27 Lessons We Learned From 'The Jersey Shore'

Ah, the jersey shore. If you say you didn’t love it there’s no way you’re telling the truth. This show was the definition of everyone’s high school obsession and was one of the most entertaining things to come out of MTV. We may not have registered all the very valuable lessons that came out of this show when we were 16, but as finals week rolls along and all my housemates and I have started to re-watch the iconic show, I’m finding the life lessons of this show more and more relatable. Here are 257 things we all forgot we learned from the Jersey Shore cast.

1. Self confidence is key

2. Jwoww’s VERY IMPORTANT dating advice

3. Always give your all on the dance floor

4. It’s okay to not be the brightest crayon box

5. Killer shades can always hide your tears

6. Never write any note ever


7. Anywhere is your bed for the night if you try hard enough

8. Always be honest

9. How to use your imagination to always have a good time

10. Literally never be in a relationship like ron and sam's

11. You’ll eventually get over that guy you fell in love with at the club for 5 minutes

12. Drinks are always a good idea

13. How to avoid weirdos

14. Always prioritize your bromances

15. It’s necessary to acknowledge when you deserve better

16. Every friend group needs a Pauly when going out


17. Move the furniture before a good fight

18. Find a friendship like Snooki & Jwoww's

19. Never have shame in your game

20. Always watch out for your girls in the club

21. Cleaning isn't for everyone and that's okay

22. Never skip Sunday dinner unless you don't wanna smash your differences

23. Be like Pauly and don't sweat the small stuff

24. Dessert is always an option

25. Always get right to the point

26. Sometimes the night gets weird

27. Nothing is better than the Jersey Shore

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
