NYU: A New Frontier

As I've mentioned to many people in the past 4 months, I will be going to NYU next year to study the most overrated and overlooked profession in the world: acting.

I am incredibly excited about this, mainly since I've been looking forward to go to college since freshman year of high school. I mean, c'mon, hanging out every night with friends, taking classes you actually want to take, independence, what is there not to like?

And at NYU, I get to do all of this in New York. Centered between Union Square and Greenwich Village, it's where history meets culture in my eyes. After visiting the campus, I see that it really mixes old-school campuses and the city really well. For instance, if you want to just relax, you can lay down in Washington Square Park. If you want to be entertained, there are a shitload of music clubs in the Village. Just the sheer amount of stuff there is overwhelming and I realized that after visiting the campus.

Plus the fact that there are great people that go there. There's a reason why they only select 1 in 5 people that apply there. There are people who are highly acclaimed in what they do who teach there. It's the ultimate version of college, in my opinion.

So, as I get ready for graduation from high school, I'm not afraid of next year. In fact, I'm just too excited. I want to just register for my classes now and just get ready for orientation. But, I'm stuck in limbo for now.
