The New York mentality can only be distinguished by a New Yorker. However, others might think we're normal.

I think if I ever leave the city, it'd be pretty difficult. :( I'm used to tall landscapes, polluted air, creeper, homeless people, MTA, easy access to stores, and such. It's THE LIFE. Maybe not the kind I want for college, but it's definitely something I'd miss if I ever leave for another state or area.
