    Don't Say That You're "From" A City If You Live 20 Miles Away

    If you live in Newark, don't tell people you're from New York! Literally the worst thing ever.

    1. "I'm from DC." "Me too! Where?" "Rockville."

    2. "LA?! Same! Where'd you go to high school?" "Wilson." "Oh, where is that?" "In Long Beach."

    3. "Hey, I'm from Seattle, too!" "Really?! Where do you live?" "Kirkland."

    4. "I can't believe you're also from Chicago! What do your parents do?" "My mom's a teacher at Northwestern... I live in Evanston."

    5. "You're from New York? I grew up in Park Slope! What borough do you live in?" "Well, actually, I'm from Newark."
