Okay, the people who said all those negative things on Long Island is, one word: WRONG.
I'm not saying Long Island is all that, not at all. It's the southeastern part of NY, so no, it's not upstate, or NYC. I wouldn't have to say this, but just in case you don't know your geography. Nassau and Suffolk counties are pretty much what makes up the official Long Island region. It's a homeland to many famous celebrities you probably wouldn't expect of used to live or currently still live here. The Hamptons and the beaches are so beautiful and a place you wouldn't want to forget. Schools are amazing and are often known for it's prestigious honor in certain subjects or departments of strength. People... are just people everywhere else, they can be nice, generous, or a complete and total fag. No places are considered "ghetto" here.. Really. But there are some towns that consist of constant robberies, bad schools and just an awful reputation in general. There's a difference, though, between North Shore and South Shore. To my opinion, North Shore is a billion times better based on the environment - better for a lifestyle while the South Shore is.. A better place to chill in the summer. If you love NYC but hate living in the crowded places, Long Island is a great place to start. Distance runs from 20 minutes to about an hour and a half when using any type of transportation. Don't walk, you'll never get there.
Long Island, NY is your kinda place

little PEI, barely a province. nobody lives here. nice scenery but not much else. most tourists come here on a day trip to see anne of green gables, the province's claim to fame, then leave. but they do have a sweet bridge.

When you leave a reeking fart just before exiting a subway car, so that the doors close and lock the victims inside with the smell.
I left a beautiful Staten Island Stinker on the 6-train this morning. I think I might have killed someone's poodle.

Some of the teachers have like 4 doctorates and just give hella work and torture you for fun, other teachers become your best friends. All our sports teams suck major ass but the 2020 senior football team thought they were the coolest people on the planet. The track team is a cult of weird nerds. Half the school lives in Brooklyn despite it being in Staten Island. The ones from sheepshead bay are literally the worst people to grace the planet earth. Rude racist Russians who carry long champ bags with Gucci slides despite living in two bedroom apartments in a dog shit neighborhood in Brooklyn. The ones from the island are usually are pretty nice but some are from tottenville and make you want to kill yourself. Literally zero diversity every one is Asian and russian, youre a minority being an Irish kid. Did I mention they force you to take Russian. The Russian teachers are almost all AWFUL literally treat their class like a USSR throwback ball. Everyoneโs GPA is a 4.0 and getting an 80 in a class is treated like failing out of highschool. Everyone goes to an Ivy or Binghamton and college acceptance days are treated like literal dooms day. The bathrooms are a smoke show of honors kid burnouts who are desperately trying to get through their day via nicotine and wax pens. Despite all of this I couldnโt imagine myself anywhere else. You get super close with your friends and as much as you hate it one day youโll look back and wish you could do it all again.
โWhatโd you do in highschool?โ
โCried, studied, and smoked in the bathrooms.โ
โWhat?โ
โOh yeah, I went to Staten Island techโ
