The City that Never Sleeps

The City that Never Sleeps

Spring Break is best friends to college kids. Many people go to tropical islands and whatnot. Well on my spring break I went to NYC for a day to see a Broadway show. But I am going to tell you about the day I had in the city.

Starting the day off my waking up at 5:15 am to catch the 8:33 am MTA train out of Poughkeepsie, NY. We caught the train and headed into NYC. We arrived in Grand Central Terminal at 10:15. Once my mom and I arrived we stopped at a Japanese bookstore called Kinokuniya and they sell all kinds of cool little trinkets and animae books written in Japanese.

After the bookstore, we stopped and got an iced coffee at a local coffee shop. When then went and sat in Bryant Park because it was 60 degrees outside sunny and warm. Bryant Park is so fun to hang out. It is a good distance away from the heart of Manhattan and the busyness of the city.

The next stop on our agenda was Rockefeller Center because I have never gone and so we walked from Bryant Park to Rockefeller Center. We also saw NBC studios where the Today's Show gets filmed and saw where The Late Show starring Jimmy Fallon is filmed. We also saw Radio City Music Hall (fun fact the 2017 Tony Awards are occurring at Radio City Music Hall).









After seeing Rockefeller Center we went to lunch at a restaurant called Danji which is a Korean Fusion restaurant right in the heart of the theater district. My mom and I both got Bip Bim Bop a Korean dish and some mandu which was delicious.

After lunch, we walked around Times Square we looked at other shows that are on Broadway or are soon to be in previews. After doing that we then headed over to the Brooks Atkinson Theater to see Waitress the Musical.

When the show was over we decided to stop at another coffee shop called Bibble and Sip which is across the street from The Gershwin Theater (Wicked is currently there). We got tea and frappuccino and some sweets before caching the MTA train back home.


I had a fun time in the City and when I graduate from College I can't wait to hopefully move to NYC. But I had the most fun hanging out with my mom and going to see Waitress.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
