Being from New York City makes you different from everyone else. Your slang and habits are weird to your out of state friends but you still love being from New York. Here a few things about New Yorkers others won't understand.
1. Paying $6.00 for a Bacon Egg and Cheese has you like...
Yeah, I admit it I've paid six dollars for a croissant bacon egg and cheese on campus. There's no reason I should spend more on a sandwich on campus than I have on a bacon egg and cheese on a hero and a drink in the city.
2. Dollar pizza is better than any pizza they sell on campus
There's no shame in paying a dollar for a pizza especially when they're so good.
3. Meeting people from Staten Island reminds you that Staten Island is actually a borough
Does Staten Island even count?
4. When you're going to Manhattan you say you're going to "the city"
5. You don't close your coat no matter how cold it is
6. You know that a chopped cheese and a cheeseburger taste completely different
*A chopped cheese is a seasoned chopped up burger patty with melted cheese served on a roll or a hero*
7. You don't go to Times Square to hang out
Tourists. So many tourists.
8. You get upset when people walk too slow
Travel time is cut in half for you and people on campus don't seem to get that.
9. You're prepared to yell "back door" whenever you're on a bus
You'll say excuse me a million times but there's no way the bus driver is going to keep going with you still on the bus.
10. When anyone tries to tell you New York City isn't great
No, New York City is magical and you just don't understand.
