6 Signs Your Roommate Is From Long Island

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at URI chapter.

1.  When you ask where they are from and they respond with “Long Island” like it is it’s own state.

Oh, you mean New York? No, it’s LONG ISLAND. Okay, got it.

2.  “The City” is New York City and if you think it’s a different city, then you’re an idiot.

How dare you question which city they are referring to? Pull it together, it’s obviously NYC.

3.  Bagels do not exist unless they are New York bagels.

We get it, we get it. You guys do bagels.

4.  They think a Boston accent is severe.

Guys, do you even know how long it took me to get used to your accent? I will fight about pronunciation with you until we’re old and gray.

5.  They like all the wrong sports teams.

No, this is not an opinion. It’s just simply the truth.

6.  They become your beeeeest friends.

Go best friend, you’re my best friend.
