Third Day in New York


Sooooo, today is my 3rd day in New York (smiling from ear to ear)! Today was…eventful! I find it quite interesting that we’ve been traveling to the same two locations in two day’s and we still get lost, lol! It is soooo hilarious to me because we think we know about New York after only being here for all but 3 day’s and we keep testing out new routes! Sigh, on a good note, in the midst of us getting lost, we tripped into Times Square! I assumed Times Square was a way’s away from NBC (Oh yeah, did I mention that my internship is at NBC Studios with thegrio.com)!
            When we tripped onto Times Square, the New York that I always see from my television and computer screen finally came to life! I definitely want to walk down there during the night just to see all the lights and action! Anyhoozers, we met some pretty amazing guests tonight. Kimberly Allers (former essence editor, blogger and author) was teaching us about research amongst many things and it made me hopeful that I will be able to diversify my writing now. Bryan Monroe (you should google him) also spoke…one word…PHENOMENAL.
The fact that he was so calm and personable really made him stand out to me because this man has done sooooo much! He and President Obama are practically best bud’s you ask me! He showed us soooo many pics of them together! What was really touching to me was when he shared his audio with us of the interview he did with Michael Jackson (It was the last interview Jackson did). Amazing!
The night ended with a couple of us meeting some pretty cool guy’s at out dorm. They are from New York and are HILARIOUS!
