"These streets will make you feel brand new...Big lights will inspire you, lets hear it for New York..."
New
friends is something I also found in New York. Everyone was extremely welcoming
and friendly, especially to Texans haha I was able to snag a few discounts just
for saying "y'all" and "howdy"...I'll take it :) All of the
other students at the events were wonderful as well. I met a lot of students
from FIT and FIDM, hopefully we can keep in touch. It's interesting to see what
other design and fashion schools are up to. I made a lot of contacts that gave
me some great advice and I am so thankful to have met so many amazing people.

As far as
today, my roommate Lauren and I struggled with our baggage..but we managed to
squeeze it all in. I found some great finds in NYC and I'll definitely have to
post those as soon as I get back home. My roommate had lunch plans so I thought
it would be fun to have a nice lunch at The Palace Hotel. I was sooo excited
for this (being a HUGE Gossip Girl fan) and it was absolutely fabulous haha. I
ate at the Madison room and bar ( where GG filmed a lot) and I felt like a
princess.
At first I'm sure they thought it was strange
I was eating alone, but I did make some friends at The Palace. The waiter was a
charming boy from Brooklyn studying at a university and was interning at the
hotel. The other waiter addressed me as "Miss Galindo" as he brought
my lunch (I like). Everyone asked where I was from and I was happy to find that
Texas A&M brings smiles and lots of questions about our pride and joy
Johnny Football...yes THE Johnny Football is quite famous in the Times Square
area.
MoMa- Museum of Modern Art |
Grand Central Station |
My parents came...and we explored just about every steakhouse in town! The Capitol takes the award for BEST steak Mmm |
Anyway
this was a nice time to reflect on my trip and have kind of a self fulfilling
moment...pretending in a way that this was my life. Lavish hotels, delicious
food, and strolling up and down the streets of SOHO is definitely a life I
could get used to...I ate my meal, looked around the hotel and made my way back
to the Four Points.
And here
I am. On the plane heading back to Texas...howdy y'all.
