20 Comments You've Definitely Heard If You're From New York, But You Don't Live In NYC

In This Article:

There are just certain things that New Yorkers are bound to be asked at least once in their lives. To summarize, yes Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt both filmed movies upstate, no, I don't have a Brooklyn accent, and yes, the winters get frigid. Here is a more detailed list of questions that true New Yorkers will be asked:

1. Wait, so you don't live in the City?

media1.tenor.com

Believe it or not, New York state includes more than just New York City.

2. Doesn't it get, like, really cold?

i.gifer.com

Yes, actually. The last winter we had came in at a whole 16 degrees which is well below freezing.

3. Isn't your pizza really good?

media1.tenor.com

Somehow, no other state can make pizza like NY. It must be the Hudson River water.

4. Do you have to take the subway everywhere?

media.giphy.com

Again, not everywhere is the City. The subway doesn't even exist in most parts of NY.

5. Why don't you have an accent?

media.giphy.com

Usually only people in the City or natives of the City have an accent.

6. Are all New Yorkers agressive drivers?

media.giphy.com

Easy answer: yes.

7. Do you like the Yankees?

There is a constant rivalry between the Mets and the Yankees but everyone knows that true New Yorkers root for the Yanks.

8. Is it true that James Charles is from New York?

img.buzzfeed.com

Yes, and he grew up and went to school 10 minutes from where I live.

9. Did you know Salt with Angelina Jolie was filmed in New York?

thumbs.gfycat.com

More specifically, it was filmed in Albany near the Interstate 787 highway - basically in my backyard.

10. AND The Place Beyond the Pines with Ryan Gosling??

78.media.tumblr.com

The ice cream shop scene was filmed in a little town called Schenectady that I used to walk to after school and the diner scene was filmed at a place walking distance from my house. Pretty cool, I know.

11. Albany? Where is that?

pix.epodunk.com

Only the capital of the entire state...

12. Okay so if you don't LIVE in the City, how often do you go?

Not often; most upstaters aren't a huge fan.

13. Which football team do you root for?

usatthebiglead.files.wordpress.com

Jets, Giants, Bills, or Patriots (New England, not New York, but still an option)?

14. What's "SUNY?"

mediaassets.wkbw.com

"State University of New York" which includes (but isn't limited to) SUNY Albany, SUNY Adirondack, SUNY Cobleskill, SUNY Oneonta, SUNY Cortland, and SUNY Canton.

15. Why did your license plate change colors?

I honestly don't want to talk about it (and no one else does either).

16. What's Stewart's?

3.bp.blogspot.com

Only the best ice cream shop ever - that's connected to a gas station.

17. Why is apple picking such a big deal to you?

New York has the best apples and apple picking is a sacred tradition - no questions asked.

18. Why do you always lock your car and house?

First of all, it's safe. Second of all, New Yorkers are crazy.

19. Who is Billy Fuccillo?

archive.naplesnews.com

Look up "HUUUUUUUGE New York commercial" on YouTube to find out.

20. Wait, isn't the Saratoga Race Course famous?

184cda7661b9609f94b0-f196c43f59505ef65734afae659eea38.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com

It's only the place where famous people go every summer to act boujee, burn money, and wear fancy hats.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
