How can you not fall in love?

In the Spirited City of Dreams, there are people all around you. Wherever you walk, there are big signs and attractions, entertainment & activities for all ages. How could you not fall in love with the grand city that is New York City? In addition to the popularity it name carries; this exquisite city has the life and potential to become an even more loved city as the years continue. No matter what season it is, and no matter who you come with; whether alone or with family & friends there is never a lack of things to do in NYC. New York is considered home for me. I have so much history & knowledge about the city you might even call me a New York junkie. I can show you how to get from one corner to the next street, and even tell you which times the subway leaves. From Chinatown all the way across to Mt. Vernon/Portchester I know just how to get places. I live in Virginia right now and being away from my first home has gotten a little depressing. I haven't seen some of my closest friends in years and it kills me on the inside because getting to see them again would make things for me so much better. Hopefully, after I graduate from Norfolk State University in 2019 I will be financially stable enough to move back up and be reunited with my friends and my city.

Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to the best times to be in New York City. Some people like spring & summer in New York, others prefer fall & winter. Personally, the absolute best time to be in New York is the end of summer. That's early fall, going into winter. I call that time a pre-transition. It is the best time because the season is changing & for me I can dress the best. Fall/winter apparel is my definite "know-how". From extra Starbucks coffee runs in the mornings, cute leg-warmers from Forever 21, those to-die-for knit sweaters from Urban Outfitters to the positive spirit & attitude the season puts people in. It becomes more positive because everyone knows that Christmas is right around the corner, so how can you not be even more blessed & cheerful? I also have love for New York City in the summertime as well.

During the summertime I always can go to Central Park to kick back and relax. Whenever I'm there I can get so much accomplished, painting, vibing and hanging out with friends to reading a favorite book of mine, there's nothing you can do wrong. Depending on how you think about New York and how you take it all in it can make a huge impact on some of the things you might decide to do while in New York. No matter how long you've lived in New York or even if you're a tourist, there will always be something for you to do.

New York's energy is something no other city has or can compare to and that is what makes it so grand. In the city known for positive vibes and dreams coming true, how could you not love New York City?

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
