So im very sorry this post has been so delayed, but i thought everyone who would like to know what an awesome time i had in NYC. Visiting Hoftra made me so happy, because now not only do i love it in description, but i love it from actually seeing it. The campus was beautiful and i loved the dorms too!
So after a stressful day of finals and traveling to the city and dinner at Maxie's, i woke up early to try and get on the today show for my birthday. Though we did not get on the early part of the show, Al Roker did say hi to me. And when we came back from a delicious breakfast at the Rockefeller cafe (pancakes of course) where Meredith Viera was also enjoying her early morning meal, we made it on the Kathy-Lee and Hoda show. I got to wave my "Today is my birthday" sign behind Donny Deutsch's head :) After that we went to the Tim Burton exhibit. It was so interesting and demented at the same time. I loved it! Then mom and I took a trip to one of the most amazing stores i have ever been to: H and M. Oh my gosh what an amazing place to spend birthday money in! Anyway, later on we went to my favorite restaurant, Sarabeth, for a delicious dinner of salmon, spinach, and homemade bread (i could have eaten it all myself!). We took a carriage ride through Central Park (what a wonderful way to relax after dinner with mom and dad). After we went to Starbucks and the barista gave me a free green tea latte for my birthday! And ten we went to Magnolia Bakery for a birthday cupcake. I have never tasted such a delicious cupcake in all of my life. So after an exhausting and amazing birthday that could not have been any better, I completely crashed in my clothes. But I didn't care because it was completely worth it.
So after a very gratifying birthday, mom, dad, and I traveled to long island for a tour of Hofstra and to meet up with mommy's co-workers. One reason I love Hoftstra is that it is only a short train ride away from te city (perfect for potential internships). So after taking the train ride and checking in, we ate breakfast at the student union. Then we went to a presentation and tour. Like I said, i loved it so much and am completely sold (except for the small fee of $40,000.....haha no biggie). So after that, we got to talk to Andrea, the admissions rep. that I have been in close contact with. I actually met her when she came to m school for college fair when I helped her find the bathrooms. Then i saw her again at the Broward college fair. So we had a good time talking to her after. Then we took a trip to the bookstore where i bought an official Hofstra sweatshirt with my birthday money from Grammie (thank you Grammie!) I have been wearing it non-stop. So after all of that and a trip to the local mall (which has both Urban Outfitters and Anthro), me and the family met up with mom's co-workers for a delicious dinner at Grand Luxe. Then we traveled home on the train after a long and successful day :)
Sunday we didn't do as much, but we headed down to SOHO for breakfast, walking around the NYU buildings, and an unsuccessful scavenger hunt for vintage shops. It was a little rainy so we weren't out for too long, but I got to make another trip to H and M which made me happy. Later on we ate dinner at the hotel and headed out to see the show Rock of Ages. Probably one of the coolest and most un-play-like play i have ever been to. I felt like I was at and 80's rock concert.....so cool. Except for the old farts that were getting a little excited. but other than that it was pretty good.
Unfortunately, every trip must end, and Monday was that day for my wonderful NYC birthday trip. We had breakfast at the hotel and mommy and I stopped at Anthro so I could buy a purse I fell in love with using some of my birthday money. After that we headed out to the airport to return to the unfortunate reality of school and such. But I was glad I got to spend time with the family and see Hofstra with my own eyes (and was very satisfied).
Sorry again this post has been so delayed (and is a little informal and has grammatical errors) but school has been crazy and I've been very occuppied with things. Thank you to everyone who remembered my birthday and for all my cards and gifts. I truly appreciate them :) I'm going to put up an album of the pics so you can check them out. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all!
