.

23. We're tough, especially when we're home to one of the most dangerous cities — Camden!

24. We're home to the Giants, Jets and Devils.

25. We have our Devil.

26. Hoboken is basically the more affordable cousin of Manhattan.

27. We have great night life, from Jersey City to Seaside Heights.

28. Not only do we have beaches, but we also have mountains to ski on.

29. There's nothing quite like the NYC skyline from across the Hudson River.

30. Monopoly was created here, and who doesn't love a game of Monopoly (until a fight breaks out).

31. We have our own version of Las Vegas: Atlantic City.

32. No one can rival our sarcasm and attitude.

33. Summer concerts at PNC Banks Arts Center.

34. No other state will have as much pride as us.

35. No matter where you live, New Jersey will always be home.

In case you needed a few (or more) reasons to love New Jersey, now you've got them. Let's face it: there's no place like New Jersey and no bagel like a Jersey one.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
