Over Columbus Day weekend, I visited New York City, and it is by far my favorite place to be! It is always so energetic and lively, and you're never going to be bored. Walking between the abnormally tall and architectural buildings really gives you the feel of how it is to live in the city. I toured the city, and saw so many amazing things. Below are five that I highly recommend visiting if you're ever in NY!

1. Central Park

Central Park is the closest to country you're going to get in NYC. Being in the trees, on brick pathways and stone bridges, near fountains makes you feel like you're not even New York. It's beautiful!

2. St. Patrick's Cathedral

Entering St. Patrick's Cathedral took my breath away. The glass windows are so intricately stained and the organ in the back is beautiful. Definitely an amazing place to go, especially if you're Catholic!

3. Times Square

If you are looking for a lot of energy, entertainment, and people, Times Square is the place to be! You are surrounded in bright billboards for things like M&M and Coca-Cola.

4. Rockefeller Center

"Let's go watch the ice-skaters!", my mom said on October 10th. Rockefeller Center has an all-year round skating rink! Along with the very detailed architecture and Christmas lights around the trees, Rockefeller is beautiful.

5. Lenwich Sandwhiches

There are 19 Lenhich Sandwhiches locations in New York City. I had a poppy seed bagel with vegetable cream cheese, and I can tell you that I've never tasted a bagel that fresh before!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
