The Time Has Come









When I decided to move to New York City, I never put a timeframe on how long I would stay here. I knew I could be here for a year, five years, or maybe even forever. I really had no idea! While I love pretty much everything about NYC, I have decided that it's time to head back down south. I have made wonderful friends while living here and have had some unforgettable experiences that you can only have in New York! Even though it will be a little difficult to leave such a magical city, I am looking forward to moving back to Birmingham! I am excited about being in the same city as my family and friends and getting back in to the slower, more peaceful lifestyle of southern culture. I am so glad that I was able to have this opportunity. I know it is something that I will never be able forget and that it is something I will always cherish! I know I am going to have to make a yearly trip to NYC to prevent any withdraws! Sadly enough, some of the things I am going to miss the most about New York include food!
       Shake Shack
       Trader Joe's
       Mr. Softee
       Molly's Cupcakes (The BEST in the city  World!)
       The food trucks! Most Importantly, Gorilla Cheese!

Of course I will miss the shopping and getting student rush tickets to Broadway shows, but I know I will have more opportunity to do that one day!

Peace Out NYC! Miss you already!

See Ya Sunday, Birmingham!

Winter Hibernation

Wow! Long time, no blog post. I must say, I was hibernating. Even though New York had the second warmest winter on record this year, It was still unbearable at some points. Now that spring has officially sprung, I plan on getting back into the blogging thing! Over the last four months, I have been back to Alabama twice, saw some Broadway shows, ate several, an embarrassing amount of cupcakes and have fallen in love with running in Central Park. In January, some of my best friends from home come and visit! It was SO great to see them and show them around the city that I love so much! Last month, my mom made her first trip to New York to come see me! I showed her the city through the eyes of a local. Instead of doing touristy things like seeing the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, we walked through the villages, ran through the park, and even spent a day in Brooklyn. Instead of writing every detail of the last four months of my life here in NYC, I'll update you with pictures!
