the end.

Today is my last day in New York. I thought I would make a pro/con list about the city for my last post. Let me preface this by saying Seattle is the best city in the world, hands down, but New York definitely stole a little piece of my heart and I want to live here at some point in my life.

Let's start with the pros:
-The amazing public transportation system. It is so easy to get anywhere you want, and there is zero need for a car.
-The energy. The vibe here is unlike anything else I have experienced in any other city. It simply cannot be put into words.
-Everything happens here. New York is the center for publication, fashion, food, performance art, finance, and a whole myriad of other things.
-The time zone. Everything happens on the East Coast first.
-The food. Some of the best restaurants I have ever been to.
-The culture. Some of the best museums and musicals in the world. There is always something to do or entertain you.
-The parks.
-The hipsters.
-The fantastic street style.
-Everything is just cooler in New York.

The cons:
-Extreme weather. New York has both humid summers and severe, snowy winters. I come from the land of no seasons.
-Everything is more expensive.
-Water from AC units drips on the sidewalk and sometimes you if you're not paying attention. It's nasty.

I'm headed back to Seattle for a few days before I return to LA for rush school and real school. I'm not going to pretend like I am going to keep this blog up to date because I know I have a very busy couple of weeks ahead of me. I will let you know if something stirs me enough to write about it. I am for sure going to pick up regular blogging again when I study abroad in London this spring. I appreciate everyone who found my life interesting enough to pay attention to my ramblings, and I hope everyone has a great end to their summers. Later, New York!
