Top 10 Signs You're Adapting To New York Living

If you are new to the Big Apple, and can't decide if you fit in, here are some signs that you are doing it RIGHT!

10. You wake up everyday and have to convince yourself you are NOT on vacation!

Whether you've been living in the city for a day, a week, or even a month, the adjustment is hard. You wake up everyday and still have to convince yourself that you actually LIVE in New York. You are NOT late for your flight home, and you no longer own a car!

9. You've visited the Penn Station Kmart more times than you'd like to admit.

(Bed Bug Covers, sheets, water bottles, towels, toilet paper) Thank God this place exists, or else you'd be screwed! Wait...what? $.99 cent store? WHAT?!?! Don't worry....you'll discover those gems WAAAAAYYYYY after you've blown all your money at Kmart.

Finding your way around has been quite the adventure. In fact, they should have asked YOU to write the screenplay to "Home Alone 2." If you find yourself lost in Central Park, while being chased by "Wet Bandits", take a minute to think. "What would Kevin McCallister do?"

6. You've disobeyed your parents, and talked to a stranger.

It turns out, that not all strangers want to kidnap you in a van and kill you later. (To be fair, most kidnappers in New York don't own vans, which makes kidnapping more difficult in general) Whether it's been five minutes or five seconds, your interaction with a stranger gave you a small glimmer of hope. You'll probably never see them again, but you sure did enjoy their company.

5. " Two slices of pizza + a drink for $5" excites you!

It may have taken you awhile, but you've FINALLY figured out the train! You've stopped refilling the same MetroCard week after week. A monthly pass is WAY more affordable, and now you can take as many rides as you want! Take that subway! You can't hold me down! (Well...maybe until the next stop)

3. One bagel please...86 the toaster!

That's right. No more toasted bagels for you! You've discovered that FRESH New York bagels are by far the best. A toaster would ruin your entire morning! (or afternoon, or evening. You eat bagels...ALL.THE.TIME.)

2. Celebrity Sightings!

1. You're ignoring "Showtime" in NO TIME!

The first time you saw it, you were amazed. The fifth time you saw it, you weren't even phased. While the tourists snap chat their moves, you're busy listening to your favorite podcast. Hopefully no one cracks their head open before you reach your stop. They do put strippers to shame, so if you're feeling nice, you'll still add a dollar to the hat.
