What is everyday life in NYC like?

We shall go through a few details, to give you an insight of a common day in NYC. No, it's not that bad as it looks like, and no, it's not that good as it looks like. Everyday life in NYC shall push you from the bottom to the top and back hundreds of times. The sooner you adjust to that, the better New York life you shall have. So, here is what you can expect from a regular day in NYC:

• There is a lot of shoving- Entering the subway, entering the building, entering the stores- you'll be shoved and you'll be forced to shove to actually enter anywhere.
• So many people- so many different moods. Don't pay attention to other people's emotions. Especially if someone's crying or being sad. Would you like others to look your way if you were in such a situation?
• Walking quickly is a regular thing. Get used to it, or be late everywhere. Fast-paced life is a synonym for an NYC lifestyle.
• Be tolerant, so you could expect the others to be tolerant for you. You won't like many people, but many people won't like you too. A tolerance is what solves problems like that.
• No, don't think that New York City is the best place in the world. Be sure of it! And act like you're honored to have a chance of living in the No 1 city!
• Always be prepared to change the job. It is a normal part of everyday life in NYC. Yes, there are so many great jobs in New York City. But the employers are also looking for great people. So as soon as you make one or two mistakes (and everybody makes mistakes), know that there's a probability to lose your job.
• Be prepared to eat quickly if you intend to eat outside the office. As we said, NYC is a busy city, so you'll lose the most of the time while getting to the place where you'd like to eat.
• Everything is so expensive. I mean everything, literally! No matter how much money you make, don't just relax too much and enjoy too many things you need to pay for in only one day.
• In the end of the day, NYC is a great place to live in. You can have a good time no matter what day or what time it is. Whenever you feel like doing something, in most cases you'll be able to do it. Hence, no matter how much stress you experience during your day, you'll have a chance to have a good time afterward!
