New York, I Love You

NYC has so much and I can't wait to see it all.

Dear NYC

I've loved you for many years and for many different reasons. From Times Square to Broadway, you have something for everyone.

I first got a glimpse of you every New Year's Eve when I watched the Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year special. That was one of the first glimpses I had of all the life that happens in the center of Times Square. The idea of being there to see the ball drop has always amazed me and one day I'll get to see it in person.

I can't forget all the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades that I have religiously watched every year. These gave New York a completely different look from the New Years Eve special. I finally got to see glimpses of Broadway shows for the first time and I always dreamed of seeing one.

Fast forward a few years and I finally get to go see this amazing city in person for the first time. Let me tell ya I fell even more in love with this city. From the beautiful portion of Central Park that we saw to the amazing Broadway show "Aladdin," we tried to fit as much as we could in a three-day span as we could.

I wish we had gotten more time to explore the city and see what it has to offer. Those three days we spent there weren't enough. There are so many things that I see including the Met Steps and the 9/11 Memorial.

With that being said, you definitely haven't seen the last of me.

XOXO

Katie

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
