A week in my life living in new york : NYU, friends, work and routine

Welcome back, welcome to what I feel like is the first official normal vlog of me living in New York City. The last two vlogs were me moving and then an apartment tour and now that I'm finally all settled in, and by settled in I mean not just the apartments like all put together, I mean I established a routine, I feel really good with the dynamic of classes but also working on the phone garden. If you're new here I have my own brand for phone accessories called The Phone Garden, so balancing all of it but still like I said having you know a routine where I go to class, I do work, I do homework, my morning, evening routines, finally getting some workouts in which always just you know make me feel good, cooking, so I feel settled in, right? I feel organized, I feel like I my ---- together in a way, like I feel like my life is is has structure to it. So with that being said I'm really excited for this week's vlog to finally just share what my life looks like in New York City. Today is Wednesday so I wanted the vlog to sort of carry on throughout the weekend and if you guys have been here you know that sometimes I'll do just week vlogs of you know Monday through Friday and then sometimes I'll do weekend vlogs. I thought it would be fun to do a weekend vlog but also show a little bit of my week and sort of work and what that looks like and something that I've been finding that I do is that I for like school work or just work in general, I prefer to cram my work during the week because during the week anyways my friends work and then my other friends are also at NYU so during the week it's not like we're gonna do plans. Maybe you can grab a coffee here and there, maybe you can grab a lunch but there's not like you know we're not gonna hang out for like five six hours. We have classes, the other ones like I said have full-time jobs, things like that so I'm really using my weeks to get ahead with work to just do as much work as I possibly can so that then on the weekends I'm as free as possible because there's so much to do in New York from so many restaurants that I want to try. I have a list of restaurants that I want to try. There's just so many bars and places that you can go to, different parks, different areas, coffee shops like there's so much to do in New York that I don't want to be busy on the weekend if that makes sense with like school work or just work in general. I want to be as free as possible so that's sort of what I've been doing. To catch you guys up really really quickly, I had a morning class today which I finished and then I jumped into two meetings and I just got back home. I took my dog Caleb out on a walk and I'm about to make lunch. It's 4 p.m so definitely not lunchtime but my class ends around lunchtime and then I have those two meetings so I'm gonna make lunch really quickly and I'm gonna get started on an assignment that I have that's due next Wednesday. It's due in a week from today but I already drafted it so I'm hoping that I can finish it today or if not have it at least you know 90% done. I have a few more things that I wanted to do for the phone garden. I'm trying to build an AI agent so I've been working on that and what else am I gonna do today? Go to the gym and hopefully I can go to bed early today because I didn't really sleep at all like too much last night. I'm really really tired so I'm hoping that I can go to bed early today and kind of chill but I wanted to introduce this week's vlog and I'll share more about just my life in New York and everything that I'm doing and sort of new things that are new to my life in New York but I just wanted to say hi. So I'm starving and I'm gonna make lunch or I'll probably grab something that I already meal prepped. I'm huge on meal prepping so that when things like these happen, I'm tired, I'm lazy, whatever it may be, I'm in a rush, I don't have too much time, I can just grab something and it's already a home-cooked meal that I already meal prepped. So I think I'm gonna do that right now and then maybe like properly cook later tonight. I just got back from the gym you guys. I thought about not going because I'm really really tired however I think I'm going to be working on a group project tomorrow night so I maybe won't be able to go tomorrow so I figured I would just go and I was kind of lazy. I just walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I am heating up some rice now and then I'm going to eat that with some mayak eggs. I've been obsessed with mayak eggs. If you don't know what those are look them up on TikTok. They're like, they went viral, they were all over my For You page and then I did them in Miami to try them. Absolutely loved them and now I make them a lot actually. So I'm gonna eat my dinner, my little rice with my eggs, my mayak eggs. While I watch my show, I just started watching Desperate Housewives. Again, it was just all over my For You page and it seemed really fun so I started watching Desperate Housewives and I'll watch that while I eat, take my dog out on a walk while I'm like sweaty and still in workout clothes before coming back