yep "sneakers" pretty much limits you to east coast, i live like an hour out of boston. surprised i didn't get worcester like machetian considering i go to school there but whatevs.

it's also pretty funny that the little red area in colorado is where my grandparents/family live and the red areas in cali are where i want to go to college.
