1. See a Broadway show

I have attended three Broadway shows in New York. They are truly spectacular, so do not miss the opportunity to see a show. I recommend seeing Annie, The Phantom of the Opera, or Beauty and the Beast.

2. Visit Ground Zero

Although I have never been to Ground Zero, I heard it a must do in New York.

3. See the Rockettes perform

New York is known for their Rockettes, and every year they put on a Christmas Spectacular. It is a show you do not want to miss!

4. Go ice skating at Rockefeller Center Plaza

I have been ice skating once before at Rockefeller Center Plaza. Even though ice skating is not my best sport, it is a fun activity to do!

5. Visit the Christmas tree at Rockerfeller Center

Visiting the Christmas tree is classic! if you are visiting New York during Christmas time!

6. Eat at Ellen's Stardust Diner

I have never been to Ellen's Stardust Diner, but I have heard that it is a fun restaurant to go eat. The waiters and waitresses that work there are trying to make it on Broadway, so wheel you are eating a meal, you have the chance to listen to them sing and dance!

7. Visit The Plaza Hotel

The Plaza is an iconic hotel in New York. I have never gotten to stay there, but I have stopped inside to visit and look around, and it is truly beautiful.

8. Visit FAO Schwarz toy store

If you think Toys R Us is a big toy store, think again. This famous toy store has multiple stories in which children and adults can spend hours in discovering all sorts of fancy toys.

9. Go to the Top of the Rock

The Top of the Rock is an activity that you must do! You have the chance to see all of New York from the top of a skyscraper. Although I am not a fan of heights, it is pretty awesome.

10. Shop in Times Square

Who doesn't love shopping? Shopping in Times Square is a must do, and beats any shopping mall I have been to!

Although there are a million things to do in New York, I hope you will try a few of my favorite's the next time you visit!

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
