8 Reasons South Jersey Is Better Than North Jersey

Ah, the great debate. North versus South Jersey. A South Jersey native myself, I am obviously biased: there's no question South Jersey is better. And for you Jersey people from "Central Jersey" or whatever they call it, sorry, but I think you guys are just about as mythical as the jersey devil. Don't get me wrong, North Jersey has its perks: commendable food, close to the city, great night life. But there are so many reasons why South Jersey trumps its northern neighbors. Disclaimer: most of these involve food.

1. Pork Roll

Yeah, we both have this beloved product. But northerners will tell you it's called "Taylor Ham." I'm sorry, where on the packaging do you see the words "Taylor Ham?" Taylor is the brand, pork roll is the product. This ongoing argument must be resolved, and the answer is in the packaging.

2. Atlantic City

Yeah, we both have beaches. But can you gamble in North Jersey? If you aren't going to Vegas, Atlantic City is the place to go, and it's right in South Jersey's backyard!


3. Lucy The Elephant

Elephants are already giant, what's better than a giant giant elephant?

4. Produce

You thought "The Garden State" came from North Jersey?

5. Kohr Bros

North Jersians won't even understand this one.

6. Chickie's & Pete's

Crab fries run the world.

7. Wawa

People in North Jersey have it, but it's just another gas station. To South Jersey residents, it's a main food group.

8. Land And Beauty

In northern New Jersey, it's very busy and city like. South Jersey has both; you're right near Philadelphia and Atlantic City and a short train ride to the big apple, but there is a country/farm feel that simply cannot be beat.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
