19 Subway Thoughts As Told By 'Inside Out'

If you live in New York, you are most likely very familiar with the subway system. It is often a very convenient way to get to where you are going for fairly cheap. It is an imperative part of NYC living, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its flaws. It seems that our favorite animated movie tells a pretty clear story of your average ride on the subway.

1. When you make the decision to take the subway

2. You walk down the stairs only to find out they're doing construction on your line

Shout out to the 1 which always seems to have delays

3. When you swipe your metro card only to find out its empty

Or worse it has like 2.37 on it

4. Or when the turnstile makes you swipe your card three times

And then you're paranoid it charged you more than once

5. But the worst is when you need to ask the person in the booth a question and they give you attitude

This is literally your only job.

6. When you expect the performers to be like this

7. But they end up being like this

8. So you just stare at them like this

9. When people try to solicit money from you

10. When you see someone peeing with no regard to who is watching

11. Or an inebriated person tossing their cookies

12. When your favorite song comes on shuffle and you forget you're in public

So baby I'm just gonna shake shake shake shake shake...

13. When the doors won't close because an oblivious human is standing in the way

"Hi sir- yes, you're the one holding us all up."

14. When no one will get up for the pregnant woman or child to sit

15. When the person next to you clearly needs a shower

16. When your car is totally empty

17. When the car is packed and you get smushed

18. When you finally get to your stop but no one will let you out

19. And when you finally make it to your destination

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
