Why You Should Visit The Cooper Hewitt Museum
Lourdes Martinez

There is no doubt that NYC is one of the most cultural and artistic cities of the world. Sometimes you can feel overwhelmed by the offer of museums and art galleries. In my journey through NYC art scene I decided to visit the Cooper Hewitt Museum and I totally recommend it to anyone living or visiting the big apple.

The Cooper Hewitt is a museum focused in design and that is something that makes the experience unique. From the moment you get in the museum you can actually get the feeling that you are going into a place full of freedom, exploration and creativity.

These are the reasons why you should visit the Cooper Hewitt Museum:

1. It has an amazing location in front of Central Park in the Upper East. The museum's mansion has amazing wood architecture and big spaces that have been filled with innovative design pieces.

2. You can create your own gallery of the pieces you like the most. Once you enter the museum you receive an interactive pen. Within all the functions you can scan all the pieces you like the most. Then, when you get home you can get into a specific web page, insert a personal code and see all the pieces you scanned in the gallery.

3. You can create your own designs. Using the interactive pen you can browse different materials and forms in order to create different designs in certain screens. This is a chair I designed just for fun in my visit to the museum and which I saved in my gallery.

4. They have donation-based admissions on Saturday's from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. So you can have this amazing experience and save money. What more can you ask for?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
