“What’s your favorite thing about life?” 2/24/21

My favorite thing about life is that there are always opportunities in life that u can take and always great people that can bring u up when u are down. and also pretty things. 

~Abigail McCauley, 15, professional flower 

My favorite thing in life is the small victories you take day by day. An example of this would be going out on a fishing trip and catching a really nice fish that happens to be the catch of the day. There’s nothing like the pride in your face when your picture is being taken while holding your prized catch.

~Dylan, 17, Instagram Influencer

I like how you could go from having a crazy day to watching Gibby take off his shirt on iCarly within an hour. The contrast is important I think people forget how good life can be (Gibby lol)

~Nate, 16, Sumo Wrestler Trainee

My favorite part about life is seeing the people I love be happy. The joy of seeing someone else’s joy is unmatched.

~Rebecca Wayne, 17, Student 

What’s my favorite thing about life? I can’t just choose one because there’s just way too much I love about life. I love my family and my friends which are two of my favorite things in life. Recently, I’ve discovered meeting new people is really cool. Learning about someone else’s life and what they do for fun has started to interest me a lot. To me, I feel also the four seasons are like four different lives. I love the summer life and what comes out of it and what happens during it. Going on vacations with family and some friends excites me a lot too which is like a different life too. Watching Netflix or Hulu teaches me a lot about what life has to offer. An example of that is the show One Tree Hill. OTH in all of episodes show that family and friends are key in life. New Girl shows that the right person but the wrong time is really a thing. In conclusion, life has way too many good things to offer which makes me not be able to choose one thing I love about life.

I wouldn’t even know where to begin, it depends on the stage of life we are talking about. My answer today as an adult and mom is completely different from my 16 yr old self who probably would’ve answered Michael Jackson and my boyfriend! Today I can say warm sand in my toes and seeing life through my daughter’s eyes, seeing what makes her happy and the feeling that she has turned out to be a wonderful person makes my heart as full and happy as the brightest sun in the sky.

~Christine (Mom), 54, Semi-Professional dishwasher and dog walker 

My favorite thing about life is the unexpected. Yeah, some days are boring and not fun, but that’s the beauty of life. Every day something new happens, like you meet new people, do new things, or just do things that you already know you love. I don’t know what will happen in 10 years, but I can look forward to it being different and new.

~Michael DeMarco, 110 lol, Retired from Barnum Bailey Circus  

My favorite thing about life is how it isn’t set up like a video game. This is because in a video game, like Mario cart, if you fall off a cliff or bump into another car you lose coins. In life that doesn’t happen. In life, if you mess up you just learn from your mistakes. Yea sometimes you do lose a coin or too but the game doesn’t just end. It all up to you and the nature of life. So I would say that’s my favorite part of life oh yea and family (duh). 

P.S. if you couldn’t tell I have been playing Mario cart lately. Lol

Cats. Cats are a wonderful thing in life. I love cats. They’re the cutest and most cuddly thing in the world. Most people don’t like cats, but cats are very special. Without cats, I would be even sadder because cats make me happy.

My favorite thing about life is my friends and family. When covid happened, I didn’t realize how much i depended on the people around me. I took going out with my friends for granted when I wasn’t able to see them for about 3 months. I’m beyond grateful for everyone in my life. My family loves and supports me unconditionally. My friends are amazing and I couldn’t ask for anyone else. I can’t wait for life to go “back to normal” so I can spend more time with them.

~Anonymous, 17, dog enthusiast  

I love people so much. Life would be so boring without everyone. I love my family and friends and life would suck without them. I also love distant acquaintances and random nice strangers and the interactions that come with them. I also love humor and I think life would also be really boring without it.

~Emily Boyle, 16, ironically a socially anxious introvert

sitting next to someone you love and not having to talk. just sitting there and taking in each other’s energy. also pasta.

~Ella, 16, sterling silver folding chair

sunlight. it sounds so stupid but i am such a morning/day person that i don’t know how i could function if i didn’t have my curtains open every day. sunlight is proven to improve so many aspects of people’s lives and i have found that to be so true:) another reason i think i am such a fan of sunlight is because i was always afraid of the dark as a kid so that may have carried over to my teenage life. with the recent circumstances of being on electronics more than i would like, i find that exposure to daily sunlight helps reduce my eyes twitching and common headaches. this is the most random response but i hope it makes sense:)

~Katie McEvoy, 16, Sunlight

My favorite thing about life is being able to care about others. Nothing makes me happier than showing someone I love them by being there when they need help, listening to them talk about the things they’re passionate about, or buying them little things they love out of the blue. I think it’s so special that humans are able to bond with others so easily. We bond with things so much that we get attached to animals and even inanimate objects. I think that’s so adorable.

