The Perfect Day in NYC

Let me plan your day in the city!

The Perfect Day in NYC

If you have plans to go to the Big Apple for a day trip, but are stumped on what to do, fear no more! I have set out an itinerary, so to speak, for a day trip in NYC.

First, you will take a train into Grand Central. Make sure to take time to marvel at the historic ceiling in the main concourse.

Next, you will exit the station onto 42nd street. Walk westward until you reach Bryant Park. If you visit in the winter time, bring your ice skates and shopping bags, as the Winter Village has shops and an ice skating rink. If you visit during another time of the year, you can sit at a table, lounge on the grass, grab something to eat, or play table tennis.

Continue to walk westward down 42nd street until you reach the famous Times Square. Here, you can shop at a variety of stores, pick up some souvenirs, and of course taking some insta- worthy photos.

Then, I suggest that you head south on seventh avenue. Along this street, I recommend checking out the Museum at FIT if you are interested in fashion; entry is free and the exhibitions are really cool. Also, on 23rd street there a donut store called "Doughnut Plant." Here, you can treat your tastebuds by trying unique donut flavors like matcha green tea and peanut butter & jam.

Once you're full and your sweet tooth is satisfied, continue down seventh avenue and cut westward to see the location of the Friends Apartment. If you're a fan of the hit sitcom "Friends," then seeing the exterior of the apartment in which the characters supposedly lived is really exciting.

To complete your trip, you should head over to Washington Square Park where you can sit by the beautiful fountain and people-watch or listen to street performers.

I hope you follow this itinerary and know that there are hundred of thousands of other things that you can do in New York City-- but, this will get you started on your journey of exploring the city.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
