10 Things That You Can Relate To If You Grew Up In Oak Forest
Oak Forest Facebook

Oak forest is home to many people and if you have lived there your whole life you know the way around it, and the best parts of Oak Forest. Even if it was hanging out at Raiders games on Saturday nights, Bengals games on Friday nights when you were in middle school, Jack Frost opening up what ever it was you know everything there is to that town. Here are many things you can relate to from living in this wonderful town.

1. The Arbor and Hille rival was real.

Middle school was the best time of your life you didn't have to worry about anything but school and what you were doing after, but everyone knew that Hille and Arbor kids were crazy during games.

2. Oak fest was the place to be up until sophomore year of high school.

Don't lie you know you went and bought a Mega pass for Oak fest, it was the coolest place to be in the summer and everyone looked forward to it.

3. Getting Jack Frost in the summer.

When that first opening day of Jack Frost in the summer hits you know everyone is there because you wait all year for it to open.

4. Central is a ticket zone.

I can bet that you have been pulled over at least once off Central street and if you haven't considered yourself lucky.

5. Raiders was the hang out on Saturdays.

Every home Raiders game you know you can count on seeing all your friends there just hanging out.


6. Oak forest vs.Tinley Games.

If you thought Arbor vs. Hille was something Tinley Vs. Oak forest brings everyone out to those games, and trust me they get very intense.

7. Mcdonalds is the hangout for every teenager on earth that lives in Oak Forest.

It's not fun to sit around McDonald's that is why they have a 30-minute time limit in there.

8. The skate park is a joke.

Why so many people thought this was a cool place is beyond me.

9. 159th Street. Is pretty much the main part of Oak forest.

You literally have everything, restaurants, Dunkin, Grocery stores. It makes up the main parts.

10. You were at Orland Square Mall every Friday or Saturday in middle school.

The mall was always a fun place to go even I forgot you didn't buy anything at all.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
