7 Things To Do Before You Leave New York City

Whether you are here at school or on vacation, if your stay is coming to a close there are some destinations and activities you should do before your time in the big city ends.

1. See another show. Broadway shows are one of the best attractions here in New York City and there is always something on Broadway or off Broadway for you to see. Its an experience you can't get anywhere else so do yourself a favor and take advantage of it while you can.

2. Go to Central Park again. Go to the Great Lawn and lounge when the weather is nice. That park is vast and I'm positive you haven't seen it all. Relax, take in that legendary park one more time.

3. Go to a museum. MoMA, MoMI, The Met, The Natural History Museum, they are all worth your time and money. There is nothing like them. The original Starry Night painting by Van Gogh is hanging in MoMA and you should go see it (Its free on Fridays).

4. Try some new food. New York City is a melting pot of cuisines and there is a restaurant somewhere that has something you have never eaten and will probably never find anywhere else. Try Shawarma, I don't know what it is but you should try it.

5. Travel to a part of the city that you know nothing about. Go all the way downtown, see some parts of Brooklyn that you haven't seen, mosey to the upper west side. This city is huge and there is so many cool spots that you have to look for to find. Go find them.

6. Go people watching. Find a quiet spot and watch the tourists and the natives walk amongst each other. Listen to snippets of phone calls, make up stories about why that couple is fighting, try to guess a persons life story. Trust me its one of the easiest ways to waste time in the city.

7. Buy one of those spray paint arts. They are all over Time Square and Rockefeller Center and they are just as cool as they seem on the internet.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
