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?!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
