20 Signs You're A Jersedelphian

Maybe your parents are from Philly or maybe you used to live in the City of Brotherly Love. If you relate to this list, chances are you grew up in South Jersey, but have a special attachment to Philadelphia.

1. You think Trenton is in North Jersey.

2. A sub is a vessel that can operate completely underwater. Not a sandwich. Seriously, it is called “Hoagiefest” for a reason.

3. The PATCO is one of your main forms of transportation.

4. Philly soft pretzels are legendary.

5. Wawa isn’t a convenience store. It’s a lifestyle.

6. You drink "wooder."

7. It’s pork roll not Taylor ham.

8. You are filled with a not-so-silent rage when people say they are Yankees or Giants fans (don’t even get me started about Dallas).

9. You don’t question what is in scrapple, and you eat it regardless.

10. Tastykakes were 150 percent better before they were sold (but you still love them anyway).

11. To you, “The City” has more to do with brotherly love than apples.

12. XTU could be considered a high school reunion.

13. You know that if your want to turn left, you usually have to turn right around a jug handle.

14. The majority of your elementary school class trips were to the Liberty Bell, the Franklin institute or the Zoo.

15. You don’t know how to pump gas, and hopefully, will never have to.

16. You know where you were when the Phillies won the World Series in 2008 and most likely skipped school the next day to go to the parade.

17. Cheesesteaks could be considered their own food group, and you get into arguments with your friends about where you can get the best one.

18. Finish the sentence “Fly Eagles Fly. On the ____ __ ______.”

19. You go “down the shore” most weekends as the loyal “shoobie” that you are.

20. When people ask you where you’re from you say you’re from Philly, because it is just easier than explaining where your tiny Jersey hometown is.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
