As much as I love being a "real" adult and being financially independent I still really really missing student life. Obviously... who doesn't? But more than the partying and the football games and invitationals, I really just miss feeling more alive in college (as cheesy as that sounds) -feeling like you're studying for some grand life purpose, living it up because you know college is just a fleeting four years, being able to take off from class and go on mini adventures whenever the mood struck or the weather was nice.
The catch to living in such an amazing city like New York is that you feel like you have all the time in the world to explore it and then regret wasting those hours being lazy or the nights you stayed in. I remember the weekend a year ago during my last semester in college when it struck me just how little time I had left at Cal and in the Bay Area. I freaked out for a bit and made a huge & overambitious bucket list -and actually ended up checking quite a few things off.
I need to make an NY bucket list.

  1. I'm reading this post while I'm in class, and honestly, I at this point I don't think I'm going to miss it. But I know once I graduate and go onto more schooling, I'm going to miss the freedom of no responsibilities.
    A bucket list sounds amazing! I have one for college, and it's great when you get to mark off a thing done.

  2. I've had the same feeling when I last time went to New York! I was just too crazy inside Filene's Basement or Century 21, but would have visit some more vintage shops! An soho area was absolutly my favourite one!
