But when once our days of pining away over degrees have passed we need something to fill the void of our back to school excitement. There are measures you can take to ease the pain of never seeing your friends again or needing to be productive before 3 p.m.

Everyone knows that New Jersey smells like shit. How are the landfills dealing with their embarrassing nastiness? The same way the state’s ladies do: by covering it with cheap, fruity perfume. Here’s some other Jersey trash we think should get doused while they’re at it.

For a long time Asbury Park was known for one thing: Bruce Springsteen. Honestly, that’s it. Today, Robin Parness Lipson is trying make old shore city known for something more, as she attempts to bring a Museum of Modern Art to Asbury Park.

This winter MTV took an East Coast subculture and made it a phenomenon.

I’d be willing to guess that about 80% of the “The Jersey Shore’s” audience watch the show for a good laugh.

This new excruciatingly glittery shoe by Steve Madden pays homage to its namesake’s legacy by being as tacky as Snooki herself.  I would recommend wearing these beauties with a classic Snooki outfit: A leopard thong, a short, white miniskirt, and French braids.  That is her signature hairstyle, right?

You might be asking ‘who the fuck cares?’ But apparently Snickers broke up with her boyfriend, Emilio Masella, because he was piggybacking on her fame. I’m surprised she didn’t see that coming, because she always seemed like a card carrying MENSA member to me. Snooki just can’t help herself with all these tan juiceheads running [...]

Recently, I decided to stop eating meat, which is huge for this meatloaf-and-gravy-lover.  My newfound vegetarianism basically means that I now eat only pizza and broccoli (never combined, I find that vegetables make pizza too soggy), my favorite meatless foods.  Truthfully, I can’t say I’m mad at that.  However, I love to live vicariously through [...]

There is a longstanding tradition amongst New Jersey high school seniors that gets kept quiet in an effort to preserve its existence. Rather than your average post-prom rager, us Jerseyans really dig deep, renting out entire seaside motels and thus extending prom night to three glorious days in the process. Even more sacred than the [...]
