Manhattan as my play ground.<\/p>\n
Okay, so if you\u2019ve been reading my blogs, by now you probably get that when I\u2019m not at FIT, I\u2019m constantly doing art projects, working, sewing, and trying to keep up with my high school classes. There\u2019s a lot of overwhelming aspects to senior year, but my afternoons in downtown Manhattan aren\u2019t one of them.\u00a0 Even if I\u2019m going solo, I always love to wander around and relax.<\/p>\n
As far as hangouts go, it\u2019s hard to carry all my supplies around the city, so I tend to stay close. My all-time favorite place to eat is Rosa\u2019s Pizza across the street, but there are so many good places. I usually grab whoever I can from my classes to go with me to Starbucks, too. It sounds strange, but I go to Dunkin\u2019 for coffee before class, and Starbucks on our break for tea. I have yet to check out the school\u2019s cafeteria, but it\u2019s on my to-do list for this semester.<\/p>\n
As for fun, I could spend hours in the art supply\/book store across the street. However, being an art student, this applies to all art stores and fabric stores. I also love the FIT museum. I\u2019ve seen several exhibits throughout the years, and although eclectic and different from one another, they are always inspiring. I\u2019m almost positive the current Daphne Guinness exhibit is my favorite so far.<\/p>\n
When I take two classes at FIT which have an hour in between, I love to walk around. I always go to Buffalo Exchange or the Goodwill, which i\u2019ve found amazing deals at. Besides, I love shopping and having to hunt around for things is a good way to keep from spending too much. I found a Guess denim vest for $4 last Spring, a Zara sweater for $7, and a Diane Von Furstenburg shirt for $22! Since FIT, I\u2019ve become an expert thrifter.<\/p>\n
