Best City Ever

Share definition Flag
It's obviously NYC. I mean, you knew what NYC meant without me even telling you it was New York City. That's proof enough, isn't it?

If you're stubborn, or if you're from Boston, Chicago, or Los Angeles, here's more proof that NYC's better than any other city in the world:

1) Jealous cities always compare themselves to NYC.

2) New York City is bigger than any other US city in both ways - by population AND area.

3) You can see a person from every culture in the world just by standing on a sidewalk in Manhattan during the first ten minutes of rush hour.

4) We have the best pizzas, the best bagels, the best Italian food, the best shopping areas, the best sports teams, the best Christmas tree, the best tourist attractions... we have the best, well, EVERYTHING...

5) Where else have you seen a place with eight Chinatowns and five Little Italies?

6) It's the third safest city out of the twenty largest cities in the US. So don't be callin' us criminals.

7) We experience all four seasons. You can swim in the summer and go sledding during winter.

8) The terrorists tried to destroy us 'cause of our awesomeness. And guess what? They failed. 'Cause, as I said, we're awesome.

9) We're home to many of the world's greatest rappers.

10) NYC has the largest subway system in America, meaning you can get from Brooklyn to the Bronx without even touching a steering wheel.
1) Jealous dude: We're better than New York, bro... WE'RE the best city ever!

2) Hey, did you know that NYC has over eight million people and is four hundred sixty-nine square miles large?

3) Oh my gosh! I saw fifty-one Caucasians, forty-six African Americans, fifty-three Hispanics, and thirty-six Asians in just thirty seconds!

4) Man 1: Hey, have you tried a NYC pizza?
Man 2: Yeah, it's the best in the world.

5) Get over here, Sam! Which Chinatown are we going to?

6) This place is as safe as Boise, Idaho.

7) Woman 1: Look! It's snowing!
Woman 2: Wow. You don't see that much in Los Angeles.

8) New Yorker 1: Remember 9/11?
New Yorker 2: Yeah. The terrorists will never win.

9) Whoa, you know 50 Cent? He's from New York City!

10) Lady 1: I just got here from the Queens.
Lady 2: That's really far away! How much was the gas?
Lady 1: Oh, I didn't drive. I took the subway.

Striver

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
