Why I Would Pick Florida Over NYC?

I can’t disagree with the fact that NYC was one of the most bang up places I have ever been to. The city never sleeps. The rush never dies out and the energy is compelling. Usually that’s a good thing if you like to travel a lot, but not if you are trying to push through. Coming “home” to New York isn’t very relaxing. The pressure for getting ahead is too high, almost as though one can’t breathe sometimes. Florida on the other hand, although isn’t as “lit” and keeps me at ease even through the toughest of times.

1. The Weather

New York is ridiculously cold most of the time of the year whereas winter in Florida is snowman made out of sand. No joke! You will actually hear people say “OMG I almost had to wear gloves today.” However, Florida can get excessively sticky during the summers but June through August in New York can be just as awful. So for someone like me who is looking for a way around common cold, Florida is your place. It keeps you warm all through the years, in and out, often quite literally.

2. The People

If you are travelling to New York for the first time, there is something you should know in advance - New Yorkers are busy! If you have lost your way, I am sorry, but you would have to figure that one out on your own. If, however, you do end up asking for directions there is a huge possibility you might be disappointed at their behavior. In case you didn’t know, a survey was carried out and NYC won it for being the rudest city.

On the other hand, Floridians are one of the nicest people you will ever luck into. If you are stranded in the middle of nowhere there is almost a 100% guarantee that you will find someone who is willing to drop you off back at home, even if that means going out of their way.

3. The Subway

Regardless of how convenient the subway is, there is always one person or another looking to rip you off. The ever-circulating range of scams, from fake tickets to broken bottle play, are quite the daily thing at the subway station. Now moving on to Florida, you won’t see a subway here but neither would you have anyone try and pull wool over your eyes.

4. "America’s Dirtiest City"

NYC has been consistent in keeping its spot as the no.1 for grit and grime. It is super smelly and run down with most neighborhoods. Conversely, Florida seems to be way down that list. One more reason why Florida is bae.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
