Snooki paid $32,000 to speak at Rutgers University

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was paid $32,000 to speak at Rutgers University about her fist-pumping, pouf-wearing, hard-partying lifestyle on the Jersey Shore.

That's $2,000 more than the school is paying Nobel-winning novelist Toni Morrison to deliver Rutgers' commencement address in May, reports the New York Daily News.

The pint-sized reality star appeared at two sold out Q and A sessions, donning a gold-headband, leopard-print gloves and a signature low-cut dress

According to Rutgers' Daily Targum, she chatted about a variety of subjects, including her trademark hair ("The pouf is its own living form"), if the drama on the show was real ("You can't make this") and her biggest inspiration ("being tan").

Snooki's speaking fee at Rutgers was approximately on par with what she makes per episode - reportedly $30,000 - on Jersey Shore.

"Study hard, but party harder," she told the crowd.
