New York is a perpetually expensive place to live, or even visit. Despite this, however, there's so much to do if you're on a budget. Here are some of my favorite things to do in the Big Apple as a broke college student.

1.  Grab a Slice of Dollar Pizza

It'll be worth every penny. (Seriously though, it's really good)

2. Have a picnic in Central Park

Pro tip: bring dollar pizza to the park

3. Visit the Elevated Acre

A little oasis away from the business with gardens above the city streets.

4. Ride to the top of the Empire State Building

Buddy knows best.

8. Walk the Highline

Walk above the city and take in the views. There's also food markets, art, and live music along the way.

9. Watch the sunset at the Hudson River Park- Pier 40

I got lost one day and ended up seeing one of the most magical sunsets over the city. It's my new favorite spot.

10. Go to the Whitney Museum

The top floor has a viewing area of the city.

11. Get some work done at the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe

If it's in New York, it's going to be the best.

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?
