ikr! I interned for a summer in NYC in college and it was shockingly hard on me. There were things I liked about the city, but it just isn't my kind of place. When I was applying for schools this year, my first filter was to nix any program in NY. No offense, New Yorkers! I used to want a career in publishing, so I guess I'm kind of glad I switched gears.
I would love to, but it's sure going to be hard if my only acceptance so far remains my only acceptance, since it's in the Midwest. If only Riverside would call me.
CONGRATS on Riverside, by the way!!!
