Growing up in the suburbs is both a blessing and a curse. Let's all be honest, though. The soccer moms, the petty teenagers, and the rude store workers get real old, real fast. If you're not sure if you're from an upper-middle class suburb, here are some ways to figure it out.

1. Almost everyone but you drives a high end, over priced car

I'm just trying not to hydroplane in my 2006 Pontiac Vibe. I don't know about you guys.

2. When Christmas break ends, everyone's trying to see who has the newest iPhone

Up grading from a flip-phone to the iPhone 3 was a VERY big deal for me last year.

3. The entire town revolves around the high school football team

Because even if the team is bad, it's fun to cheer them on.

4. The biggest game of the year was always against the rival school

This is it. The biggest game of the year. The flying powder and screaming of the student section, the marching band half time show, and the events leading up to Friday night were always the best. Oh ya, sometimes the football was good too.

5. Everyone was always trying to see who's family had the most money

Even when it wasn't a competition, it was still a competition

6. When fall came around, every girl and their mom's had UGG's and a PSL at hand

Because warm simply won't do!

7. The guys all dressed like frat boys in training

8. Mom's in their Range Rovers racing to get their carpool to soccer practice on time

9. Super "cool" dads

10. You've met the best (and worst) people in your life

It's a hard life out in the 'burbs but the lifelong friends you've made makes it all worth it

So overall, coming from Suburbia isn't that bad. Sometimes it has its perks! (Meaning there's a Starbucks on every street corner)
