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

First the safest, now the most boring; what a reputation we have.

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?

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
