Ohhh, You're From New York

Ohhh, You're From New York

The classic, yet sometimes dreaded, "Oh you're from New York" card. If you're from New York, there's a pretty large chance you've heard this before. People from New York are definitely a different breed of human beings compared to the rest of America. And why is this? It's because we're from the greatest place there is and we know it, duh. 

16 dead give-aways that you're from NY:

1. You get super defensive when someone associates New York with New Jersey.

2. Any bagel outside of NY obviously won't be good enough, especially outside of the city. 

3. Same with the pizza. 

4. Your body physically can't walk at a slow rate. 

5. Your blood pressure rises when you're walking behind someone who's body can walk at a slow rate. 

6. You don't understand people who get excited about the idea of New York City-- just because you were spoiled enough to have it in your backyard.

7. The same goes for people who hate the idea of New York City. (How dare someone not appreciate the city??!)

8. Anddd the same goes for the people who say they've never been to the city. (This is an entirely foreign concept to us)

9. You're a proud aggressive driver. 

10. Your road rage is real. I mean super real-- full out cursing at drivers, throwing your hands up, adding in an extra honk so the other driver knows they've f***ed up.

11. You are probably accustomed to bad manners and still get surprised when someone holds the door for you. 

12. You've perfected the why-are-you-talking-to-me? glare

13. You've been to enough Yankee games that they've become old news to you. 

14. Once you're out of New York, you have days where all you think about is your favorite deli or diner-- since only the best ones are in New York. 

15. When you tell people where you're from, they instantly make the oh-it-all-makes-sense-now face.  

16. You know deep down, that no matter how far away you go to college or move to, there's a super high chance you'll end up right back in New York. And hey, that's not necessarily a bad thing either.

If you're from New York, you probably agreed with most of the statements in this article. If you've been to New York, you probably reminisced on the asshole that slammed the door to Starbucks in your face as he ran past you. If you know someone from New York, you should probably send them this article so they know they're not alone. After all, us New Yorkers gotta stick together, am I right?!

1. Nails done hair done everything did / Oh you fancy huh

You're pretty much feeling yourself. New haircut, clothes, shoes, everything. New year, new you, right? You're ready for this semester to kick off.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
