15 Signs You're From MAPSO
Wikipedia

MAPSO (Maplewood/South Orange) is one of the greatest places in the world. And I'm not being biased at all. Located in Northern New Jersey, we have the best bagels, pizza, humans and parties. If you don't think so, then you've probably haven't lived here for more than 10 years.

1. You know the ultimate bagel beef between Bagel Chateau and Hot Bagels.

2. You think going to Newstead is a hike.

3. You know that the Maplewood Trattoria is better than the South Orange one.

4. When you were in ninth or 10th grade, you bought your alcohol at Azcona or the other sketchy place on South Orange Avenue, and now that you have a fake ID, you can buy it at Payless or A&D.

5. When you're finally 21 and can drink at St. James Pub with the big boys.

6. You've probably applied to work at any of the food establishments in town (Arturo's, Trattoria, Tito's Burritos, Strawberry Fields, Stony's) until realizing it's the worst.

7. You were a lifeguard in ninth grade.

8. If one of your friends gets invited to a party, then the whole grade is probably mobbin' through.

9. You know somebody who aspires to be a rapper.

10. If you lived in Maplewood, then you probably smoked at the hill, and if you lived in South Orange, then you went into the goonies / acid bridge.

11. You've taken sunset or hiking pictures in the South Orange reservation.

12. There was always some crazy shit happening at Columbia High School.

13. You've run from the cops more than once.

14. You've had Twitter beef with someone.

15. You've witnessed a fight at Chyz.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
