Santiago’s Monologue
Moving from Colombia to New York City brought many drastic changes to my life. My first year living in the big city brought many surprises, almost giving me a sense that it was just a really long vacation. The massive number of people, the buildings, the bright lights, and the fact that everyone seems to be in a rush all the time was very surreal. Â Slowly, what was once very unusual about this lifestyle became very ordinary and natural. I too found myself starting to have an irrational hatred of slow walking tourists that seem to have a habit of stopping in the middle of the street to take photos and waste a few valuable seconds off my day. Unknowingly, I gladly became a New Yorker. Im happy to live in the best city in the world, and I love New York.
Santiago’s Music Playlist.
Music is a huge part of my life. Rather than using it to keep me busy, it is a representation of what mood I am in. I often forget how important music is to my every day. Whether its listening to Eminem and Linkin Park to give me a rush of adrenaline while working out or before a game or listening to soft rock to put me in a good mood, music represents me as a person. Hopefully this playlist can tell you a little more of me.
