Am I cool now?

I have an option between the new Samsung Galaxy S III and the much awaited iPhone 5. My friends told me that android phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S III have amazing apps for free as opposed to iPhone where you have to pay to get better apps. Samsung has a new cool feature that I really like, but I'm still leaning towards the iPhone 5. This decision depicts that I want to fit in since most people would choose and have an iPhone. My choice also communicates that I prioritize seeming "cool and trendy" rather than saving money.

Simple is stylish

When I visited my aunt in NYC over the summer, she took me out to dinner. We sat behind a big glass window looking out the streets of lower Manhattan. She told me that one of her favorite things to do is to observe the people walking by. It was actually very entertaining to see the variations of other people’s style. The one style that stood out to me the most is the "simple but chic" style. Even the simplest plain black t shirt and jeans can look really put together when accessorized appropriately.

What place do you call home?

What place do you call home?

The word "home" is very subjective. A house is not necessarily a home.  For me, a home is where I feel a sense of belongingness. New York City is where I consider my home. It is not where I am from, but it is where I feel content and where I find excitement in almost every corner. New York City is very diverse, lively, and unique. I love it! New York City offers a lot of new opportunities that I believe would shape me as a person. I've been to NYC a couple of times. And every visit, I am more excited than I was the last time I was there. Everyday is a new adventure. The city life, the hustle and bustle, the skyscraper, the metro, the museums, the thousands of restaurants and shopping all scream out to me that there are unending possibilities   that the city offers. I know one day that I am going to live here, and I will not regret it.
