“New York City is my dream. Like, being some hot shot in a
firm. That would be awesome. It’s the best city ever. I went
when I was 12, and then I went again when I was 16. Both
times I went during the summer, but I really wanna go during
Christmas. I haven’t been in a couple of years, but it’s literally
where dreams come true. That sounds so cliche, but I love
it. I was talking to my mom, she’s from Long Island, and I told
her I want to go during Christmas. I said, “I really don’t want
to go on vacation during the summer this year if we can just
go to New York during Christmas.” I think it’s one of the best
places ever. Every time you go it’s different. I’ve been twice
and I haven’t seen everything. Obviously you can see all the
touristy stuff, but there’s so many different types of people
there. Honestly, I like just literally walking around. I like to
watch people in Central Park. You get to see people on the go
and they look so motivated. They all look so professional. I’ve
said this to people before and it sounds so ridiculous, but the
second you step out of the airport, it’s just a totally different
vibe.”
