15 Signs You're From Long Island

Sorry, I meant "Lawn Guyland"

Being from Long island comes with a great sense of pride. From the beautiful beaches, proximity to the best city, the people that bring fame its name, and its excellent selection of delicious food, there is no question Long Island is the greatest part of New York State.

1. You say "cawfee" and "dawg"

2. You live ON Long Island

Not in. You don't live INSIDE of an island, you live ON TOP of an island.

3. You have an intense love of pizza and bagels

And they just don't compare when you eat them from anywhere else.

4. Lacrosse is just as intense as football

5. You hate New Jersey

Even though their gas is cheaper and the Jonas Brothers are from there.

6. Westchester is upstate

Sorry not sorry, but anything over the bridge is considered upstate.

7. You've been to at least one bar/bat mitzvah and several Sweet 16's

8. You spend your summer days at the beach

Whether it's on the Lido strip or the boardwalk in Long Beach, Jones Beach, Robert Moses, etc.

9. Ralph's ices

You cry sad tears when they close for the winter and happy tears when they reopen.

10. You stand ON-LINE not IN-LINE

11. NYC = The City

Sorry to anyone we confuse by just saying "the city"; NYC is great enough to be referred to as that so everyone should know what we're talking about.

12. You know you don't want to miss that last train out of Penn Station

Or you'll be stuck in those awkward hours between 3 am and 5:30 am waiting for the next one.

13. You've tailgated a Jones Beach concert

14. You know what a real diner is

Sorry, but Denny's doesn't count.

15. You know the 516/631 rivalry

516 is better, but I'm not biased or anything...

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
