The City that Never Sleeps

The City that Never Sleeps

Spring Break is best friends to college kids. Many people go to tropical islands and whatnot. Well on my spring break I went to NYC for a day to see a Broadway show. But I am going to tell you about the day I had in the city.

Starting the day off my waking up at 5:15 am to catch the 8:33 am MTA train out of Poughkeepsie, NY. We caught the train and headed into NYC. We arrived in Grand Central Terminal at 10:15. Once my mom and I arrived we stopped at a Japanese bookstore called Kinokuniya and they sell all kinds of cool little trinkets and animae books written in Japanese.

After the bookstore, we stopped and got an iced coffee at a local coffee shop. When then went and sat in Bryant Park because it was 60 degrees outside sunny and warm. Bryant Park is so fun to hang out. It is a good distance away from the heart of Manhattan and the busyness of the city.

The next stop on our agenda was Rockefeller Center because I have never gone and so we walked from Bryant Park to Rockefeller Center. We also saw NBC studios where the Today's Show gets filmed and saw where The Late Show starring Jimmy Fallon is filmed. We also saw Radio City Music Hall (fun fact the 2017 Tony Awards are occurring at Radio City Music Hall).









After seeing Rockefeller Center we went to lunch at a restaurant called Danji which is a Korean Fusion restaurant right in the heart of the theater district. My mom and I both got Bip Bim Bop a Korean dish and some mandu which was delicious.

After lunch, we walked around Times Square we looked at other shows that are on Broadway or are soon to be in previews. After doing that we then headed over to the Brooks Atkinson Theater to see Waitress the Musical.

When the show was over we decided to stop at another coffee shop called Bibble and Sip which is across the street from The Gershwin Theater (Wicked is currently there). We got tea and frappuccino and some sweets before caching the MTA train back home.


I had a fun time in the City and when I graduate from College I can't wait to hopefully move to NYC. But I had the most fun hanging out with my mom and going to see Waitress.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
