If you live in New York City or in the surrounding area then you've probably hoped on the "6" train, also known as the green line. If you live on the East side of Manhattan, Upper East Side, East Harlem, or the Bronx, then you known exactly which train I'm talking about. The "6" train goes along the East side of the city, from the Brooklyn Bridge to Pelham Bay Park. this train is notorious for being late, having ridiculous long wait times, and suddenly becoming express in the middle of the route. If you live,work, and go to school on the East side, like me, then the trek and ride on "6" is truly a daily struggle.


1. Ugh, do I just want to walk the twenty blocks or take the two stops on the train?

2. It's raining...train it is.

3. Swipe...Swipe...why the hell aren't you swiping. My monthly lasts till the end of the day!?

4. Why is it so damn hot down here, it's like winter above ground?

5. Shit.. the train is here ( starts full on sprinting through the station)

6. Welp, just shut my arm in the door and still missed it.

7. Can I sue the city of New York for having a personal injury from a subway door?

8. They don't need to shut that fast or be that heavy...seems unnecessary.

9. Eleven minutes till the next "6"?! Who has that kind of time... it's a Thursday morning?!

*Eleven minutes later (feels like eleven years)

10. Finally... and there's about 6 billion people on this train.

11. Let me just squeeze myself in here...

12. Okay, this kid is stabbing me with his toy while his mom's backpack is just slowly crushing my foot.

13. I have to pee.

14. I wonder how disgusting a bathroom on a subway would be...

15. Oh my god. how have we not stopped yet.


16. I wonder how many people have touched this pole today. Excuse me sir, please don't touch me...

17. I wonder if being a stripper on the subway would be a good business idea?

18. Great, here comes a huge mass of people that are not going to let other's out first.

19. Oh look at that, a rat eating another rat. Nature is beautiful.

20. Now let's watch as people attack the subway seats like a pack of lions on a dead zebra carcass

21. THE HEAVEN GATES HAVE OPENED (aka it's my stop)

22. Okay let's just violently shove me off out of the subway car.

23. I feel like we look like herd of cattle when we all gather around the platform steps

24. I can see the light!

25. Ugh, fresh air, thank you world.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
