11 Of The Best Things To Do In NYC

Last week I had the amazing opportunity to visit one of my friends in New York City. Before this, I had only been to the city once before so I was beyond excited. Even though I was only in the city for a couple of days, we explored basically everything you can see in Manhattan. I had so much fun on my trip that I decided to make a list of everywhere I went!

1. Empire State Building

Can you really visit NYC without going to the Empire State Building? Also, if you are trying to avoid lots of crowds, go during the winter - we didn't have to wait in any lines!

2. Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum

While the wax museum can be a little pricy, my friend and I found a coupon from Groupon that let us go to the wax museum and other attractions for a really good price! This museum is so much fun because you basically get to see your favorite celebrities in person.

3. Central Park

Central Park is really pretty, and it definitely felt good to walk around a place that wasn't a busy street crowded with people.

4. Museum of Natural History

There is so much to see here, and it gives you a perfect excuse to rewatch Night at the Museum!

5. Times Square

Times Square is another spot you can't skip. Seeing all of the lights, cars and people all at once is unbelievable in person.

6. Museum of Modern Art

This museum is filled with fascinating pieces. My favorite part was the modern fashion section that included art pieces that analyzed current trends such as Patagonia sweatshirts and Nike sneakers.

7. Charging Bull on Wall Street

Did you the bull in this sculpture weighs 7,000 pounds?

8. Fashion Institute of Technology

If there are any Project Runway fans out there reading this article, you will understand why FIT and Mood Fabrics are destinations you must go to if visiting NYC!

9. Brooklyn Bridge

My friend and I got to walk onto the bridge and the views were amazing. You could see the entire city from a new angle, and you could see the Statue of Liberty from the middle of the bridge!

10. Bryant Park

The park itself is a really cool place to see, but this is also a prime location to view the Statue of Liberty from land!

11. Rockefeller Center

Did you know that you can go ice skating outside of the Rockefeller Center during the winter?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
