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.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
