Assignment #3 - Taylor Galavotti - The Big Apple

New York City has always been a fever dream for me. A place that I could imagine and look at studio apartments in but never visit or, god forbid, live. Basically unattainable until I was sitting on a hefty sum of money and well into my 70s.

In April of my freshman year, I went to New York with my AP Art History class. Even though, I had one half of a friend going into that trip, I still had the absolute time of my life. I can still vividly remember walking out of the subway station in Brooklyn and feeling like I had finally made it home. 

The pace of the city and the roar of the subway all immediately felt normal to me, like I had lived there all my life. Coming back to Lexington after that trip, I felt like I was moving in slow motion and everywhere I went was just a bit too quiet. That trip proved what I already had a good feeling about. I need to be in New York City if I am going to be the best version of myself.
