New York City

What I love about New York:
Never having to get off of this tiny island if I want to--there is everything I could ever want here.
FOOOOOOOD!!! There are cutesy and delish ethnic restaurants and pastry/coffee shops in every corner...
Feeling like I can do anything.
Walking through the city listening to my iPod, and feeling like I am in a movie.
Living amongst celebrities (Julia Stiles is my neighbor).
Wearing whatever the hell I want.
Being around so many talented people.
Being around so many different cultures--I learn something new about the world every day!
Taking a walk whenever I feel stressed and feeling so much better afterwards.
Friendly strangers.
Being around fashionable people.
The opportunities.
Walking everywhere and loosing weight.
Strolling through the city and nonchalantly seeing world-famous landmarks.
The fast-paced life and not wasting time.
The feeling of being part of something greater than myself.
Getting out of class and going shopping on 5th Avenue right afterwards.
Shopping in SoHo.
Big events always happen in New York.
Central Park.
Walking across Brooklyn bridge at night.
Such rich history.
Street performers and musicians everywhere.

What I love about Oklahoma:
Fields that stretch on forever.
Open skies.
Stargazing at night.
My best friend.
Going camping with my family and roasting marshmallows and sweet potatoes.
My woods.
Sitting on my roof.
My queen sized, memory foam, 4-poster bed.
My glass shower and jacuzzi tub.
My family and DOGGIES!!!!!!!
Korean food made by my mommy.
The serenity.
Doing absolutely nothing.
Easy life.

I absolutely adore New York and I am having the time of my life, but I miss home. I suppose I have lived in Oklahoma for far too long to leave it cold turkey. I would NEVER EVER EVER live there again, but Thanksgiving cannot come soon enough, when I will visit! This is just so ironic because I absolutely hated the place, but now that I am out, I am appreciating it a bit more...
