New York is a writer's dream and a photographer's playground.

Why I Miss New York City
Ashley Chiappetta

If you've ever been to the Big Apple, you'll probably understand me when I express how much I miss New York City. If you're not one for the hustle and bustle of city life, then you might think I'm absolutely crazy. But ever since last summer, when I had the incredible opportunity to travel to New York, I have been craving the chance to get back.

I love the city. I love the diversity. I love the way there is a Starbucks on what seems to be every other block. I love the rush and flurry of activity. I love the cityscapes and the way the city glistens at night. I love the endless stretch of city lights that is enchanting and slightly overwhelming. I love the way you feel small in comparison to everything around you, and yet somehow, being in a place where everything is larger than life, the feeling balances itself out.

I love how New York was and is a dream. Wanderlust consumes me and this exotic places compel. In NYC, I love how there is something new to explore down every corner and adventures to be found on every street. It's merely impossible to explore its magnificence in one trip, imagine living there and having a lifetime to explore its wonder.

New York is a writer's dream and a photographer's playground. The city is made up of so many different lives, there are countless amounts of people and just as many stories to tell. The city is merely home to a photo journalist's wonder.

I love the little things about New York like the way the city glistens as the rain covers its streets. I also love the big things about New York like how it's home to so many different publications, news stations, TV shows, Broadway theaters and more. It's beautiful up close and it's stunning from afar. Until I make my way back there, I will continue to live vicariously through other people's travels and through the photos and memories I captured.

New York, you were truly a wondrous delight. You made my first time exploring the East Coast unforgettable. You showed me so much in so little time, but most importantly -- in the world through which I travel, how I am endlessly creating myself.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
