Moving apartments in the Big Apple is so stressful!

6 Things All People Who Move Around NYC Can Relate To
Unpakt

Spending the last two years in a dorm was pretty much terrible. So getting out to find an apartment was very exciting...until we had to actually move into the apartment. Here are 6 things anyone would absolutely hate about moving in the Big Apple.


1. Moving furniture around NYC is hard.


The city is especially not nice to you when you’re trying to lug around furniture from point A to point B. Will the dining table you bought off of the Free and For Sale Facebook page fit in an Uber? Will it even fit in the elevator?

2. You get REALLY lazy.

Looking at the mess around your new apartment, you really just do NOT want to touch that mess. Then you just get really really REALLY lazy.

3. Do not take furniture for granted!

Spending two days without furniture was rough. You miss your bed, your desk, and even a drawer or closet for your clothes. Do NOT take them for granted at ALL!

4. Or WiFi!

Might be sounding like a millennial, but living a week without wifi is HARD. In our case, three girls starting their internships really needed to use wifi to e-mail their employers. We might have spent more time at a nearby café than we did in our apartment.

5. You eventually get sick and tired of all the mess.

6. Everyone is NOT on your schedule.

One thing not to do when moving: PROCRASTINATE. The main reason we had a couple of days without furniture and no wifi is because we procrastinated in calling the movers, people who set off the wifi, etc. They were all booked around the time we were moving in and the earliest dates were all a week later.

So if you're moving in the big city, do NOT be us!

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
