12 Thoughts Briarcliff Manor Kids Had When We Heard It Was Rated The No. 1 Most Boring Town In N.Y.

1. “There’s no way that’s true.”

This thought comes to mind as you sit in TPL at 10 p.m. trying to find something to do, waiting for the text to go to a house party and looking back at the times that you called it a night at 11 p.m.

2. “Woah, what about Pleasantville? They don’t even have buses.”

Oh the classic chant, “We have buses.” Yes, you think this could be true, but then you realize that Pleasantville has Michaels, McDonalds and Don Juans. But we’re still better than them because, you know, we have buses.

3. “There’s gotta be more boring towns in upstate New York.”

The thought that comes up in your group chats when you think that there must be other towns that have population of just below 8,000 with the majority of people above 44 years old.

4. “Maricio and Carlos have The Patio lit thoough.”

And what about the hungover squad that was greeted with chicken quesadillas, patio wraps and omelets on Saturdays at noon? Or when the whole school would show up after exams on midterm and finals week. Is that considered fun?

5. “But we have Rocky’s…”

It’s 1 a.m. and people packed into three cars roll in to get Liz B’s and Hashtags walk into a deli, and see 10 of their friends also getting Liz B’s and Hashtags.

6. “Is that Millwood?”

Then you realize, you’re not in Briarcliff anymore.

7. “I do wish there were other things to do other than driving around blasting music for hours.”

Blasting your squad’s favorite song while driving back and forth from The View to the High School can get a little boring.

8. “I mean I guess our weekends are most of the time non-existent."

Looking back at the many Friday and Saturday nights where you waited for that one text when someone says there’s something to do, but you never got it. So you really cherished those rare days that the one college kid comes home and you knew he was going to throw a banger, even the occasional heated tent. And you know something is happening when every girl has a 100 second snap story to cherish the rare moments of a fun weekend.

9. “Boring is what I would consider having to resort to a Cul-De-Sac or a golf course over the summer.”

Don’t you miss those days? The days where we could all bring blankets and have everyone chill and talk at the golf course with possible games of dizzy bat, even though every one would peace after half an hour.

10. “Maybe we are the most boring town.”

Rethink it all. Rethink all your past high school, middle school and elementary school experiences where everyone knows everyone and you rarely meet anyone new. Is "The Cliff" really that eventful?

11. “That’s what you get for being the safest.”

'Cliff was rated the safest city in New York in 2015. This definitely makes sense when one robbery in many years gets the most attention ever or when kids start a fight in the cafeteria it’s the biggest deal.

12. “I hope my camp / college friends don’t see this…”

This is embarrassing. If my town is considered boring, am I considered boring, too?

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
