10 Phrases You're Guilty Of Saying Everyday If You Live In South Jersey

South Jersey...land of the pork roll lovers and Wawa hoagie fanatics. South Jersey and North Jersey are just about as opposite as Antartica and Africa. People who are from South Jersey are very passionate about being from South Jersey. We have our own traditions, slang, and phrases that only our fellow South Jersian's understand.

1. "I just ate a PORKROLL egg and cheese breakfast sandwich."

It's pork roll c'mon.

2. "Can you grab me a 'TAIL' to dry off with?"

We know how towel is spelled, and no we don't use an animal's tail to dry off with.

3. "What are 'yous' doing tonight?"

Because saying "you guys" is just not the South Jersey way.

4. "Were you at Susqehenna tailgating last weekend?"

"BB&T Pavilillion" is never going to be a thing Camden, gosh stop trying to make it work!

5. "I'm going down the shore this weekend."

It's not "I'm going to the beach." We're going "down the shore". Most likely to Wildwood, Ocean City, Sea Isle, or Atlantic City.

6. "Can't wait to go to the Mummer's Parade."

Only the realest know the greatness that comes along with the Mummers Parade on New Years Day.

7. "I'm so thirsty, I need some 'wooder.'"

Nothing more to say about this one, just some high-quality H2O.

8. "It's Wawa hoagie fest."

The best time of year in South Jersey.

9. "Can you hand me that jawn? What's that jawn? Who's that jawn? Where's that jawn? Now that's a jawn piece."

'Jawn', it's the word to describe everything and anything that comes to mind.

10. "I'm from right outside of Philly."

When anyone not from South Jersey asks you where you live you usually go with this statement, because the likelihood of them having any idea where you live from the name of your town is slim to none.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
