There are many different things to do in New York City, but summer is almost over. You're probably tried of going into the city and doing the same touristy things in the same areas. I mean how many times can you go to Times Square. Here are five interesting unique things to do before the summer is over in New York City. That will take you all over the city.

1. Downtown Food, Desert, and Wine Tour

Enjoy a walk through Soho and into Little Italy while enjoying the best food and wine that NYC has to offer. You'll be lead by a licensed tour guide as you sample artisan chocolate truffles and European cheeses. You'll also get you're choice of a local craft brew or glass of wine. Not only will you get to sample these fine foods, you'll also learn how they are made. This tour is available through City Food Tours, to learn more visit their website!

2. Visit the High Line

Located in the heart of the Meatpacking District, the High Line is a lovely elevated park made out of the no longer used West Side Line train tracks. Enjoy a mile and a half walk of beautiful greenery, almost making it like you're not in the hustle and bustle of NYC.

3. Ninja Restaurant

This fun japanese restaurant is designed to look like a feudal ninja village. The entire restaurant is setup like a maze with individual rooms for each table. Entrees included teriyaki salmon and mango salmon rolls. The restaurant also has a vegetarian menu and many different types of sake.

4. Mmuseumm

The Mmuseumm is probably the most interesting museum in New York, but it is also the smallest. The entire museum is located in a freight elevator in Tribeca, the museum is so small that it only allows three people in at a time. One of the wackiest artifacts at the tiny museum was the shoe that was thrown at President Bush during a press conference.

5.Visit Rough Trade

Sadly most record shops have been closed in NYC, but thankfully one of the originals Rough Trade still remains. Inside Rough Trade there are records, books, and art installations. The store is even capable of being a venue of up to 250 people. So come dig through some records.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
