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?!

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.
