‘The X Factor’ Taping at Nassau Coliseum

Yesterday I went out to Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum with my friend Kristell to watch The X Factor taping. I’ve never been part of a live audience before, so this was pretty exciting for me. However, my excitement disappeared when the clock struck 1pm and they weren’t letting us in. The ticket told us to…

Movie Review: ‘Now You See Me’

Yesterday I went to the movies with my mom to watch the film Now You See Me. My mother is obsessed with winning money, so when she saw the trailer for the film she went crazy. The movie was directed by Louis Leterrier. Now you See Me is considered a caper film, which is a…

Gantry Plaza State Park and East River Ferry

Yesterday I went to visit Gantry Plaza State Park with my friend Kristell. During senior year of high school back in May 2012, a trip to this very park was planned for Senior Skip Day. But we were such good students that we didn’t go. That and my rough draft in creative writing was being…

High Line NYC

Yesterday I went to the High Line in NYC with a few of my girlfriends from high school! The High Line, an urban linear elevated park located along 10th Avenue, is quite the interesting sight. It used to be a street level railway in the 1840s. Too many accidents occurred between the trains and the…
