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?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
