When you live on Long Island there are some things that are inevitable. You probably will do very similar things to everyone else on the Island. Since there are only so many things to do.

1. You've been to at least one of Long Island's many lovely beaches

Whether it's a public beach or a private beach club, at some point this summer you'll find yourself at the beach with your friends.

2. You've had Ralph's countless times

Ralphs is a Long Island Italian ices chain which is extremely popular. EVERYONE will make their way to Ralph's during the summer season.

3. Marvel is a must

Located in Long Beach is a small family owned soft serve ice cream shop that has grown to be extremely popular. It's known to be the best soft serve on the island.

4. You went/go to/work at a sleep away camp

Most people from Long Island have either tried or loved sleep away camp and you probably still go to visit every summer you don't go.

5. You've probably been to the Hamptons

A popular high-class spot for beautiful beach houses, beaches, and summer fun.

6. You've probably gone out in "the city"

You and your home friends and/or college friends are going to the hottest places in the city while your responsibilities are still low.

7. And you might've tried your more local bars

Sometimes going into the city can be a challenge so you decide to see if your local bars are any fun.

8. You've probably gone for a walk on the boardwalk

Taking a casual stroll on the boardwalk and catching up with a friend isn't an uncommon activity.

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.
