So I am currently sitting in my friend's bedroom on Long Island! It's so strange after six weeks to see houses and grass and the road!! I forgot what it looked like! The silence is sometimes unbearable, I went outside and I could actually hear myself think! As long as I've dreamed of living in Manhattan, I never really understood what I would be giving up. You never really take the time to appreciate what you have before it's gone. I can think back on Palm Desert and how beautiful the city is... palm trees everywhere you turn, mountains on all sides, and everything the city could do to attract more and more people... "paradise" they call it. And I never took the time to appreciate all of it. So now here I am, wishing I could go back to that moment before I left when I looked up and down my street and actually take the time to really appreciate it. The houses, the trees, the mountains, the sunrise and sunset, mom making breakfast in the morning, sister screaming because she didn't get her way...the things I never paid much attention to are now the things I crave the most.
college is amazing, I absolutely love New York City and everything about it! It's exactly as I dreamed it up and then some! I love my friends, I love my roommates, and I love everything (well almost everything) about college life! (I just can't wait to get home)
