Stuff to Do After Class

This past Saturday was week number eight at FIT and I cannot believe how fast these Saturdays are coming. I never want it to end! I remember how nervous I was going to my first class – my family and friends kept on telling me to explore Manhattan while I was there by myself and I didn’t really know what to do exactly. Shopping and walking around aimlessly are my number one talents and that’s precisely what I did by myself the first time I decided to take a later train home. The walk up to Times Square wasn’t that long at all. All of my favorite stores were there, so it was a home run for me! If you like Express and American Eagle I suggest heading to Times Square because the stores are huge and have almost everything you’d see at the online stores.

But then – last Saturday – the most amazing thing happened to me. Chipotle. Now, I know what you’re thinking… What does this have to do with FIT? WELL EVERYTHING! It’s life. Chipotle = life. AND IT’S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE COLLEGE OHMYGOD. I went with my friend Sarah and then we went back to FIT to enjoy my first Chipotle burrito. Yes, yes. I know what you’re thinking. How have you never had Chipotle? I’m sorry my fellow Chipotle fanatics, I’m very sorry. The closest one is twenty minutes away and I never was part of the Chipotle craze!

So, what do you know? Signing up for a precollege class brings learning and opportunity – for your future and taste buds!

But seriously, if you’re looking for something to do, somewhere to eat, go down 8th Ave. There’s everything imaginable. Me and Sarah went for paraffin mani pedis at QQ Nail Spa on 8th and 23rd. There was a Starbucks right next door and countless food places across the street. Also, if you are into photography or want to take photos while you’re in the city, it’s the place to be! It’s busy, there’s lots of action, traffic, trees, and it’s just wonderful.

If you are like me and are stubborn to leave your comfort zone at first but eventually will break the barrier – break it sooner than later! I’ve only got three classes left and three more opportunities to hang out with my friends after class to explore the city. It goes fast, but then again, so does everything you enjoy!

(Last weekend’s plan to go to the Whitney Museum was canceled – hopefully we are going this weekend. Updates to follow!)
Until next week,
Joey Criscione
