Why New York

A few reasons why New York is the best city in the world.

Dec 13, 2016

As my first semester comes to an end I felt it was a good time to reflect why I love New York and in a way back up my decision to move to such a vibrant city.

1. You never feel alone

This was a very important factor since I am an international student. New York is the type of city that either makes or breaks you. In New York city there is a lot of people. Millions of people doing their own thing in every block. Everyone somehow has a purpose in New York. The energy of the city makes you feel as if you already belong here.

2. Forward motion

People are always moving. The city is always moving forward. Everyone is carried by this momentum to do better, faster, and stronger. The city pushes you out of your comfort zone and brings out the best of you when you least expect it.

3. Everyone knows someone

This is one of the most exciting things about New York. If you are planning to start a career here this is crucial. The networking opportunities in New York are endless. Building a business in New York is possible if you are ready to get out of your comfort zone and network in the most unexpected places. In the subway you meet people form different backgrounds that might know someone that is interested in your idea. You never know. In New York the possibilities are endless.

4. There is always something to do.

Whether it is a picnic in Central Park or a themed party, in New York there is ALWAYS something to do.

5. The city has a vibrant atmosphere.

In New York you feel as if nothing is impossible because here everything is possible. New York is the perfect place to start over and reinvent yourself.

New York is one of the most energetic and vibrant cities in the world. If you have not yet visited, I suggest you do so as soon as you get the chance because you will not regret it.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer.