~Emma, 17, a person who never remembers to respond before the blog is posted (oops)

My favorite part about life is making other people happy because that makes me happy. Reading all of these responses showed me that life isn’t about a job or the money you make. It’s about the small things like a smile or a hug. During this pandemic, I’ve noticed that even more. In the past, I took for granted these simple things. Now if I receive a smile from a stranger, my day is made and for the rest of my life, I’ll remember that. There isn’t one specific thing I can name, but it’s a combination of everything. Life isn’t always easy, I think we all know that now.  I miss that feeling of togetherness you would get at a concert or a show or even a high school football game. But, just because we can’t all be together, doesn’t mean that feeling has to go away. We’re all together in a different way, we’re experiencing the same problems and things to appreciate at the same time. I love that in life, there is something new you can experience every day. It might just be driving down a new road, or sitting in a different spot of your classroom. These small experiences lead me to believe that there is something out there calling my name. My future is tomorrow, and the next day, and the next… I can’t wait to see what’s out there. Live every day like it’s your last because you never know when it’s going to end.

“What’s your Favorite Romance Movie?” 2/14/21

The spectacular now is my favorite movie because I love the plot of the movie and I like Sutter!

Alison, 17, Professional Netflix watcher

i used to love call me by your name but because of armie hammer that’s kinda been ruined. i really don’t like movies but i did just watch a really cute romance movie called doukyuusei. the best part that it was only an hour lol and the art style was beautiful

Emily Boyle, 16, movie hater

I’m a sucker for rom-coms not gonna lie. I don’t really have a favorite, but I really like Life As We Know It because it’s an enemies-to-lovers 👀 i’m a sucker for that too lol. It’s also just really heartwarming.

Erin Smith, 16, raging rom com fan

this was a very hard choice bc i had to choose not to pick twilight (bc edwards is lowkey a stalker) but i decided on the last song bc it’s such a good movie

Megan Gillespie, 16, free spotify

I personally love a good romcom, so I would have to go with “you’ve got mail” with Tom Hanks. It has the greatest plotline and keeps you on your toes the entire movie. It’s an adorable film with the perfect ending that makes you so excited. This movie is absolutely realistic which makes it more fun to watch because it’s relatable.

Me, 16, lover of all Tom Hanks movies

“Which fictional character do you relate to the most?” 2/7/21

This is kind of embarrassing, but I think I have to throw it back to my 7th grade Flash watching days and say I relate to Barry Allen the most. He always puts others before himself, to the point that it actually became damaging. He wanted to help everyone and would take other’s problems on as if they were his own. This started to really affect him emotionally and he would beat himself up when he couldn’t help someone. Watching someone on TV go through this allowed me to realize how often I used to do this myself. It helped me to catch myself before letting someone else’s problems take over my life and helped me start helping myself with my own problems instead of downplaying them. This is definitely still something that I’m working on though because oftentimes it is easier to push your problems down and pretend they don’t exist than admit that you’re struggling.

~Emma L, 17, ex-flash watcher 

Garfield. I love lasagna and hate Mondays. He perfectly sums me up.

~Dylan, 17, harmonica enthusiasts 

Dazai Osamu because he’s dramatic and lazy (and other things that I shouldn’t mention)

~Dina Sehnawi, 17,  clown 

The character I would relate to the most is Nick Miller from New Girl. Nick is the kind who likes to have a good time with his loft mates and is up to do anything. Like Nick, I like to have a good time with friends. Also, he is a very kind person and always tries to make people laugh. I try to make people laugh and I consider myself a kind person.

~Alison, 16 (almost 17), Professional algebra 2 student

The Wizard of OZ; 

He’s always working behind the scenes to create magic;

Lights, smoke, mirrors, sound, magic, music and lots of my favorite color; GREEN. 

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

~John, 58, Audio Producer 

Anyone from The Greatest Showman. I don’t know where I fit in.

~Kathy, 48, manager 

Cameron from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off because I’m always nervous lol.

~Katie, 16, shepherd 

I relate to Jay Gatsby from the Great Gatsby a lot I think. He’s very idealistic and oftentimes his expectations don’t meet with reality. He’s also in a constant pursuit of social acceptance which is very relatable for teens and people like me during this time in our lives.

