Finding the Best Ice Cream in NYC: New York Ice Cream Trucks

We all pass them on a daily basis, the New York Ice Cream trucks that linger on every other street corner. So how do these street cones stand up to the fancy, gourmet ice cream of the city? Read on to find out.

The New York Ice Cream trucks are pretty simple, you can get vanilla, chocolate or swirl soft-serve and a couple choices of toppings. While it's not super exciting, it is a reliable treat that is super cheap and always around.

I always get a swirl cone with sprinkles and as you can see, you really get your money's worth. This cone cost $4 and it's massive.

Because this is just a basic cone with nothing to blow it out of the water, I'm just gonna cut right to the chase:

So how would I rate this Ice Cream:

Experience: 1/5 There is no real "experience" while getting this ice cream, you hand over your $4 and you get your ice cream and then move on your way. For that, it only gets a 1 out of 5.

Price: 5/5 For $4 you just can't beat that price. The only downside is that you need to have cash, but if you're in New York and you don't have at least $4 cash on you, you have bigger problems.

Flavor: 3/5 This is a pretty average cone, but if you're in the need for a little sugar, this is perfect. It's super quick and brings back memories of ice cream cones on hot summer days when I was a child.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
