8 Things New Yorkers Miss When They Move

There's no place quite like home.

If you've ever moved from New York, you know there are things that you will miss. In the case that you happened to move to Florida, or are just taking a long break here, you will notice that things just aren't the same in Florida. Here are some examples of what you'll miss.

1. The bagels and rolls.

Even if you get a bagel or roll, it will not taste remotely close and you will go and get one once you get back to New York. Also, let's not even get into it about a bacon, egg and cheese.

2. Everything being fast-paced.

In N.Y., everything is so fast. The people, the driving and the service. In Florida you have to wait for everything, and everyone and nothing will frustrate you more than being behind a slow person.

3. Being close to the city.

By "the city" we all know it's the great NYC. Even if you don't go to the city that often or don't find it to be as special as everyone says, that's okay. Its your city and you know that no one can talk bad about it because when it comes down to it, it's the best place in the world.

4. The pizza

Lets not even get into the topic of pizza. New York pizza is the best and it's impossible to find a pizza place that compares in Florida (or anywhere else for that matter).

5. The holidays

The holidays in New York are magical. The weather gets colder and all of the trees are decorated. And let's not forget about the holiday workers that make everything so spirited. When you're in Florida they tend to decorate palm trees and you can still go to the beach. That just doesn't scream "holidays" to me.

6. The changing leaves in the Fall

Hands down, fall is my favorite season. The leaves change and that crispness begins to flow in the air. It's magical. When you're in Florida all you have are some palm tree leaves falling down. It's just not the same.

7. The mountains for hiking

Hiking the mountains is a great way to be with friends and get some exercise. There are so many options in New York of places to go. However, everything in Florida is pretty much flat and the "mountains" they have are nothing even close.

8. The people

Let's not forget about the people. Nothing compares to the people you see in New York, especially the city. Anytime someone does something crazy, you just tend to ignore it because in reality, nothing is too crazy for N.Y. When you're in Florida, you actually tend to miss this craziness since it's a whole different world here.

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.
