20 things that happen to you when you move to NYC
1. You carry a large bag with you because there's no way you're going home after work/before happy hour to change or freshen up.
2. Your walking speed goes from 1 mph to 20 mph. And anything in your way will get run over.
3. Pizza becomes a regular part of your diet.
4. You bring an umbrella, snow boots, and sunglasses with you because all seasons can happen in one day.
5. You will find a way to fit in that packed subway car.
6. Rats? You hardly notice them.
7. You get accustomed to living in small spaces. Your bed is not only your sleeping sanctuary but your desk and dining table.
8. Spiders become the least of your worries now that you're dealing with cockroaches and bedbugs.
9. A $12 cocktail is normal. $8 is a steal.
10. You either learn to cook or don't cook at all and order Seamless for every meal.
11. You're able to doze off on the subway and wake up just in time for your stop.
12. Any water strangely dripping on you is (hopefully) from an air conditioner.
13. You've met and gone on a date with someone you met waiting for the subway or in line at Trader Joes.
14. You carry napkins in your purse during the summer to mop up the sweat.
15. A rent-controlled apartment with an elevator, dishwasher, and laundry is like finding a needle in a haystack.
16. When you travel outside of NYC, every city feels miniature.
17. Saving money is an unknown concept.
18. You will avoid traveling through Times Square at all costs.
19. Tourists are the bane of your existence.
20. Commuting becomes second nature. You know that even if you're only going 20 blocks, it'll take you 1/2 hour to get there.
