50 reasons..

...to be pumped that you live in nyc. i think a lot of us could use some reminders these days, amiright ladies?!!? some of these are a bit cheesy, but here are a few that i identified with:

50. Sending your laundry out for someone else to wash and dry it is not only convenient, it's just good business.

48. The secret Chick Fil-A at the NYU dining hall.

26. Smart people are the norm, not the exception. (Which doesn't mean they're sane, but at least no one's boring.)

25. Except in select 'hoods like Park Slope and perhaps the Upper West Side, children are viewed as mysterious beings, rarely sighted and only occasionally understood, like pixies or magical small butlers. Until they scream, in which case, they are banished from the palace.

24. When you fly back into the city after a vacation or business trip, no matter how long you've lived here, you get that butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling.

19. There's no shame in sticking your fingers in your ears like an anal weirdo when an ambulance goes by screeching.

10. Subway rage. Bike-lane rage. Walking rage. Random rage. These are our therapy.

7. Subway "prewalking," in which you walk to the exact right spot on the platform to board the train car that will save you the most time upon exit, exists and has a name. Gotta respect. (via)
