New York City has this amazing personality. An undercurrent of music that sets the mood for daily living. From the grime of the subway to the sheer glory of a show on Broadway, New York offers a spectrum of things to appreciate for all tastes. One city with a similar spectrum could arguably be San Marcos, Texas. From the grime on the floor of Mayloo's to the sheer glory of families relaxing alongside a crystalline river, San Marcos is diversified and cozy. What are some other comparisons between the two, you ask?

1. Both have a square.

The reputation of both squares proceeds actually visiting either site for both locations. I mean, come on.

2. Rooftop Bars.

Now, there is a height difference between the two, but we could 'stretch' this point.

3. Ubers Everywhere.

What better way to stay a fast-paced woman than to ride in an Uber.

4. Crazy Drivers.

The difference is, in one city you are the one driving, and in the other, you are at the mercy of all of the drivers.

5. Coffee Shops.

While all of the coffee shops in San Marcos could probably fit within three blocks of New York City, the diversity is appreciated.

6. Trains.

Both sets annoying. One set resides above ground, and another below.

7. Excellent Hiking.

The hiking in New York, while less traditionally foliaged, is still to be expected if you want to get ANYWHERE.

8. Theatre.

The theatre department in both cities is award-winning. Yay Texas State!

9. Snow.

For one spectacular day in 2017, snow actually fell in San Marcos. So I can officially add this to the list.

10. Great Locations.

In San Marcos, you have got a home town feel with a means to travel to other cities in Texas quite easily. New York City is located in a centralized location as well. People either pass through or stay forever. Which will you choose?

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
