20 Comments You've Definitely Heard If You're From New York, But You Don't Live In NYC

In This Article:

There are just certain things that New Yorkers are bound to be asked at least once in their lives. To summarize, yes Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt both filmed movies upstate, no, I don't have a Brooklyn accent, and yes, the winters get frigid. Here is a more detailed list of questions that true New Yorkers will be asked:

1. Wait, so you don't live in the City?

media1.tenor.com

Believe it or not, New York state includes more than just New York City.

2. Doesn't it get, like, really cold?

i.gifer.com

Yes, actually. The last winter we had came in at a whole 16 degrees which is well below freezing.

3. Isn't your pizza really good?

media1.tenor.com

Somehow, no other state can make pizza like NY. It must be the Hudson River water.

4. Do you have to take the subway everywhere?

media.giphy.com

Again, not everywhere is the City. The subway doesn't even exist in most parts of NY.

5. Why don't you have an accent?

media.giphy.com

Usually only people in the City or natives of the City have an accent.

6. Are all New Yorkers agressive drivers?

media.giphy.com

Easy answer: yes.

7. Do you like the Yankees?

media.giphy.com

There is a constant rivalry between the Mets and the Yankees but everyone knows that true New Yorkers root for the Yanks.

8. Is it true that James Charles is from New York?

img.buzzfeed.com

Yes, and he grew up and went to school 10 minutes from where I live.

9. Did you know Salt with Angelina Jolie was filmed in New York?

thumbs.gfycat.com

More specifically, it was filmed in Albany near the Interstate 787 highway - basically in my backyard.

10. AND The Place Beyond the Pines with Ryan Gosling??

78.media.tumblr.com

The ice cream shop scene was filmed in a little town called Schenectady that I used to walk to after school and the diner scene was filmed at a place walking distance from my house. Pretty cool, I know.

11. Albany? Where is that?

pix.epodunk.com

Only the capital of the entire state...

12. Okay so if you don't LIVE in the City, how often do you go?

media.giphy.com

Not often; most upstaters aren't a huge fan.

13. Which football team do you root for?

usatthebiglead.files.wordpress.com

Jets, Giants, Bills, or Patriots (New England, not New York, but still an option)?

14. What's "SUNY?"

mediaassets.wkbw.com

"State University of New York" which includes (but isn't limited to) SUNY Albany, SUNY Adirondack, SUNY Cobleskill, SUNY Oneonta, SUNY Cortland, and SUNY Canton.

15. Why did your license plate change colors?

media0.giphy.com

I honestly don't want to talk about it (and no one else does either).

16. What's Stewart's?

3.bp.blogspot.com

Only the best ice cream shop ever - that's connected to a gas station.

17. Why is apple picking such a big deal to you?

media.giphy.com

New York has the best apples and apple picking is a sacred tradition - no questions asked.

18. Why do you always lock your car and house?

media2.giphy.com

First of all, it's safe. Second of all, New Yorkers are crazy.

19. Who is Billy Fuccillo?

archive.naplesnews.com

Look up "HUUUUUUUGE New York commercial" on YouTube to find out.

20. Wait, isn't the Saratoga Race Course famous?

184cda7661b9609f94b0-f196c43f59505ef65734afae659eea38.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com

It's only the place where famous people go every summer to act boujee, burn money, and wear fancy hats.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
