8 Reasons You Should Go To NYC At Least Once
Claire Fox

In This Article:

NYC is my favorite city and I could easily come up with one hundred reasons everyone should at least visit once, but I kept it to eight.

1. The diversity

The diversity in NYC is unlike any other place in the world. If you are an American, this is the place to experience other cultures without leaving the United States.

2. Broadway

Best day of my life seeing "Wicked" for the first time ever and on Broadway.

Claire Fox

You cannot see Broadway acting anywhere else. It is an unbelievable experience, seeing any play or musical on Broadway.

3. The subway

Fun times on the Subway (peep the lady in the background)

Claire Fox

The subway is such an unique experience for anyone who is not a New Yorker, and I think we all should experience that form of transportation because it is pretty wild.

4. There's so much to see just walking down the street.

I had to stop to take a picture because this is a SCHOOL.

Claire Fox

Walking down the street is like going to a museum. That's reason enough to go.

5. The museums

The museums are awesome and some are even free.

6. The food

What dreams are made of

Claire Fox

Food from all different cuisines at every corner.

7. Ellen's Stardust Diner

The waitstaff perform Broadway numbers all while waiting tables. It's amazing.

8. The ceilings of Grand Central Station

I was enthralled.

Claire Fox

Yes, I think the ceilings of Grand Central Station are a reason to go to New York City. To say I love it is an understatement.

NYC is truly a magical place and I want everyone to have the opportunity to experience its wonder. Start planning your trip now!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
