There's a few things that only those from South Jersey know about. It's those special regional characteristics that make South Jersey one of the best places to live. So here's just a few things everyone born and raised in South Jersey can relate to.

1. Country music.

Staple music of South Jersey.


2. Wawa.

You feel bad for people who have never heard of Wawa.

3. Backroads.

People from the city will never understand or appreciate the therapeutic effect of no traffic on a back road.

4. Small towns.

South Jersey is completely made up of a bunch of small towns that anyone from out of state has probably never heard of.

5. Ocean City, NJ.

Almost everyone in South Jersey vacations in Ocean City. Hands down the best shore town.

6. Everyone assumes you know the 'Jersey Shore' cast.

You feel insulted when people ask if you know anyone from the Jersey Shore cast. Because a bunch of people from New York should not be what the Jersey Shore is known for.

7. Thank A Farmer.

South Jersey is known for its huge farming population. So every night as you sit down to eat dinner, you should thank a local farmer.

8. How Do You Pump Your Own Gas?

Let's face it, we wouldn't know how to live if we did't have people pumping our gas for us.

9. South and North Jersey should be two different states.

An industrial North Jersey and a farming South Jersey create two different types of people, with different attitudes and accents.

10. Crazy sports fans.

Whether it's high school or college pride, or professional level teams form Philly. No one can argue with a devoted South Jersey fan.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
