Why New York City Is Exactly Like You'd Expect It To Be

It is hard to put into words the feeling you get standing among the tallest buildings that you have ever seen. To be swallowed by the lights, the cab drivers hollering curse words, and being among many who are taking it all in for the first time as well as yourself.

Learning the rhythms of NYC is about as easy as learning how to walk, terrifying at first, but with a few steps you're in business.

From figuring out the rules of the road which is- there are no rules- to knowing which subway will take you in the right direction, and finally, never hesitate, when in doubt just go. New York City is just about as amazing and breath taking as you see it portrayed in the movies.

The buildings, the people, and the sounds all mixed into this one glorious picture of pizza, theater, and people. It was truly a mesmerizing experience and you start to feel like you can become anybody just by simply walking the streets.

Jay Z and Alicia Keys put it right when they sang, "New York, I think I'm going where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York these streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you." Because, it's true. NYC is a place where dreams are made, discovered, and put into action. It's hard not to catch a buzz just by passing by Radio City Music Hall or by one of the many Broadway shows.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life.
