Ways to Celebrate Christmas in NYC Without Going to Rockefeller Center

There is not much that is more magical than NYC during Christmastime. While Rockefeller Center is a must, there are plenty of other places in NYC to celebrate the holiday season.

This is one of my FAVORITES. The Bryant Park Winter Village has a tree, an ice skating rink, and tons of little shops that have everything from food to every time of Christmas gift you could image. They have dozens of pop-up shops of your favorite brands as well as many local artisans.

Dyker Heights in Brooklyn has the most incredible decorated houses EVER. Taking a trip down to this part of Brooklyn is totally worth it. The houses are decorated in ways you would never even think of decorating your own house. Parking is a pain, so plan to carpool!


Union Square Holiday Market

Union Square is great at all times during the year, but especially during the winter. While during the summer they often have farmer's markets in the park, there is a Christmas market in the winter. The stands have all kinds of goodies you can try and buy!

Grand Central Terminal Holiday Fair

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.
