Greetings from Manhattan!

Hi Everyone!

Fashion Ave
So I guess it's official... I'm a Manhattanite!  As I've mentioned in previous blogs, my senior year will be spent in New York City, while I'll be attending the Fashion Institute of Technology as a visiting student.  It's strange that I won't be heading back to the 'Hurst for my final year, but so far New York has been treating me very well.

View from my bedroom
Here are some pictures of my on-campus suite... myself and three other girls from Mercyhurst are all living together on the 11th floor.  We try to take the 11 flights of stairs as much as possible, but it's already getting pretty old!  Stairs or not, the view from our bedroom is priceless.  In addition to the bedrooms, our suite also has a bathroom and a kitchenette... definitely on the smaller side, but functional for   sure!

My Roommates and I
Yesterday, my roommates and I did some sight-seeing and visited Times Square, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, and 5th Avenue.  During our day of exploring, we saw Wendy Williams (hopefully just one of many celebrity spottings!), the original Tiffany and Co from Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Boat House from 27 Dresses, and Bryant Park, the location where Fashion Week used to be held.  We also ate lunch on a rock in Central Park... probably one of my favorite memories thus far b/c it felt "so New York." =)

Stay tuned for more of my New York adventures... until then!