~Teige Beaudry, 17, student 

I relate to Nick Wilde. He’s really funny and cool and hot but also has a sensitive side so he is basically perfect, just like me!

~Emily Boyle,16, Furry 

I relate to Peggy Carter (founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Marvel cinematic universe) because we both think Steve Rogers is one of the sexiest men alive. We also look similar and both use logic over emotions to solve problems.

~Katie McEvoy Rogers, 16, Steve Rogers’ number one fan 

I relate to Mary Margret from Once Upon A Time because she is sweet and caring to others and helps out those around her to help them solve their problems. We’re also both great with kids. But also has a strong side and adventurous side when with others. Also she is married to Prince Charming and I want to Marry someone who makes me feel like a princess!

~Victoria, 17, Professional Team Stefan Blogger

Caroline Forbes… When I started the vampire diaries ( in 5th grade) I found Caroline very annoying, but I realized that that’s because she’s me. Throughout the show Caroline has huge character development and looking back at myself years ago I realize how much of a different person I am, I was annoying.

~Megan, 16, Twilight fan (Taylor Lautner is hot)

Mark Twain because I do my best work anonymously

~Michelle, 65, Nonprofit housing manager

PT Barnum… Because of his creative nature and love for entertaining and making people happy. Plus he was a leader not a follower. A little mysterious and zest for life and love.

~Michael DeMarco, 61, Retired former Cake Decorator, Bakery, Deli and Manager at A & P Supermarket

Casper ..the friendly Ghost … hmm

I am friendly to most but only reveal myself to you, when I feel comfortable around you.

~CASPAR Fuss, 57, Retired NYPD also former business owner of our family business! Sold Flowers, plants and Tree Design

Just like Snow White, I adore animals. I also love how she treats her friends, she is kind and accepting of everyone like I try to be.

~Christine (mom), 54, dog lover 

I would like to say that I’m a combination of Rory Gilmore (Gilmore girls) and Jess Day (New Girl). Rory and Jess both love to read, are very quirky and have fun personalities. Both take initiative and are not followers. Jess is a singer and teacher and those are both things that I would like to do with my life. Jess also embarrasses herself in public on the daily and I DEFINITELY do that. Rory is very witty and we have similar mannerisms. Rory and I also basically have the same clothes as well. Every time I watch the show I say to myself, “I have that shirt!” Rory also has a very close connection with her mom and I can definitely say that I do too. These characters both have the downfall of letting other people step on them because they are too kind. This character trait gave me the initiative to not let people do that to me. When you see a character like you on screen, you tend to relate to them and start to learn from their mistakes. You take what you like from their personalities and add it to yours.

“If you had to describe your favorite color to someone who can’t see, how would you do it?” 1/31/21

My favorite color is like the smell of wet grass when you were younger and you had to go to a soccer game and you were like five and you played goalie so all you did was look for four-leaf clovers and paint in the wet dew.

~Emily Boyle, 16, I peaked when I was five so professional goalie/four-leaf clover hunter

If you’ve ever smelled a lilac bush or lavender, that’s what my favorite color feels like. Everyone experiences color in a different way. When I see color, I feel something. For example, red makes me stressed out, and blue makes me calm. Just because you can’t see the color doesn’t mean you can’t experience the feeling you would get from seeing it. Everyone gets stressed, right? That’s red. My favorite feeling is being calm and happy… Those feelings describe my favorite color… Lavender. Even if you can’t see the color, you can still choose a favorite based on what that color relates to in feelings and emotions. 

~Me, 16, color enthusiast

When you feel something so immensely soft or something that reminds you of your happiest memory, and you get that little jolt of melatonin and it feels like a spark. That is my favorite color. 

~Zachary Sudol, 17, The sheriff round these parts!! (Fastest gunslinger in the west BABYYYY!!)

I would describe the color yellow as a color of happiness, like the feeling of warmth you get when the sun hits your face in the spring, or the last day of school before summer break.

~Katie, 16, (future) voice actor

Pink: The taste of cotton candy in your mouth. The smell of flowers on a wet, Dewy morning. The color the popular girls wear in a high school movie. The scent of soaps and bodywashes. Valentines Day. Happiness and Love!

Victoria D, 17, professional eater

Have you ever heard someone say what color a plum is? If not, what about a pomegranate?

