The Last Year July 31, 2010
Posted by Katie Oh in : Such As , trackbackAs most of you know, I am completing my final year in school this year. I was so excited to move to New York when I was 17, excited to get away from my small-town roots and really become inundated in the big city.
Things I set out to do that I’ve actually accomplished:
- write
- eat a lot of cupcakes from various places
- intern somewhere awesome [holla, BUST Magazine!]
- cram into a tiny basement apartment surrounded by a bunch of poets/writers for a ~reading
- participate in a reading
- have a super-glamorous moment [accomplished when, one day, I was running pickups and looking fabulous]
Things I set out to do that I haven’t accomplished:
- see everything in the city
So, given that I have one year [or, well, to be more accurate, about eight and a half months] left, I want to make sure I see everything that I can.
Things I want to do/see that I haven’t done/seen yet:
- Coney Island [I don't know how I've managed to not see it, actually]
- The Cloisters
- The Natural History Museum
- Take a picture with the giant stone lions outside the NYPL
- Have a picnic in Central Park
- Go to a designer boutique knowing full well that I can’t buy anything, but act like I can anyway
I know this can’t even be the half of it. I’m sure I’ll add to this list as the year goes along, but my goal as of now is to have a ~fun activity to partake in at least every weekend.
So, I ask you, [my few] readers of this blog, what do you think I should do that I haven’t done yet?

Well, of course I’m going to say that you HAVE to take your picture in front of the lions at NYPL, but of course, being the librarian in your life… you have to wait until I can be in the picture with you!
of course! it’s not too far from radio city, we’ll have to stop by for the photo op!
