In the musical Annie, one of the songs is NYC. It talks about how even though the city is "big, loud, and tough" you just can't get enough. I'm about to turn 21 years old and am trying to plan an epic trip to New York. It's not just about taking it all in like the characters in Annie do or celebrating a birthday, but I need this trip.
Places can sometimes get certain labels attached to them. A court is very legal, a church is very religious, home is comforting, etc. My connection with NYC right now is stress. The last time I went it was so much to take in that I couldn't emotionally handle it. I finally felt like I was in the place where I belonged. When I came home, I had a serious mental regression. I've always known that with my career I need to live in NYC, so I need to reintroduce myself to it. While I'm there, I will have a blast and will see the sights and be like the guys in On The Town singing among the city New York New York, its a helluva town.
I want to have a new idea for NYC. I want to truly love New York, so during Spring Break I want to enjoy every single block of it. I'll see the shows and the sights. I'll eat and shop. It doesn't matter if I go with friends, family, or by myself, when I get back I'll have a sense of assurance that NYC can one day be my home. Then, I can finish my time here with NYC having the label of hope and a bright future. So when I graduate, I can move there and say "if I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere, it's up to you New York, New York!!"
