When we first exited the building, I took the opportunity to just stand and take in everything. Typically, I would be staring down into my phone looking where my next class is and planning on how I can beat the rush. Even though I grew up in NYC, I’ve never experienced the buzz of the city that others come from around the world to see. I took a large breath and although it wasn’t cleanest air there is, it was rather pleasant with the smell of a nearby pizzeria. I looked up and saw the enormous skyscrapers above that remind us just how small we really are. I would say the short stroll down Lexington Ave for me was one of curiosity and awe.

Walk down Lexington
I stepped out of the Lawrence and Eris Field building and for the first time I took the time to pay attention to all the interesting people, places and things throughout the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. My hunger brought my attention towards a restaurant sign that read “hot pasta special combo!” which only made me hungrier. I hadn’t eaten lunch yet and the thought of nice bowl of spaghetti made my mouth water. To distract myself I tried to focus on the people walking down Lexington. I spotted a girl taking a Snapchat, which brought a grin to my face. The silly face the girl made that was only meant for a certain person is now unintentionally instilled in my mind and she doesn’t even know.