~Alison, 16, professional clutz

My favorite color is green. Green is the smell of dewy grass on a warm morning and the sound of leaves rustling in the summer breeze. It’s the feeling of grass grazing your fingertips and leaves on top of your palms. It’s the smell after it thunderstorms during the summer when the color is amplified due to the rain. Green is beautiful not just in color, but in the feelings that surround it. 

~Erin Smith, 16, bisexual

My favorite color is heat. The color makes you feel warm inside and it correlates well with the season of fall. The color is the flavor of pumpkin pie and the smell of spice candles. 

~Kathleen McEvoy, 16, 🙂

To describe yellow I’d say it is a feeling you get when you are overwhelmed with joy and everything is going perfectly. That warm, energetic, and exciting feeling that you get after a great day is the color yellow. 

~Rebecca, 16, student

“What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you?” 1/22/21

I was in line for pictures in eighth grade and I had a slip with my name grade and homeroom on it. I wasn’t paying attention and it was my turn to go up and the guy who was collecting the slips had his hand out and I shook it… and he said no I need your slip but nice to meet you.

~Nikki Williams, 17

One of my most embarrassing moments happened in front of an entire audience at the Broadway Theatre during one of my early matinee performances as Eva Peron in the original Broadway production of EVITA in the 80’s. Body mics were used in Broadway shows for years sound engineers were still trying to work out the sound kinks hoping not to pick up any of the frequencies from taxies outside. Costume designers also had to be aware of where the body mics were placed on our costumes to achieve the best vocal qualities. That all being said, my clip for my mic was attached to the somewhat “enhanced with padding” under gament (bra) I wore in the show. This particular under garment, hooked together in the front at the center of my chest…if you get the visual, where the mic was attached! I was getting ready to perform “What’s New Buenos Aires” which was the first big vocal/dance number in the show. The opening choreography was a grand, sweeping movement of my arms stretching out with excitement to welcome the thrills of the big city. Well, I did the first move on beat 1. The undergarment snapped open, and the mic and under garment enhancements wound up in my armpits!!! And by beat 2 my arms snapped back across my body, trying to at least get the microphone to a location where you could still hear me singing!!! And, as they say, the show must go on so I continued with the rest of the number until I could get off stage and fix it. I always wondered if the audience realized what had happened or if they just wondered why the dancing was so strange at certain times…Ha! The looks on the faces of my cast members and fellow dancers as they joined me on stage for the number was priceless. We all did our best not to break up on stage. It was a great moment to laugh about when we finally could. I also had a new and adjusted undergarment for the rest of my shows!

~Terri Klausner, I’m grateful for every year on this planet…65, Broadway Performer/Musical Theatre Teacher

Pre-pubescent me decided to be a real romantic and write a love letter to my 5th grade crush (it was real poetic and honestly I think I can make anyone fall in love with me with that note). Anyways, I lost the note and tried looking for it until I inevitably gave up. The next day my social studies teacher asked me to stay after class and I was scared that I had forgotten a homework or something like that. But oh boy I was wrong. He reaches into his desk and pulls out the note and said “I believe this belongs to you”. I don’t think my face has ever been more red in my life.

~Dylan Martini, 17, George W. Bush Impersonator

When I was 12, I wore a Fitbit zip on the strap of my leotard. I was chubby for ballet at the time and my dance teacher asked me in front of the entire class if I was a type two diabetic (because I was chubby, and he thought the Fitbit attached to my leotard would shoot insulin). And this other time: When I was 10, I did a grand battement (high kick) on stage in a jazz number and kicked myself in the head, knocking me unconscious. 

~Ella P, 16, dancer

I was walked in on while going to the bathroom… in a school stall.

~James Ryan, 17, professional

One time I went ice skating and I started singing Thinking Out Loud because it was playing at the rink. The girl next to me kinda like looked at me and reached her arm out so I fully thought that this was an invitation for me to start singing to her. And I did. I started serenading this random girl very loudly for a couple seconds before her friend grabbed her arm and that’s when I realized she was, in fact, not asking me to sing to her, but rather trying to catch up to her friend.

