Before coming to New York, I imagined myself living a life that shares at least some similarities with any of the characters in Gossip Girl. Being here for four years, going to a high school that isn’t even right in New York City, the great amount of time I have spent in the city has definitely taught me what a normal day as a New Yorker is like. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, no matter where you live; you probably share the same ups and downs, and understand what it’s like to live in this great city. Here are 20 relatable signs you were raised in NYC.

Too fast. And you’ve mastered the skill to walk through a crowd of people. You never realize how fast you walk until you go somewhere outside of New York.
