A New Yorker In DC: A Weekend Away

A New Yorker In DC: A Weekend Away
Cina Nguyen

So last week I finally had my long awaited and much needed vacation from life, Denny's and New York. I was so excited to get out of the state for a bit and have a change of scenery as well as see my Grandma, Aunt, and DC babies.

While I spent a good portion of my time off relaxing, I also spent a good portion of it rebooting my body and getting my health in order. I ran, did sit-ups, as well as drink my trusty 310 nutrition shakes and Flat Tummy Tea to keep me on track, in addition to just eating better and paying attention to what I ate.

Now you may ask, if I'm on vacation why would I worry about eating right and exercising? I should be drinking champagne every night with strawberries on my tits sucking on a buttered lobster tail! And I did, but when else would I really have the time to focus on my body and health? However, there was another reason, that upcoming Sunday I would be having a photoshoot with iconic DC Native Photographer Cina! A truly talented photographer who knew my aesthetic very well! I was so excited when she said she had time to shoot me before her shoot with Cherry Glazer, like what a legend! Honestly, truly. So, naturally for the shoot I had to look and feel my best.

The Photoshoot went Amazing! She was focused and very easy to work with. I watched in awe as she effortlessly directed me and created art. I had a feeling the photos would be amazing but nothing compared to when I actually saw them. She had captured my essence perfectly! Even though I didn't have my signature green locks or some other funky color, I still felt and looked myself. It was amazing! I couldn't believe someone could capture my essence so perfectly. Cina's work with me had affirmed what I already knew to be true, and that is that she's got talent!

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.