~Emily Boyle, 16, professional uber driver

In first grade there was a bathroom stall that didn’t close correctly and i always went in it bc no one did and i opened the stall and started to sit down when i realized someone was already on the toilet oops. (I literally sat on them) This other time: I saw nate wearing a bracelet and i complimented it and everyone laughed at me bc it was his diabetic band

~Megan Gillespie, 16, Dylan hate club co-president

A classic “the White Room” case – (where everything goes blank). I’m on stage, dressed in black pleather at the top of the second act of the Broadway musical RENT. I was on for the role of Maureen – a role I rarely performed. The confrontation scene with Benny was just starting. I knew I had lines coming up but for the life of me, I couldn’t think of what they were. I told myself not to stress, that it would come to me at the last second. It didn’t. Instead, I approached Benny and rambled on and on about “how mean he was” to kick us out of the building. The band kept vamping the same chords over and over, hoping I’d get back on track. I didn’t. Nothing like getting stuck in the White Room in front of 1,200 people.

~Yassmin Alers, 57, Before Covid, I was a stage performer

At age 9, I won camper of the year at my camp. Back then, I didnt like the spotlight and was embarrassed to get up in front of everyone to accept my trophy. I still don’t like the spotlight lol. I got the trophy and tried to sit back down. Nope, I had to take a picture with my brother and sister. I wanted to get out of there so badly it felt like hours.

~Alison, 16, certified sleeper 

When I was young, I jumped in a public pool jumping on my “friend’s” back, when he turned around… oops, it wasn’t my friend! Then I went under water to escape… 

~Christine Murray, 54, Mom

Ahhhh so I basically went to my english class and then I went to lunch. I sat down and there was nobody else there so for about 10 minutes I was sitting in the cafeteria alone. The lunch monitors were staring at me so I knew something was wrong, but i continued to assure myself that I was right and everyone else was wrong. I soon realized that the time was not that of my normal lunch period, and instead read 9:30. I realized I went straight from first period to lunch so I rushed to photography and was so embarrassed because Mr. Mitchell had me tell the story to the whole class.

~Katie Mcevoy, 16, “student I guess haha”

I simply don’t have the time to elaborate. So for unspecified reasons – every second of my life so far.

~Ryan, 16, being a disappointment

(Ryan is not a disappointment, he just has a very dark sense of humor) 

Last spring my dad (who works at my school) was on a zoom meeting with the superintendent of my school district, and a few other teachers planning something. Without knowing this I walked right up behind him and LIFTED UP MY SHIRT to look at how bad a sunburn I had gotten the day before was in the mirror behind him. He then said “uhh emma you know i’m on a zoom meeting right?” and I was mortified. Definitely happy we were all virtual so I didn’t have to walk past dr. mccahill in the hallway.

~Emma, 17, a person who clearly isn’t aware of her surroundings when she’s going to do something stupid

The summer going into 6th grade, I started going to a new camp. As any kid would be, I was NERVOUS. When I got off the bus, I walked over to my group and the counselor started talking to me, getting to know me… the first day shenanigans, you know? She asked me a bunch of questions but the one that stood out was, “do you have any siblings that go here?” I answered, “maybe”. HOW WOULD SOMEBODY NOT KNOW IF THEY HAD ANY BROTHERS OR SISTERS?! I didn’t realize at the time that my answer was nonsense, but it dawned on me during lunch that I was an idiot. Samantha, welcome to camp where you are now known as the weird kid… 

~Me, 16, only child 

Not to completely embarrass myself and give ANOTHER story but I feel like it’s the time and place to do so… I’m in school, freshman year of high school and I’m all excited about the new cafeteria. I go wait on the lunch line and get the “soup of the day.” I just figured it’d be something I like… I have a HUGE backpack that weighs a ton and I have folders and books in my hand. Well, I have to figure a way to carry this soup with me back to the table. My plan was to pile everything on top of my arms and walk back to the table like a waitress. Well, halfway back to the table my books fall and down goes the soup. Picture Kevin from the office and the famous chili seen. Remember how I said new cafeteria? Well it’s very new, like it just opened that day with new carpets and flooring… The soup’s all over the rug, all over me, and quite frankly all over everyone near me too. That’s not the worst part. The soup is MEATBALL AND NOODLE. Who orders meatball and noodle soup??? NOT ME, I don’t even eat meatballs… Well, the custodians come over and clean up this disaster but in the meantime my huge backpack has flung open and my HOT TEA is all over the floor. The custodians hate me at this point… Again, Samantha, you’re really great at making good first impressions… 

~Me, 16, soup lover

Here’s one of my favorite healthy breakfasts!

I’m always complaining of a stomach ache, so I did some research online to see what foods are good for digestive health.


