<p>Things I do for fun:</p>
<ol>
<li>be in the marching band (no, seriously).</li>
<li>find a new (cheap) place to eat around NYC every week.</li>
<li>visit friends and family members around the city.</li>
<li>nycgo.com and newyork.timeout.com</li>
<li>cook with friends (can you tell I like food?).</li>
<li>my social network holds a party every Saturday night, so…</li>
<li>occasional bar-hopping, but drinking is expensive.</li>
<li>take long walks through Central Park (on nice days).</li>
<li>bartend (and get paid).</li>
</ol>
<p>I’m never not doing anything, and I do NOT spend all of my time working. And my idea of “fun” represents only a fraction of what people here actually do. Part of going to school in New York is this weird obligation to go out and explore the city for things you like to do. Fun is not something that will always come to you – Barnard dorms are a (thankfully) quiet respite from the rest of the city.</p>
