6 Things All People Who Move Around NYC Can Relate To

Moving apartments in the Big Apple is so stressful!

6 Things All People Who Move Around NYC Can Relate To

Spending the last two years in a dorm was pretty much terrible. So getting out to find an apartment was very exciting...until we had to actually move into the apartment. Here are 6 things anyone would absolutely hate about moving in the Big Apple.


1. Moving furniture around NYC is hard.


The city is especially not nice to you when you’re trying to lug around furniture from point A to point B. Will the dining table you bought off of the Free and For Sale Facebook page fit in an Uber? Will it even fit in the elevator?

2. You get REALLY lazy.

Looking at the mess around your new apartment, you really just do NOT want to touch that mess. Then you just get really really REALLY lazy.

3. Do not take furniture for granted!

Spending two days without furniture was rough. You miss your bed, your desk, and even a drawer or closet for your clothes. Do NOT take them for granted at ALL!

4. Or WiFi!

Might be sounding like a millennial, but living a week without wifi is HARD. In our case, three girls starting their internships really needed to use wifi to e-mail their employers. We might have spent more time at a nearby café than we did in our apartment.

5. You eventually get sick and tired of all the mess.

6. Everyone is NOT on your schedule.

One thing not to do when moving: PROCRASTINATE. The main reason we had a couple of days without furniture and no wifi is because we procrastinated in calling the movers, people who set off the wifi, etc. They were all booked around the time we were moving in and the earliest dates were all a week later.

So if you're moving in the big city, do NOT be us!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

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