I came across the magic of pomegranate seeds! It not only aids in digestion but it can also prevent arthritis, keep your blood from clotting, fight heart disease and prostate cancer, and lower blood pressure.


The pomegranate is known as one of the healthiest foods out there.
This breakfast contains healthy super grain bread, peanut butter, berries and more berries!! To make my water a little more fun, I enjoy adding frozen berries. They work as ice cubes, flavor, and as a nice dose of antioxidants for the day!

To make this:
1) toast some whole-grain bread and then spread some peanut butter on it
2) fill up a tall glass with frozen berries and water
3) Pour out some pomegranate seeds onto the plate
4) put some berries of your choice onto the bread

Enjoy! I’d love to know if you tried it…

“What would you do if it was your last day living in New York?” 1/16/21

I would go buy some authentically New York Pizza and go to the Museum of Natural History. After that I would grab some New York bagels (…because god can KILL me now, if I’m leaving there without bagels!) and go and see the Statue of Liberty. Then end the night with the best Broadway show money can buy (whatever that may be at the time).

~Zachary Sudol, 17, I’m a professional 

If I had one night left in nyc I would go clubbing for a little bit and then once it hits 12, I would go to an area next to a bridge and look at how pretty the city is at night…

~Megan Gillespie, 16, Dylan hate club co-president 

See this is hard because I think for me it would depend on why I was leaving. If nothing else about my life was changing, I would probably wanna go to the city and go shopping since it’s so cool that it’s so close to where we live. If I was leaving all my friends who live here behind, I would probably just spend the night spending time with them because I would miss them so much once I was gone.

~Emma Lanks, 17, 6th grade spelling bee loser

i would hang out with all my friends and drive around. i’d go out to eat at a place i haven’t been to before. i’d have emma or emily drive me around to places i haven’t been to before and i’d just have as much fun as possible with all the people i love.

~Erin Smith, 16, Spencer Reid’s wife

If it was my last night living in New York, I would get together with all my friends for some part of the day and tell them how much I’m going to miss them. We would probably go out to breakfast at my restaurant of choice. I would than visit all of my favorite places in my town and county. After I would get playa bowls for lunch and then my family and I would take my dogs on their and our favorite hike. After I would go to the city and go out to dinner at Tony’s Di Napoli because I’ve never been there and want to go. We would then probably drive around the city and put parents would probably point out we’ll known locations and than we would end the night going home and watching a movie- hopefully Die Hard.
But anyways since this question is only asking what I would do on my last night living in NY, you better bet I’m coming back often for day trips!

~Victoria Daly, 17, Professional TV Watcher

If it was my last night living in the state of New York, I would go to the New York State fair in Syracuse.

~Alison Blutig, 16, Future Teacher 

I would go to the city (Manhattan) with some friends and just do whatever I wanted. I’d try to avoid Times Square and really just run around the city. Oh also I’d love to be continuously eating while in the city.

~James Ryan, 17, retail employee/student

I would just wanna hang with all my friends in the city and visit all the cool places there… go clubbing and just live like there is no tomorrow.

~Rebecca Wayne, 16, cool kid

Just walk around the city and then see a show.

~Nate Klayman, 16, professional neurosurgeon

I would want to rent an old (but reliable) car and drive upstate with all of my friends and just blast great songs and sing! I feel like this is always a scene in a movie and it would be so fun to drive and get ice cream or something!

~Katie Mcevoy, 16, student

If it was my last night living in New York I would spend the day shopping and (if it was winter) I would go ice skating at Rockefeller Center. Then at night I would go out to eat somewhere really nice and see a broadway show.

Katie Garbett, 16, professional taste-tester

I’ve lived in New York all my life so this is a tough one… even though I haven’t, I feel like I’ve done it all. Well if it WAS my last night in NY, I would go down to the city and see a Broadway show. Then, I would probably stock up on Zimis bagels,(there’s no bagel shop in the world that’s better) hot pretzels, and pizza. Since it’s not ALL about the food, I would probably then go shopping in the city followed by stargazing by the Hudson. Oh I forgot, I’ve always wanted to go to a jazz club, like the famous Birdland, so that would be the last thing I do in NY. So I guess I really haven’t done it all?

Hello everyone! My name’s Sam and this is my blog!

Each week I will be posting a different question. I ask friends and family to participate! But if you want to as well, you can write in using my “contact” section! All you have to do is give me a short paragraph response, your name, age, and your profession (this can be whatever you want it to be) Thanks for joining me, and can’t wait to get this going.
