Blossoms and Beauty: Here's to New York

Hi Everyone!

I say this overtime I actually write a post lately but, I'm back! I have been M.I.A. the last month and that is because I have been finishing up my junior year at college. I believe I've mentioned it before, I'm an apparel merchandising major with minors in marketing and management. I didn't realize at the beginning of this school year just how stressful this year would be. Thankfully, as it's finals week, everything has started settling down.

Here is a list of things recently I have been stressing about:

(I know some of them are silly :)

1. Summer Internship

2. Finding a place to live next year

3. The landlord we are renting from next year

4. Consumer Behavior Presentation

5. Retail Management Paper

6. My messy room

It is 100% percent true, for me, when they say, you know your life is a mess when your room is a mess. That is how I feel cluttered and frazzled. When I am done writing this I plan on cleaning my room and packing so that in the next few weeks I am able to move.

Most of the things have been crossed off my stress list also, which is a major plus.

By far one of the most stressful things that I have faced this semester is that as a junior I need to have an internship for this summer. I can't even begin to tell you how many places I have applied to but I am so, so, /so/ excited to announce that for eight weeks this summer I will be living in New York City and working at Fiftytwo Showroom. This is literally my dream come true! I freak out and get excited overtime that I say it.

I am so eager to start my internship at Fiftytwo Showroom, working in a showroom gives me the chance to work with and meet so many people. I think this is the perfect place to get my food in the door and prepare for what I want to do with my life after college next year.

I would be lying, though, if I said I wasn't nervous going to New York by myself. My mother will be flying with me out there though so at least I'm not getting on a plane and trying to figure everything out myself on the first day I am there.I will be living in the NYU suite rooms, which is a plus because I will have roommates and not just be alone by myself all of the time.

This is the time I am really going to find out if New York is where I want to be in the future. I have told myself that I cannot waste time there and that on weekend, and everyday, get out of bed early so that I can explore the city I fell in love with last year when I visited. One week was far too short to see everything that I wanted to and personally I think eight weeks won't be enough but it's a start.

Here's a list of a few things I plan to do while I'm there:

1. Explore Central Park (Can you believe I didn't the last time I went!?)

2. Visit the Eleanor at the Plaza gift shop

3. Go to a Yankees game

4. See The Lion King or Le Mis

5. Walk the highline

6. Consume and unnecessary amount of cupcakes and macaroons

7. Take a bus tour of NYC (Ultimate tourist mode right there!)

8. Take time and wander The Met

9. Go to Grand Central Station and people watch

10. Find an amazing breakfast café

11. Go to a nightclub/bar now that I am finally 21!

12. Go to Shake Shack

13. Visit Coney Island

14. Go to the Belfry

15. Go to the Bronx Zoo

16. Go to Dylan's Candy Bar

As you can see my list is completely random and kind of weird. Let me know in the comments what would be on your list of things to do in New York City. Also leave me a comment if their are places or things you think I need to add to my list because I would love to know!

Like I have said I am so excited and I cannot wait to be their and blog about it all so that I can share it with all of you!

Thank you so much for reading and taking a look!
