1. NYC is literally the greatest place to go to college...
...but then you decided to make your parents pay the ultimate price. NYC will strip you of your identity and now you have to strip just to make enough for books.
2. "New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of. There's nothin' you can't do."
Obviously Jay Z and Alicia Keys don't live in the Financial District, because everything closes by 8 p.m. Or they've never tried to go see the Rockefeller Tree at 2 a.m. with roommates. This city sleeps. Don't let them lie to you.
3. NYC has AMAZING ethnic food...
EXCEPT MEXICAN FOOD Hands down, your best bet is Chipotle. I'm from Arizona so I think I ~know~ a good burrito when I see it.
4. Seamless will destroyed your wallet.
And your jeans. Your wallet & your jeans will be destroyed by one little app. #idfwy
5. This is ~heartbreaking~ but there is no Central Perk..
And if you find a Joey Tribbiani, please hook a sista up.
6. You'll find the love of your life on the Subway...
But then you hear that dreaded "Watch out for the closing doors, please." and that Tom Cruise look-a-like is flying to Atlantic Avenue without even catching a glimpse of rats crossing your ~fresh~ pedi. Hey, at least your toes are on fleek.
7. Everything is hella expensive.
Actually, yeah, okay, that's not a misconception. Unless you like eating $1 pizza every day. Well.. Okay, that's not so bad. Carry on.
8. Coffee shoppes look so suave & sophisticated.
Except that on every corner of every block is either a Starbucks or a Dunkin' Donuts. Mama loves them Munchkins.
9. Native New Yorkers are rude.
But, they'll be the first ones to let you cut in line when you're ready to order your authentic Chipotle. Let's just say- *not all heroes wear capes*
