1) That we only take selfies and don’t do anything good for society. Actually, we’re the most civic-minded generation since the 1930s and we are a generation of “activist doers.” Besides, I would argue selfies are pretty harmless compared to some of the things other generations are known for (you know, war, pollution, political pork).

I’m from the state that is the most made fun of in all the country. It’s been called the armpit of America, and people laugh that its nickname is the “Garden State.” That’s right, I’m from New Jersey. When I went out of state for school, I was hit with a slew of untrue stereotypes, from “New Joisey” to asking where my tan was. I was, however, confronted with a few exaggerated stereotypes that happen to be completely fair. Here’s 14 New Jersey stereotypes that are pretty accurate. Out-of-staters, beware. 14) We drive like maniacs. And we’re damn proud of it. 13) And if you drive slow you will make us mad. 12) Most of us really can’t pump our own gas.

Since she’s the mom, she’s classy AF. Wine and champagne reign supreme in her world. And when she gets drunk, well you’ll definitely want to stick around because that’s when her alter ego comes out. (Shoutout to Alice Assram) 2. The Party Animal– She might be a girl, but she could out-drink anyone at any time. You’ll generally see her passed out towards the end of the night, but she’s the life of the party. She wants everyone to be on her level. Although she’s crazy, she’s also one of the funniest people you will ever meet. Trust me, you’ll never have a boring time with her around. Especially because she’ll be the one
