If you’re from East Islip, New York there is a huge chance you’ve done every one of these things at least a million times.

1. You've spent more nights than you can count in your car at the marina.

2. You and your friends have to debate every day of the summer whether you're getting Rita's or Ralph's.

3. You've snuck out during lunch and successfully avoided the security guards.

4. At some point, you've run from the cops after a party with your whole grade at Lyons Field.

5. You've gotten the GRD and sat at Little Africa and to eat it.

6. The second there was any snow on the ground, you've attempted to sled down the hill on the Heckscher bridge.

7. If you live in Islip Terrace you have to fight with your East Islip friends over Mary's or Renzos.

8. You see every one of your friend’s parents at Stuff-a-Bagel on Sunday morning.

9. Every good night ends at Applebee’s for half off apps with the rest of East Islip.

10. Everyone learned to drive for the first time in Heckscher Park.

11. If you’re not from Great River, picking up someone who lives there is always annoying.

12. Your friends couldn’t wait for Dixie Pond to freeze so they could skate and play hockey.

13. You have sat in the back of your mom’s minivan as a kid and watched the Saint Patrick Day parade and got a pretzel from the weird guy with the shopping cart.

14. When it gets nice out you try to be adventurous and kayak or paddle board off Little Africa.

15. You’ve been going to the FTK carnival since first grade and when you were finally allowed without a parent it was the best year.
