Here are some of the big moments that happened in the meantime:
1. Joined a fraternity.
2. Celebrated my birthday, Christmas, and New Years with my best friend and family in Taiwan.
3. Went to Philly for the first time and had a philly cheese steak while I was there.
4. Saw Kygo in concert.
5. Saw Chance the Rapper perform.
6. Saw Lana in concert.
7. Started my first official internship, two actually, IN NYC!
8. Went to the Sesame Street set for the first time and met Elmo and Cookie Monster in person.
9. Went to my first Mermaid Parade in Coney Island.
10. Met someone that I really really like hehe.
There you go! Some updates in my life and so far, life is good! I am living in New York City for the summer for two internships that I am doing, and it is everything I've dreamed of. I have been dreaming about living in the big apple since I was little, and now I am finally here. It's kind of depressing actually living in the city because at the end of the night, you are alone in your apartment eating shitty Chinese takeout watching some romantic chick flick (literally sipping wine watching The Good Guy atm). But you know what, I feel accomplished, alive, and a grownup. Waking up every morning and going to work makes me feel like I am doing something with my life and that I am working toward my goals. There are so many things I want to do with my life and so many places I want to go. Hopefully I can document all of that with this blog and keep asking myself the question: "When was the last time you did something for the first time?" I think it is extremely important to ask questions like this constantly because you can only further yourself by trying new things.
