On Hello, All That!
I ended up in New York essentially by accident (NYU was the 'best' school I got into), and what really shocked me about living here is how many people have such a fetishized notion of the city -- yeah it can be cool, but yeah it can be really shitty too. Way too many people try to force being a 'city girl (or gay)' onto themselves. For a select few creative- or business-types it really works and they achieve success not possible many other places in the country (or the world). The other 90% end up as overworked, underpaid executive assistants that take the abuse because they think their life is like some glamorous movie set just because they saw Marc Jacobs at Starbucks once, when paralegals in Topeka have lives just as cool as they do ...
