New Jersey Has Been Betrayed

Out with the In-N-Out.

New Jersey Has Been Betrayed
Sarahbelle

Here in Jersey we're blessed with a lot of things that other states are not. For example, we have Wawa, pork roll, the best tomatoes, and Stewart's Drive-In just to name a few; but we New Jerseyans always want more. Even though we love the east coast, and are proud of our Garden State and the food it has to offer, we feel betrayed, slighted, and outright tricked.

Last week an article went viral on Facebook about an In-N-Out coming to Seaside. Of course, everyone in New Jersey flipped out because we all automatically assumed that it meant Seaside, New Jersey. The sacred stomping ground of the Jersey Shore cast. We didn't possibly imagine there could be another Seaside. There can only be one, and New Jersey has it. When people in Jersey thought that an In-N-Out was coming to the east coast, let alone the good old NJ, it was something incredible. No matter how much we love our state, we still yearn for the constant warmth of the California sun, and the delicious looking cheeseburgers we're forced to only look at on Instagram. The thought of an In-N-Out actually coming to Seaside set the people of Jersey into a tizzy. The summer road trips, the aesthetic, the Instagram opportunities; having an In-N-Out gives so much to offer...or so we thought.

It turns out that the In-N-Out article that tricked citizens across Jersey failed to make it clear that the In-N-Out is actually going to Seaside, California. Heartbreak, as well as anger, flooded across the Garden State when people discovered that NJ is not going to get to experience the deliciousness that Californians brag about with their trendy cheeseburger and fries pic on the red tray with the In-N-Out logo visible. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Of course one could argue that simply reading the article would show that the famous chain is not in fact opening in NJ, but California. Here in the good old state of NJ, we don't take time to read things. We see a headline and go with it. Therefore the deceiving headline of "In-N-Out due to open in Seaside" took everyone by surprise and got a lot of people way more excited than they should be.

It's a shame that we aren't getting to try the gooey delicious cheeseburgers and hold the infamous red tray, but we'll always have the best diners, bagels, and pizza in the world. That's something that will never, ever change.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
