11 Advantages Of Attending A City School

Most College students don't study at a school based in a busy city; usually because of how expensive it can be, how dangerous it can be, and how living is inconvenient. Besides the three negative reason, students in city locations have the most advantages, and the most fun. a small percentage of us attend schools in New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami. New York City is known to be the best city in the country, and i can give 11 reasons why. The perspective of New York City student is different then any other New Yorker. We see things more practically, have more responsibilities then the average college student, and yet still know how to make it worth the experience.

1. The city is your campus.

How could you not make the best of it? Living in the best city in the world, there are endless resources and opportunities. The world is literally at the palm of your hand.

2. “Small private college”

Is it really though? Everyone knows everyone in class, but outside school it’s a whole different crowd. It’s the best of both worlds.

3. You never have to worry about bumping into someone.

Everyone hates running into people they know, especially when they are in a rush to get to class. Once you leave the school buildings, it's impossible to find someone or have an accidentally “bump in.”

4. Street meat is a real thing.

I know it doesn’t sound so appealing, but to a NYC hungry student it does. Need something quick, convenient and hot? The cart is right on the corner. Street meat is our cafeteria.

5. You walk fast… but like everywhere.

In the halls and up the stairs, students in NYC never seem to stop with the fast-paced trend.

6. You quickly adapt.

Whether you’re a native or not, New Yorkers never fail to welcome you to the lifestyle with closed arms and no smiles.

7. People are forever jealous you go to school in NYC.

It’s just another day for me.

8. The city motivates you.

The fast-paced lifestyle, business suits and all. The common trend on Madison Ave is getting sh*t done. Feeding off of peoples energy off the subway rides in the morning to feeding off of rush hour at the end of the day, never makes you feel exhausted but instead excited.

9. The subway.

No such thing as a DD in a New York City. Number one use for convenience and transportation.

10. Workaholic!

You will always have excellent work ethic. Whether you are a New Yorker or a city student, the environment around you inspires you.

11. The "New Yorker" attitude

Saved the best for last, its apart of the package as you adapt the city. You all of a sudden become afraid of nothing or anyone. You dont hold back your words as much as you use to.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
