Jersey Shore

The New York Times dialect map pinned me, based on my use of language, as a New York City, Paterson, or Yonkers native. I find that extremely interesting because it is true – I spent the last eighteen years of my life in a New Jersey suburb an hour outside of the Big Apple. How did the Times know? Is it because I am familiar with the term “mischief night?” Is it because I call my Nikes “sneakers?” Whatever the reason, dialects, while understood by those who are familiar, can be lost in…

Graduating from High School Trying to decide on where to go attend College was a big choice for me, My First option was Middlesex County College at first I didn’t want to go, but after hearing positive things about it, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity in attending an orientation in learning every information I needed to know. However, the only issue that I wasn’t aware of being that I didn’t have my driving license going to another college from a different country which requires…

own. It is our world. A key part to understanding our world is understanding our laws, as both shape the other. Becoming a paralegal puts one on the frontline of this, without having to get as deep in the mire as an attorney would. The state of New Jersey seems kind to those wishing to become a paralegal. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics gives that the national median pay of a paralegal to be around $48810, Career Coach takes a more localized look and places the median pay of paralegal’s…

delis.” Pedone’s deli, however, is the only deli running in Emmaus. One of the main reasons of opening a New York style deli in Pennsylvania is based entirely on increasing demographics. “We heard that a lot of people moved here from New York, New Jersey, and Staten Island, and within five years about 50,000 families moved into the area. This type of deli is what you would find in New York City or Long Island.” This is uncommon for the Lehigh Valley, where Emmaus is located, but that does…

As the national anthem, the Star-Spangled Banner is more than familiar to Americans. Most of the time, we feel a sense of patriotism when the tune rises. Usually, our society confirms that the lyrics of the national anthem promote a sense of praise for our nation. This makes people rarely examine what other messages our national anthem wants to pass to us. However, Jimi Hendrix, the renowned rock guitarist from the late 1960s, interpreted our national anthem in a very different perspective. He…

A life in New York City is a vastly personal experience that is famous for being unlike a life in any other metropolis. “City Limits” by Colson Whitehead explores the idea that everyone who goes to and lives in New York has their own, unique version of the city. From the moment an individual steps foot in the city, she is “building [her] private New York,” (Whitehead 1). My personal New York —the food stands, pharmacies, and avenues I would come to call home—formed when I moved to Manhattan to…

Chapter 1: “Queued On An Evening In Roma” From waiting in unimaginably long, unorganized queues with hoards of people, just shuffling feet to add the pretext of movement, to the hustle and bustle of trying to move along in a group in a strange new place (assuming I was amongst mostly tourists), nothing ever changes when it comes to human behaviour regardless of the geographical location. That is my very first observation during my very first vacation to somewhere I did not grow up in. It’s…

favor of Bridgeway, Inc (Hitesman v. Bridgeway Inc., 2014). In what way, if any, did the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), 42 U.S.C.A. 1320d-1 to -9 impact the actions of Bridgeway? or impact the decision of the New Jersey Supreme Court? How does HIPAA apply to your analysis of the actions of the parties? HIPPA impacted the actions of Bridgeway because Hitesman revealed the administrative logs to the television reporter and he violated Bridgeway’s…

Nancy Marangelli Week 2 Assignment The American Revolution looms largely over American History as the moment where our newborn nation won its independence from Great Britain. The conflict arose from tension growing between the thirteen colonies and the British government. The British government attempted to stop the rebellious activity by taxing the colonies. This was met with harsh protests and more rebellion. After reviewing the PowerPoint, I believe that the colonist still had high hopes…
