Before this past weekend the only time I had been to New York City was in the summer of 2008. I was with my parents the whole trip, spent most of my time in the m&m store, and wore Kanye circa 2007 shutter shades the whole time. This was a lifetime ago, so now as a 20 year old having just experienced the Big Apple for what feels like the first time I have developed new insights. These are not revolutionary, yet they are new or reaffirmed beliefs to me. Much of this thought comes from hours of conversation with the two good friends whom I was visiting. We met in Thailand, and have remained close since.
"True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions." -Joseph Addison. So here it goes- my thoughts after experiencing NYC. 1. The most fun Times Square will ever be is when you somehow end up there at 3am
This past weekend marked the real start of my summer adventures (away from home). With Cape Cod, Canada, then Europe on deck, I'm excited to see more of the world and learn about more new places, people, and cultures. Comments are closed.
