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

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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
