The stories of all our little adventures we take!
On Thursday, I went to my very first baseball game ever! It was the New York Mets vs. the San Diego Padres at CitiField in Queens, New York. Now, I'm not a huge fan of baseball, but I was excited for the experience (and the free ticket)! I currently work at a summer camp so … Continue reading The Mets Game at CitiField
Picture yourself having the most classic American outing of the summer with friends and family. It's a hot afternoon as the sun sets, you and some friends or family members have a day off from work, and you decide to spend some time together. You'd most likely be transported to an amusement park or fair, … Continue reading Dreamland Amusements Fair
This year's LGBTQIA+ Pride Parade was held on the last day of pride month, June 30th.

These are some of the places I've gone to in NYC within the last year. I realized that I am most at peace when I am in the city or just chilling by the water. I didn't even realize a lot of my adventures end up being somewhere by the water. I think all of … Continue reading Places of Peace
Last week, I had my much-needed Spring Break! I decided to use the break to relax and simply have fun. I was tired of constantly being in "school-mode" or "work-mode." Anyway, the city recently opened up a new attraction in Hudson Yards called "The Vessel," so my friends and I decided to check it out. … Continue reading The Vessel
