You’ve hung out in Huntington.
North Shore kids are rich, South Shore kids are cool.
You don’t go to Manhattan, you go to “the city”.
Everything north of the 5 boroughs is upstate.
Anyone from “upstate” is considered a hick.
If you’re not from Long Island or the 5 boroughs you’re not really from NY.

You you’ve been cruising on it.
You’ve never really actually gotten lost because you always manage to find your way home.
You always add 10 mph when you see a speed limit sign.
You have a lot of road rage.
You’ve driven on the LIE, Southern State, Northern State, Hempstead Turnpike, Meadowbrook Parkway, Sunrise Highway, Jericho Turnpike, and 110.
And you’ve done them all on the same day.
You know remember the LIE not having construction.
You experience traffic ALL the time, not just during rush hour.
You think that paying $1.90 for gas in the summer is cheap.
The only way to cruise is with your system bumpin.
You’ve gotten to the point where riding bikes was old and walking the street at night was the thing to do.
But the second you started driving you wouldn’t be caught walking anywhere.
You hate switching at Jamaica.
You have and never will take the bus.
You’ve gotten drunk on the LIRR.
You’ve gotten drunk in a parking lot or on a roof.
The Long Island Ice Tea is the fastest way to get drunk.
After prom in the Hamptons + alcohol+ friends + a camera = the craziest night of your life (until college of course)

You’ve driven around aimlessly in a caravan of cars.
You live no more than 15 mins from the beach
But in the summer it can take FOREVER to get over the bridge.
You know someone that went to Chaminade.
Private school girls are just hotter.
Fire Island makes you think of gay men
You know you have to like Billy Joel because he’s a fellow Long Islander and everyone else around you loves him
You knew that the Baldwins, Mariah Carey, LL Cool J, and Natalie Portman are also fellow Long Islander’s

You know the exact point when you are leaving Queens and entering Long Island
As annoying as it might be to live there sometimes, you know you will always go back to it.
