- NYU is your top choice for college.
- If you go to Catholic school, you know everyone at all the Catholic schools in Westchester.
- If you go to public school you still manage to know everyone at all the Catholic schools in Westchester.
- Below 1400 is a "so-so" SAT score

- You know someone who knows the girl who starred in "The Blair Witch Project."
- Your dad works in an office and wears a suit and tie to work every day.
- Your mom either works part-time or volunteers, but whatever she does, it's enough to hold a 24-hour a day guilt-trip over you.
