*Safe* Sex in the City.

So a few weeks ago it was Safe Sex Awareness Week at my college. There were girls walking around handing out condoms in super cute floral packages that encourage you to use them shamelessly. I thought this topic would be great, not just for city-bound girls/guys, but anyone reading my blog.

Navigating around the city.


So one thing I never had to worry about back home was transportation or how to get to places because stupid me never got her driver’s license *facepalm*. So I never actually learned how to read directions and get to places. When I got to the city I would only explore and go places if it was with someone else – I was TERRIFIED of going anywhere by myself!

I’m baaaaack

me when I first got to nycMe this semester
(1st picture was me when I first got to NYC, the 2nd is me this semester)

Wow, almost a year since I last wrote a post and I'm here I am now, leaving NYC in about 3 weeks! It’s such a shame I abandoned this blog when I was so close to actually moving into the city! I’ve decided to come back, even if I’m leaving again soon (but coming back in August!). I definitely have a lot of stories to tell, photos to share and tips to shed!

So super brief update:

1: I broke up with my boyfriend from back home. Being together while being in different landmasses just wasn’t gonna work.
1a: I have a new boyfriend here! We’ve known each other for almost 6 months and have been dating for 2 and everything is going wonderfully!

2: My hair is now short and red! (ok, it’s more of an auburn color, but it’s a crazy change!)

3: I took 9 classes last semester and 10 this semester and it went pretty well! (Got 5 B’s and 4 A’s last semester, haven’t finished this semester yet.)

4: NYC’s winter this year was so mild! It only snowed twice so my transition from a tropical island to here was not too bad.

Ok, so that update probably didn’t cover much but it’s a good base seeing as I’m basically starting this blog again! I’m so excited to be back, I really miss blogging and don’t care if nobody reads my posts. I know this blog will be helpful to someone out there dreaming of coming here.

 
 

P.S. Spring in NYC is so pretty! (Kinda chilly though!)
