15 Signs You're From Bergen County, NJ

You know you love it.

1. You lived within 10 miles of 5 malls

But you still had to go to Passaic County to go shopping on Sunday.

2. You know it's not New York it's "the City"

3. You are a Jets or Giants fan

And strangely okay with the fact that, despite playing in Jersey, they remain NY teams.

4. You see the Real Housewives of New Jersey at the Market Basket

RHONJ 4 life.

5. When this was parked in your high school parking lot

You get a Rang Rover, you get a Range Rover!

6. And this

Accurate parking job too.

7. When your friends organize themselves by whether they are Irish or Italian

And you're half of each.

8. And all your friends were from Paramus

9. You don't go to the beach you "go down the shore"

Or DTS if it's 2008...or #DTStagram in 2013.

10. You know that South Jersey basically starts with Morristown

Nice try, map.

11. Your classmates all went to college in New York, Philly, DC or Boston

Road trip!

12. You say you're actually "from New York" when overseas

And you feel absurdly guilty for saying it.

13. You know what real gravy looks like

"Your mother's lasagna is made with canned sauce" is an actual insult.

14. You know the only way to finish a night is at a diner

15. The Jersey Shore wasn't just a reality show

It was your reality...and you wish those post-prom Facebook pictures didn't exist.

16. Speaking of prom, the day before the dance all the girls in your class became suddenly orange

Fake tans are the ultimate prom accessory.

17. You're extremely protective of New Jersey

18. But totally understand the stereotypes anyway
