1. You know why it's called the Garden State.

Cranberries, blueberries, corn, tomatoes. You're welcome, America.

2. June through August are the best months of your year. And not because it's summer.

3. You absolutely resent this show.

No. NO NO NO.

4. You love this man.

The Boss.

5. When you leave the state, you're used to fielding questions about whether you know Snooki.

So do we, girl. So do we.

6. You avoid the road at all costs on Fridays during the summer.

Shoobies.

7. You think North Jersey and South Jersey should just be different states.

Ewwww. It's like a different world up there...

8. This is what you picture when you hear Jersey Shore.

Ahhhh.

9. You know at least one person who has claimed to have seen the Jersey Devil.

That dude is scary as shit.

10. At an out-of-state gas station.

Just pump it for me please I can't figure this out. kthanksbye.

11. You can't stand out-of-state drivers.

LEARN HOW TO NAVIGATE A TRAFFIC CIRCLE ALREADY!

12. Tallest fastest roller coaster in the world? Been there, done that.

Didn't even cry. Well, maybe a little.

Why wouldn't you want breakfast at 10 p.m.?

14. This is a mountain to you.

And it. Was. Awesome.

17. You know at least a dozen people who go to Rutgers.
