For many of us, when we envisioned moving to New York City for the first time we thought our lives would be more along the lines of shopping for Manolo’s and having brunch every weekend and less studying and working 24/7. Real talk: how did Carrie afford that gorgeous apartment – and that designer stocked closet – with just a freelance writing job? As much as Sex and the City set the bar a little too high for how we pictured our lives in the city, there are some things they got just right. Keep reading for 10 gifs from Sex and the City that all FIT students can relate to.
1. Rolling up to class and seeing what everyone is wearing
People watching is one of the best parts of NYC, TBH.
2. That feeling after a really good shopping spree
If only we all had closets like Carrie’s to dance around in.
3. @ the interviewer who didn’t give you the job you wanted
Shockingly, New York City is a lot more competitive than your suburban hometown.
4. When your friend from home asks for your opinion on her outfit
You love your bestie, you just don’t necessarily love her argyle sweater vest collection.
5. Realizing how much amazing food NYC has to offer
6. How it feels when your friends from home visit
If you live close enough for visitors, of course (I’m looking at you, Long Island and Jersey).
7. When you spot the most perfect shoes you’ve ever laid eyes on…
We’re all shopaholics here at FIT.?
8. … and then you spot the price tag
9. Trying to explain new trends to your non fashion major friends
“It was all over the runways this season, I swear”
10. How your squad feels going out on a Friday night
With your besties and the city, who wouldn’t be happy?
Living in New York isn’t quite what the movies make it out to be, but it’s pretty magical if you ask me. It’s a lot of hard work, but nothing worth having comes easy. I may not be Carrie Bradshaw (yet), but I’m working my way there.
