Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancolo looked back on her reaction to the infamous news and revealed on Thursday’s episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation that she froze her eggs.
The 36-year-old reality star was celebrated by her roommates in the Poconos in the season six episode titled “The Sweetest Birthday” after she returned from an 11-year hiatus.
During a candid conversation with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, 35, and Angelina Pivarnick, 37, Sammi said she misses her friendships.
“Honestly, now that I’m here, I feel like a part of me has been missing for a while, you know? “I feel like I looked at you like sisters,” she said.
Sammi added in a confessional: “I’m so surprised at how natural it felt to be back.” “I feel like these people are my family and I’ve just been on vacation for a few years.”

Angelina then brought up the message Sammi received anonymously during the second season of Jersey Shore in 2010 warning her that her boyfriend and roommate Ronnie Oritz-Magro, 37, was cheating on her.
“I feel like you and I, especially in Miami, haven’t given up on bad relationships except for the note,” Angelina said.
Archival footage from the 2010 episode showed Jennifer “JWoww” Farley, 37, typing the note about Ronnie’s transgressions.
“Now I can laugh about it,” Sammi said as she reflected on her dramatic reaction.
“I was 22, it was so dramatic back then.” “If the note had happened now, I would have handled it differently,” she added.
In a confessional, Sammi further explained her thinking at the time.
“At 20, I thought I would have to get married, find my future husband and never find the love of my life again,” Sammi said. “I was so scared, but now that you’re in your 30s you kind of accept things as they are.”
Sammi and Ronnie had a rocky relationship during the first season of Jersey Shore from 2009 to 2012.

She declined to participate in the 2018 reboot of “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” because she wanted to “avoid potentially dangerous situations,” Sammi said on social media.
“Through all of this, I have become the strongest person I can be at this point in my life. “But you can’t get those years back,” Sammi said of that time in her life. “Time is so short on this earth.” Don’t waste it on a man if it doesn’t work out
Sammi also talked about having children after Angelina noted, “We’re getting older.”
“It sucks being a woman at this age,” Sammi said. “It’s really terrible. Terrible. It sucks.’
Sammi confirmed that she was referring to her biological clock.
“I had my eggs frozen,” Sammi said. ‘I’m over it. At 36, I honestly thought I would be married with kids living in a house somewhere and that’s just not where I’m at in my life right now.”
The owner of Sweetheart Coast boutique on Ocean City’s boardwalk also said she’s in no rush to start a family.
“I’m not rushing,” Sammi said. “I don’t want to feel the pressure to do that.” “I don’t want to get older at all.”
Eggs frozen: “I had my eggs frozen,” Sammi said. ‘I’m over it. At 36, I honestly thought I’d be married with kids living in a house somewhere, and that’s just not where I’m at in my life right now.
Good times: Sammi seemed to rub off on Angelina, who became happier in the Poconos
Sammi had a relationship with Justin May, a former bouncer at the now-defunct Karma club in Seaside Heights, where the roommates used to party.
The episode began with Snooki and Deena Cortese, 36, recovering from the epic “alien invasion” prank pulled by Pauly “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio, 43, with the help of Vinny Guadagnino, 35, and the production team.
Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, 41, Pauly and Vinny worked together to gather supplies and decorate a surprise birthday party for Sammi.
Vinny was upset about this because the roommates had rarely bothered to celebrate his birthday in the past.
The boys surprised Sammi with the birthday party and she was touched that everyone made an effort to welcome her.
Sammi warned Angelina that there was something on her cupcake before playfully smashing it into her face.

Angelina then started a food fight and started throwing cakes around.
“Honestly, a year ago I would never have been in this place. I could never imagine it. And here I am, actually having the best birthday ever. And I’m just like, I can’t believe this is happening,” Sammi said in a confessional.
“When is Ron getting here?” Vinny joked.
“Why are you so weird?” Sammi asked him.
“I don’t even fuck with you,” Vinny said.
“You’re just weird,” Sammi told him.
A sudden knock on the door then alerted everyone.
“I told you,” Vinny said.
‘I’m dying. I’m not ready for this. “My birthday wish will definitely not come true,” said Sammi.

In a flashback, Mike was seen speaking to Ronnie six days earlier and joking that his next move would be to get back together with Sammi.
Ronnie had stepped away from the show to look after his mental health after a series of setbacks.
The original “Jersey Shore” became a cultural phenomenon when it first aired on MTV and made all of its stars famous.
“Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” returns next week on MTV.
