16 Things You Know If You're from Monmouth County
Rob Villalta

Monmouth County is the best county in New Jersey, and that's coming from an unbiased writer. Okay, maybe I'm a little biased...but hear me out!

1.You've had the best bagels.

2. And the best pizza in NJ.

3. Whether it's summer, winter, or just a typical Friday night, Inkwell is the place to be.

4. You choose Surf Taco over Chipotle anytime.

5. The beach is basically your backyard wherever you live.

6. Bennies are the #1 source of traffic and your aggravation in the summer.

7.If you haven't taken a photo in front of the Porta doors, who are you?

8.You're pretty used to seeing "the city" from the beach.

9. And it isn't New York City, it's "the city."

10. You freaked out when you saw the new plans for Monmouth Mall.

11. But we all know that Freehold Raceway is way better.

12. If you run, Holmdel Park holds your worst nightmare: The Bowl.

13. Wawa is a way of life.

14. Dunkin Donuts is a staple.

15. If you don't go to PNC at least once every summer, was it even summer?

16. And last, but not least, it's pork roll!

I'm sorry, I don't know what Taylor Ham is.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
