Hey to all my long islanders!! Of course there are some classic staples of Long Island; our insanely close proximity to the beaches that line our borders, our insane love of lacrosse, our interesting yet amazingly delectable selection of food and of course our love for New York City. But what really sets apart long island from the rest is our upbringing in long island high schools, whether you went to school in Nassau or Suffolk these definitely apply to you.

1. Believe it or not, your teachers were inflating your grades.

You really think you had an A+ in AP Economics...?

2. The halls were pretty much fashion shows that you may or may not have participated in.

You either rocked Ugg boots and solos or you spent your days strutting the halls in a Barbour jacket and Tory Burch riding boots.

3. If you were a guy on Long Island you either dressed like this

or this

4. You spent your free periods either getting bagels or deli sandwiches.

Mmmmmm bagels :)

5. Everyone in the history of Long Island played lacrosse- whether it was winning states or playing for one year in 3rd grade.

Aw, sad little boy forced to play by his father, the coach, who played first string at Duke :(

6. We try, but football is truly not our forte...More of a warmup for lacrosse season.

This ain't Texas.

7. Everyone has money but the school still looks like sh*t.

Raise your hand if you still don't have air conditioning.

8. Your student section thinks they're the best in the league.

Your cheers are the best, you have the coolest cheers for foul shots and your supervisor has yelled at you more than just once. Like all cheering sections...

9. The public schools are more prestigious than the private schools.

More than half of the kids that left you in the 8th grade for private schools have returned by senior year for selling fake ids.

10. All of your teachers practiced judaism.

Mazel tov!
