I found out this semester just how much pride people from New Jersey have in there home state. I also realized that I don't share the same pride in the state where I had lived for atleast 11 years. I do realize that New Jersey has a unique culture thats different from New York, or the New England states. We love promoting that we have hundreds of light houses along the coast, and that we have more malls per square mile than any other state. Speaking of which I discovered a new mall this christmas vacation, one that is only 40 minutes from my house as if I needed a new one, there are already 5 within 20 minutes of my house. Growing up in New Jersey was definitley and experience because the entire state is made up of suburbs from New York City and Philadelphia, when I think about it I guess I have to be glad I didn't grow up in Wisconsin or Alabama.
