It's The Little Things.

How You Know You're In Deer Park

We all have our unique little things that separate our towns from each other. There are many obvious things we locals are so well known with, and we just know it's Deer Park.


1. We have all of the fast food places.

Aside from a few, pretty much all of the typical fast food places, such as McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, and recently Sonic, is all placed on the same road: Deer Park Ave. You can't go too far without seeing at least one fast food place.

2. So many pizza places.

Along with the fast food places, we literally have so many pizza places, you really can't miss any of them! They're almost on every corner along Deer Park Ave and other places as well.

3. No healthy fast food places.

Okay, we have Energy Fuel, but they are expensive! There is no actual healthy food place to stop in and actually get something fresh and healthy, other than smoothie and yogurt places. We should get on that, Deer Park...

4. Tanger Outlets.

Other than Riverhead, we're the only other town that has a Tanger Outlets, complete with stores and our own movie theater. Props to us.

5. Size.

Deer Park Ave is very long, but that's pretty much what makes up Deer Park. It's a pretty small town, and you're pretty much out of the town in about 10 minutes tops. Unless you stop at one of our many food locations, then that's a different story.

6. SkyZone.

Some towns have Bounce, or Air, but Deer Park has SkyZone, the only town to have it on Long Island. And we are the best; not that I'm being biased or anything.

7. Location.

We are literally smack in the middle of the island. If you want to go out east, it's about an hour or so away. If you want to go to the city, it's about the same time. You can't really go wrong when you're really in the middle of everything.

8. Bagels.

Not going to lie, we have some pretty freaking amazing bagels.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
