26 Things You Recognize If You're From Commack, New York

If you're from Commack, New York you definitely know all of these places. To all my friends who are currently in college like myself, I'm sure you miss this town...even just a bit...maybe.

Applebees

You know, the one by Target on Veterans Memorial Highway. The place where you see basically everyone from your high school on a Friday or Saturday night for some half off app’s.

Bagel Chalet;

Best bagel place EVER. No questions on that.

Candlelight Diner

I was debating whether Premier Diner or Candlelight Diner was better... I came to a realization, that A LOT of people where I went to high school go to candlelight dinner after a school event.

Dunkin Donuts

I always need my medium iced coffee with 7 pumps of caramel and half and half before my day starts as well as a bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant.

Emilio's Pizzeria

Okay okay, every pizza place in Commack is so good but there’s just something about Emilio’s Pizzeria that makes the pizza bomb.com.

Friendly's

Ice cream? Friendly's. Apps after 8 instead of waiting till 10 for Applebees? Friendly’s. A place that was popular for the middle school kids back in like…2011? Friendly’s.

Greek Village Restaurant

A Greek Salad is amazing from here especially pita bread with the tzatziki sauce.

Harned Road

If you live in Commack South, you definitely know this road.

Izumi

Best hibachi place with the best sushi, duh.

Jericho Turnpike

The busiest road in the afternoon that we try to avoid…but can’t, unfortunately.

King Kullen

Ya know, the one where sports authority used to be, the one near Miller’s Ale House and Target.

LIE

Wanna get to Montauk? Take the LIE.

Millers Ale House

Best place to go with friends on a Friday or Saturday night … personally, there nachos are to die for but that’s just my opinion.

North East Dance Academy

I grew up dancing here and now my two sisters and cousin dance here so I’m supportive of this dance studio!

Outback Steakhouse

Best blooming onion everrrrr.

Plaster Funcraft

Childhood? DUH! Come on girls, we definitely had a birthday party here when we were little or at least have been here for a friends birthday!

Quick Stop Deli & Catering

Right next to Gasoline Heaven.

RX Express

Where to get your medicine or even scratch off’s.

Spare Rib

The restaurant across from Friendly’s/ Bar Louie.

Target

Come on, we def know Target.

Ulta

Where girls get makeup and other beauty products to look good, of course.

Vanco Pharmacy

Commack South area right next to North Shore Farms.

Wendy’s

FROSTY.

X-cellant School District

We’re a blue ribbon school of excellence. Commack had the highest Regents Diploma rate of all comprehensive Suffolk County Districts. Ninety-five percent of its graduating seniors went to colleges of their choice.

Yogurt Crazy

The best froyo around with great toppings.

nyZ Apocalypse

Okay, yes, I know this is in Deer Park but a lot of people from Commack go here for a great scare!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
