Six Things People from New Jersey Understand

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Quinnipiac chapter.

1.     Malls:

If you love to shop, come take a trip to New Jersey! Jersey is known for its large malls, great sales and most importantly… no tax on clothes! Prepare your wallets, Collegiettes!

2.     Wawa:

It’s better then 7 Eleven and Quick Chek combined. It is the greatest convenience store– it has everything you could possibly want, from freshly made subs to all of the snacks you can imagine. Plus it’s super clean!

 

3.     24-Hour Diners:

Who doesn’t want to have breakfast food at 2:30 AM after a long night? New Jersey is known to have some of the best diners around. They are open at any time and serve up some amazing food! If you think Acrop is good, try out a New Jersey diner.

 

4.     Gas Attendants:

Need I say more?  We are known for not pumping our gas! Some may call us lazy, but gas attendants save us from the rain, snow and wind. Plus it creates a surplus of jobs! Us Jersey Girls truly appreciate the attendants who help us out on all of those dreary days.

(Thank you!)

 

5.     Philly & NYC:

North Jersey has New York City, while central Jersey (if you consider to be from there) and south Jersey have Philadelphia. Not only does Jersey have great beaches to choose from, we also have two cities that offer great shopping, nightlife, and food! Who could ask for anything better?

6.     Concert Venues:

MetLife Stadium, Susquehanna Bank Center, and PNC Bank Arts Center. No matter where you are from in New Jersey there is always an awesome arena, stadium or concert venue at least an hour away from you.
