It's 2014!
I've been procrastinating and dealing with going back to school, work, adjusting my sleeping schedule, and just life in general to post anything since my last holiday post for December. Even the process of coming back from the East Coast during the snowstorm was hectic chaos. But I'm thankful I was able to make it back in time for the start of winter quarter.
I will try to update more on a weekly to two week basis instead of by month. But anyways, these are just a few of the many pictures that I took and have for my New York album/archive.

I tried to choose pictures that basically summarized my whole 10 day vacation, including samples of the food eating (the food was fantastic as I thought), wandering, museum touring, and just overall adventuring in the great concrete jungle. I definitely felt the artsy and creative vibe once I had set foot in the SoHo district of Manhattan and when I visited the Met and MoMA. I loved the feeling of everyone being fashionable/well dressed, like a universal code that they all abide by. I was a fashionable hipster in NY. :)
During my stay, it snowed a total of two days, but I'm glad I got to experience the magical flurry of NY. The city looked amazing blanketed as a winter wonderland.
Overall, it was an awesome and wonderful experience.
I can't wait to go back and visit again.
Until then,
