New Jersey is the greatest state in the country. Before I set foot on the campus three and a half years ago, I wasn't aware of this fact. I was also unaware anybody would have disdain for a place he or she has barely spent any time in. Soon, though, I learned all about the "real" New Jersey: the disgusting armpit of America, packed with landfills and highways, with Newark Airport in between.

And apparently everybody from the state is a big jerk.

I beg to differ. We've got the best beaches, the best food, the best girls and plenty of famous people representing Jersey proudly.
