12 Reasons Why New York City Is The Actual Worst
The New York Times

New York City certainly does have many positive things about it, there are also a great deal of negative things about it. New York City is often overly romanticized (especially by people who don't live here) for its historic landmarks, variety of jobs and opportunities, and distinct lifestyle, but here are a few things that make this city the absolute worst:

1. It smells bad.

2. Like...literally so bad.


3. I swear this city is secretly a sewer.

4. Central Park is really just a lame excuse for city's lack of nature and overpopulation.

5. The summers are brutal and you're pretty much screwed unless you leave or stay inside.

6. The winters are equally as brutal and you'll probably alternate between shivering and crying.


7. You most likely can't afford anything because this city is too damn expensive.


8. Once you start living here, you're unfazed by everything. A naked man taking a dump on the street is a normal, everyday occurrence.


9. Let's just say, for the most part, New York isn't the home of the most friendly, down-to-earth people...


10. Good luck trying to drive anywhere.


11. Enjoy being screwed over by the subway system on the daily.

12. Have I mentioned that New York City is just garbage central?

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
