The 9 Types Of People You'll Find At Penn Station

Penn Station is a special place. Thousands of people, from all different walks of life are together, walking through the same place heading to tons of different locations. It's very easy to categorize these types of people because although we are all different, we can be distinguished among the crowd.


1. The Beggar

They'll try to trick little kids into giving them their spare change so they can buy those drugs they wanted...or did they claim that was for a train ticket? The worst part is we'll never really know what they're buying with that money.

2. The Marathon Runner

They're either missing their train or they like to run through Penn Station. Probably the first option. Move out of the way for them though if you want to avoid being trampled.

3. The One in a Rush

This person is a little bit different. They're not running because they missed their train, they're just very impatient and they get joy out of passing people slower than them. I am guilty of this.

4. The Cozy Traveler

They're patiently waiting for their train, and they don't mind sitting on the floor of Penn Station one bit. You'll catch them napping against the wall as they wait for their upcoming train.

5. The Foodie

Penn Station has some pretty good eats (Shake Shack, Moes, Krispy Kreme), so it's not surprising that this type of traveler exists. They will end up bringing the leftovers on the train with them.

6. The New Yorker

They know exactly what they're doing. They know exactly where they're going. Usually dressed in business clothes with their iPhone glued to their ear as they take a call. They don't care about anything else around them, especially slow walkers.

7. The Tourist

Their most common accessory: a very confused look on their face. They're usually walking in circles completely unaware of anything as they let people around them zoom by and if they get up the courage, they might ask you LOTS of questions.

8. The Party Animals

Usually coming from night out in the city to catch the last train. Or they just arrived to Penn Station after pre-gaming during the entire train ride there. Either way, they're dressed in little clothing and don't care about their public displays of intoxication.

9. The Musician

Usually, it's a guitarist, singer or violinist, but regardless of the instrument, they're always there at some point. Usually, they're not too bad.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
