16 Signs You're From Bayside, NY

1. You spent many afternoons after school at the Bay Terrace Shopping Center.

Applebee's was where the cool kids hung out on Friday nights in 8th grade.



2. You heard a rumor that Chipotle was replacing the McDonald's on Bell, and when a paint store opened instead you almost cried.


3. Mentally preparing yourself for Barnes and Noble to close isn't going well.

Now you'll have to go all the way down Northern to get your Starbucks fix.


4. You go to the movies at Fresh Meadows even though there's a theater at Bay Terrace because the reclining seats are so much better.


5. Speaking of the Bay Terrace movie theater, you wonder why they stopped updating the movies on the movie marquee.



6. You had to apply to go to high school.

You probably went to either Bayside, Cardozo, St. Francis Prep, or Holy Cross.


7. When people talk about the Wolf of Wall Street, you probably chime in that Jordan Belfort is from your town.


8. Even though he dropped out, you still get excited that rapper Action Bronson went to Bayside High School.


9. You're super close to Manhattan and go whenever you can.

Except, with no Subway system, you're stuck paying big bucks to take the LIRR or have to inconveniently take the Q13 to the 7 train in Flushing.


10. You're also blessed to be super close to Nassau County.

So you frequently go to the Roosevelt Field Mall and Jones Beach.


11. You or someone you know is a member of a pool club.


12. When summer comes around, Ralph's becomes your second home.


13. Warm weather also means you can sit outside at Press 195.

Their french fries are life changing.


14. If you don't live in the Gables, you probably wish you did.


15. Your social media feeds are filled with pictures like this when it's nice out.


16. Even when you leave, you always come back because you know there's no place like Bayside, NY.

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.
