In A Nutshell

This trip has been so amazing and really opened up my eyes to what the east coast has to offer. Coming from Hawaii, everyone wants to attend schools on the west coast because of the "name brand schools" and also because it's closer to home. At least I felt like that before coming here. New York and the east coast in general has so many job opportunities offered to students right out of college. The price of living in NYC is pretty damn high but people can afford it because of how well they do. The vibe is so different than Hawaii or any place i've ever been to, but I could definitely see myself living here one day. People cross the street on red lights, not phased at all if a taxi cab is speeding by. Musicians play on the street and skinny high heeled women flaunt their tight body con dresses even in the 22 degree weather. In New York, you can be just about anyone you want to be, and no one is there to judge you. You're a nobody in the biggest city in the world. But thats whats so great about it. You're free to be you. It's interesting to just sit down in a Starbucks and people watch. I love that everyone who passes by has their own story, a life that I have no idea about. I tend to forget that my life isn't the only life in the world. There are so many different people in New York, in the world in fact, and I think that's whats awesome about seeing and meeting new people. People who live completely different lives from you. To hear and understand their story.

My parents and I are headed to LA right now to see my brother Matt, i'll be posting my New York video very soon! It's been a great trip. I'm so grateful.
