17 Random Things I've Done In My Three Years In New York

This is a very, very strange city. Here's some things I've done it.

1. I lip sang for my life at Drag Bingo.

This was a freshman year Welcome Week event, and needless to say I won.

2. I pushed a wheelchair around all through The Lower East Side.

This was a prop for an extremely important theater project, so I had to just suck it up and make sure I didn't somehow lose the wheelchair while attempting to board the six train.

3. I met my celebrity Crush!

It was Miles Teller, if you couldn't tell.

4. I attended many a rooftop parties.

Some were fun, some were lame but regardless, the view was phenomenal.

5. I lived on Fifth Avenue. 

It was in a dorm, but still pretty cool to say!

6. I worked on Fifth Avenue!

Just your average Anthropologie customer Associate. Nothing special, but such a great experience.

7. I was licked by Zachary Quinto's dog.

Oh yeah, Zach was there too but the puppy was the most important part!

8. I attended classes in The Google Building.

My primary acting studio is located inside the building, and let me tell you Google has some NICE bathrooms.

9. I almost got thrown out of school. 

There was this whole diabolical with a prop gun I was using for a scene. Long story short, I no longer perform scenes that require prop guns.

10. I was hugged by Shailene Woodley. 

She is a lovely human being and gives soft hugs!

11. I cried, multiple times, in front of my entire class. 

It's a Tisch thing. I don't wanna talk about it.

12. I spent an hour video taping garbage.  

It was for a journalism project documenting NYU's Zero Waste Week. But still.

13. I took a class by the woman who voiced characters on my favorite childhood cartoon. 

Giphy

It was The Winx Club, in case ya'll were wondering.

14. I attended my first movie premiere on accident. 

The film was "How To Be Single". And yes, Rebel and Dakota made an appearance.

15. I tattooed myself multiple times. 

Sorry Mom.

16. I moved into my first apartment. 

I cried like a BABY when my parents left and to be honest I'm still getting use to not being in the dorms anymore.

17. I made some life-long friends. 

New York is weird because there's so much time that you spend alone, but when you meet people you click with you're about to forget how lonely you were ten minutes ago and focus on the memories you're about to make.

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.
