This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MMM chapter.

1.     You attend more Broadway shows than football games

2.     You know of about three people on campus who actually play sports, but you know about 3,000 who dream of being famous

3.     You don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot because you walk everywhere

4.     You walk even if it’s raining, snowing, hailing, windy, or in the middle of a hurricane

5.     When you can’t walk, HopStop is the only way you can seamlessly use public transportation

6.     You refer to Central Park as your quad

7.     You would be unable to survive without the magic that is Seamless

8.     You are fully aware that ordering Insomnia Cookies at 2a.m. is the best way to eat cookies

9.     You know that the line at Trader Joe’s is the stuff nightmares are made of

10. You think that celebrities are cool, but you’re so used to seeing them that it’s not even that exciting anymore

11. You know that things don’t close. Want to grab a bite to eat at 1a.m.? No prob.

12. You avoid Times Square at all costs. Mostly because slow walkers (aka tourists) are THE WORST.

13. You know that money seems to disappear more quickly here than anywhere else

14. Which is why $1 slices of pizza are the best kind of slices

15. You know that field trips for a class include going to some of the best museums in the world
