New Jersey Is Not That Bad!
Philly Mag

Nothing is more frustrating than being an out of stater at UCF.....unless you go to UCF and you're from New Jersey . Let me get this straight, New Jersey is not that bad. Say it with me! New Jersey is not that bad!!!! Every state has their downsides and I get it but the reputation of NJ is a little ridiculous! Honestly, I blame it on the media. My deepest frustrations go out to the makers of "Jersey Shore," and "Housewives of New Jersey." I hope you guys read this article some day. For those Floridians who judge New Jersey so harshly, I think we have a couple things over you, except for the weather, we will give you that. Here is a list of 15 feelings us Jersey folk get from you all!

1. When people tell me Florida has the best food...

2. How we feel driving on the same road as you


3. When our humor is only funny up north

4. "Are you from the shore??"

5. "You must be Italian!"


6. And no, my accent is not that thick.


7. When I go all out for a tailgate and every other girl is in a romper/dress

8. "Florida goes so much harder than New Jersey."


9. When we go to the gas station for the first time and there's no attendant

10. When you get your nails done and there's no massage after ???

11. Eating Brooklyn Bagels like...

12. And even worse, Eating Pizza like....

13. I mean we definitely dress better

14. We are definitely funnier

15. Honestly, Florida is boring

16. Summers in Florida

17. Embrace us, We only bring personality to this state!

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
