Strolling Through Washington Square

I've realized how much I've been a Brooklyn boy this school year, so I've decided to make my way into Manhattan, or more specifically, the NYU Campus known as Washington Square. When I went there, I felt invigorated, motivated, and...happy. The feeling was really different when you're in an environment full of busy people like me - people who are motivated in life. From all those streets, I stared into those stores in awe as people chatted away in the small bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. In fact, one student even asked me to help him sign a petition to open a new sushi shop within the NYU campus. It was fun! I also bought food from chinatown prior to my adventure:

Now of course, I didn't eat ALL of it (I don' pig out THAT much), but only the sushi, one strawberry daifuku and a wee bit of the seaweed salad. For a $13 meal, this was quite worth it because a whole set like this would generally cost at least $18 without tax and tips. And so, I ate some of it at the Washington Square park. It was beautiful! The amount of sunlight was just perfect and the wind was just perfect. Unfortunately, it was ~30 degrees today (I'm surprised that it's still March), so the wind was cold, but it would be perfect if the breeze was a bit warmer on my hands and cheeks. Also, I snapped a photo of the famous Arch of NYU - the gateway to success. Man, was I thrilled! Seeing it from the pamphlets and brochures of NYU is one thing but walking underneath it and seeing it in person is a whole new experience. I feel more like a tourist than a native New Yorker, haha.
