Chris: I had an Aunt Peggy once.
Chris: She was large.
Alexandra: I had an Aunt Piggy once.
Alexandra: She was a farm animal.
NYU, you beast.
In case you weren’t totally sure NYU is the epicenter of bureaucratic bullshit, here is an anecdote:
Our dorm is two bedrooms. We would prefer the other bedroom since it is not also a kitchen/common area. Our two suitemates are both moving out next semester (going abroad/found better housing, I swear we’re not repulsive). So we would like to move into their room. However,...
silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city. It snowed big heavy flakes today. Because I hail from the north, I am always a little disappointed by the NYC snowfall, but today was impressive.
oh my god, oh my god you guys.
Anne Hathaway came into the restuarant where I worked. She was wearing a ponytail and eating noodles. I wear a ponytail and eat noodles! omg we’re like the same.
Conclusion: New York City rocks.
HELP!
Cute waiter I met from work asks me if I want to grab a drink tomorrow. Any ideas for etiquette on how to approach the fact that I’m underage but still interested?
it's 9:06 p.m. on Wednesday and I realize
I haven’t changed my clothes since: 11 a.m. on Tuesday
…needless to say I haven’t showered since then.
I haven’t left the dorm since: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday
I have cranked out 1 essay + 2 halves of essays
Today I’ve eaten: about 18 Christmas cookies
my favorite place in NYC
I also am not going to pretend to be some snarky college student who knows about the greatest underground bar/cafe/club/restaurant/sadomasochism dungeon that is accessed only by tapping the 4th brick up, 5th brick over in the wall of the Leaky Cauldron with your wand.
but that said, I have been living here for almost 2 years, and in the tri-state area for way longer than that, where crowding onto...
My favorite place in nyc
Times Square. I’m not being typical or predictable, just honest and unpretentious. I’m not going to pretend to be a hipster nyu undergrad who loves the ambience and people in some hole-in-the-wall coffee shop in the west village. While I’m sure that is a cool place, I get such a high from being immeadiately overwhelmed with lights, sound, and people when I get out of the subway...
Feeling safe in NYC
I took a few college courses at the local catholic college back home during my junior and senior years of high school. Whenever venturing onto the campus past nightfall, I would run as fast as i could between my car and the building out of sheer terror that I would get attacked/abducted/raped. Whoever thinks Manhattan in the year 2008 isn’t safe, I would like to see them comfortably meander...
Things that seem normal in suburbia, but mean...
There are some things that jsut take on entirely new identities within the realm of sophistication that new york city affords, in comparison with po-dunk small town suburbia.
Dunkin Donuts
Wearing your high school t shirts, but not in a nostalgic/ironic way. [similarly: a class ring]
Comfortable, big, baggy sweatpants
Listening to country music
“Y’all”
Common...

Rare Sighting
Girl sitting next to me in my Latin American Studies class drinking regular coke - not diet! What an endangered species: those college gurls who still drink regular. It’s like the white tiger of NYU
I'm in Love
This morning I found your harry potter hooded t-shirt in my under-the-bed clothes pile and gave it back. Maybe you don’t even remember this. Maybe you were wondering where it had gone. Maybe you were annoyed because you had just done laundry yesterday and now you have one unclean item that you’re going to have to wait until the next load is done to wear. Whatever your reaction, I think...
I agree wholeheartedly
and would like to also add this small supplement:
If you are a man who runs one of those coffee/breakfast stands, and I order a cup of coffee from you, a totally old and unfunny joke to make is “light and sweet, just like you?” This wasn’t really funny the first time someone said it, and sixty times later, it’s still not really funny. But thank you for the free donut...
Advice to guys
I’m not generalizing women, but I feel as though there are a few things that we can all agree on in regards to how the opposite sex should act around us. I’m not going to tell our dude readers on what they can do, but merely communicate some ideas as to what you shouldn’t do, should the impulse overcome you.
1.) Do not tell me how pretty you think other girls are when...
