Clubs: Yes, we really do party at them. No, we cannot converse whilst at a night club. The music is fucking loud and it’s fucking dark. Add Comment Especially since we live on the UWS where brownstones and doorman-less apartment buildings are more common than sixty story glass multiplexes, we see dogs EVERYWHERE. It’s basically a test of how much of a New Yorker you are, or how much of an Upper West Sider you are, whether or not you have a dog. And then if you are one of the elite dog owners, you are in constant competition with all the other city slickers who think it’s cool to make a golden retriever live in a 500 sq. ft. apartment... ...Because Thanksgiving is the fucking best. Let’s just think about it for a second- the whole country gets 2 days off (really 3, like Wednesday before Turkey Day is such a joke) for the sole purpose of having a huge dinner and jump starting the US economy. The federal government basically designated Wednesday as a means to boost revenue for transportation agencies, Thursday as a day to support grocery stores and farmers, and Friday as a national shopping day to support giant retail conglomerates who actually all live in Italy and China. Go America! We almost struggled to find something relevant to write about this week because since all of the Sandy shenanigans, Halloweekend, holidays, elections, and other nonsense that’s been going on, we’ve been able to write posts that are actually relevant to the moment and that aren’t just us babbling about ourselves (but you love those, too, admit it). Regardless, we now find ourselves in one of those dead weekends. Awkward because fall break is long over, it’s not quite Thanksgiving yet, people sort of have midterms and papers but not really…what defines us at this moment if not endless parties or studying?! As we’ve watched our friends from other schools come and go every gorgeous October weekend, we have been trapped in NYC with only 3 day weekends...and only 2 day weekends for us overachievers who intern on Fridays. But finally fall break has arrived! How are we going to spend it? For most of us, Hurricane Sandy was the first (and for some of us only) major storm that we experienced in college and away from home. This is not significant because it’s frightening to be on our own, or because we don’t know how to prepare for a storm—Bloomberg saw to that, thanks for the survival kit, bro! It is significant because OMFG BEING STUCK IN A FUCKING DORM ROOM FOR 40 HOURS IS FUCKING HELL. So Halloween isn’t until Wednesday, but obviously we will be spending all weekend raging as if this holiday were the holy grail of celebrations. Which it is when we’re in college. Why is Halloween so epicly awesome when we’re in college? We’ll tell you why...
