10 Signs You're From New York
Ilana Mekler

Even though I've officially lived in Florida longer than New York, I still feel as if the empire state is still home. No matter how long you are away from your home state, people can still tell that you're from there. It is funny to me that people can detect even the slightest of things that give away that I'm a New Yorker. If you're from there, then you probably know what I'm talking about. Here are 10 signs you are from New York:

1. You complain about any other pizza that isn't New York pizza.

Especially with living in Florida, these pizzerias that claim they have "authentic New York pizza" are all living in a fantasy world. I'll tell you this, it's sort of close, but no cigar. Stop the lies.

2. You complain about bagels that aren't New York bagels

But you have to deal with it because it's the easiest thing to get for breakfast or a snack. You know what makes it better? Smoke salmon cream cheese with lox on top. YUM!

3. You get angry when you ask for a slice and the server at the pizza shop says "a slice of what?"

Let's get one thing straight here, A SLICE MEANS A CHEESE PIZZA. Don't look at me like I'm crazy.

4. Your friends make fun of the way you say certain words

For example: orange, socks, etc. If you met my parents then you know anything they say gives it away.

5. You get annoyed when people automatically assume you're from Long Island or Manhattan

There are other parts of New York that do exist!

6. You get into heated arguments over Yankees v Mets

But for real, let's go Yankees!

7. You have owned or do own a North Face Jacket

Guilty

8. You've had to take the Regents exams

9. You're really impatient when walking in crowds

MOVE!

10. You've never been to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