upstairs to shower, do skincare, get ready for bed and hopefully go to bed early. It's nine right now so I'm hoping bedtime by 10 30 maybe but I always say that and then it ends up being midnight. I have a 45 minute break right now. I just got back home, it is the next day and my day looked pretty much the same as it did yesterday. I had a class and then I had, oh my god, something just popped in my microwave. I had a class and then right after class I did three meetings back to back and I just got back home. It's 4 p.m right now. I have, is it 4 p.m right now? It's close to, yeah, it's 3 48. So I have a meeting at 4 30 from 4 30 to 5 and then from 5 to 6 7. Nope, joke intended. I have a group project that I need to work on. So I have about 30 minutes right now to have lunch really really quickly, take a five second breather because I've been running around all day doing work and then keep going with like work, school projects, things like that. My Thursdays usually feel like Fridays because I don't have Friday classes so I see my friends, I go out, I don't have to wake up early the next day, things like that. But this week is one of those weeks where I just have a lot of things going on. I have meetings all morning tomorrow so I need to wake up early. I'm not going to see my friends tonight. I'm going to be working until late tonight. It's just one of those days. My Thursday is really just a normal Thursday but I'm going to try and make it fun and exciting with an everything shower, face mask, probably take myself out to dinner later. But right now I'm going to breathe for 30 minutes and then hop on the rest of my meetings. Good morning vlog. Today is Friday. I just woke up. I sort of threw some workout clothes on because I have a bunch of meetings back to back, literally starting at 11 a.m. and then my last meeting ends at 4 p.m. and I have like a one hour break in between all of those which will probably just be my lunch time. But I'm excited. I love using my Fridays. So I don't have Friday classes. I feel like that's very common for college. I didn't have that in my undergrad either. Friday classes are just... I mean some schools have Friday classes but I don't have Friday classes. I've never had Friday classes and it's the best because I always see Friday as a day to be really really productive. So whether that's, you know, doing your own thing on the side or if you have a hobby, getting into your hobby. If you, you know, are starting a brand or you're working on something also just to do homework and projects, get ahead, things like that. So I always just really use my Fridays for that. For like grinding and working and that's exactly what I'm going to be doing today until, like I said, 4 p.m. and then I'm going to meet up. I'm a little like stuffy today. And then I'm going to meet up with my friend who also finishes a meeting around 4 and we'll probably just do homework together or I don't know. I don't know what we're going to do in the afternoon together but we said like if we still have work to do we'll just do homework together, order some food, or if we're done with everything and we want to like go to dinner. I don't know. But for now just lots of work. Last night I took myself to an omakase tasting dinner. I did a little solo date. I love solo dates. I don't know why some people don't like solo dates but I think they're so fun. It's really just a way to hang out with yourself and like consciously hang out with yourself, you know? Not the things that you typically have to do. It's going out of your way to do something outside of your routine but with yourself. And my choice of hangout yesterday was omakase and then I watched my show for a little bit, went to bed. Like last week I took myself to Broadway to watch Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by myself. It was amazing. Amazing. I'm a huge, huge Harry Potter sci-fi person. So that's also sort of one of my goals while I'm living in New York to do one solo date a week because I do hang out with my friends a lot. I'm always with my friends during the weekend so I think it's also, you know, healthy and good to give yourself one My coffee is getting started. I'm going to wake myself up as much as I can before I start a bunch of meetings so I don't look too crazy in the meetings. We're gonna make you Mexican tonight. We're gonna put you... Good morning vlog or should I say good afternoon? What time is it? It's gonna be 5 p.m. Oh my god I need to hurry up. Today is Saturday. I'm just putting on my show while I have some lunch and then work on my presentation. This is what I was telling you guys. I became really, really good at multitasking and I actually mean doing three things at the same time, right? Like I, for example, I have like a little software that will read me my textbook readings that I have to do. So whenever a teacher assigns, you know, read chapter one or something while I'm at the gym, while I'm doing laundry, while I'm cooking, whatever it is, I just have it read it to me and that way I'm doing multiple things at the same time. So right now, right now my multitasking is lunch, presentation, tv show, all at once. I need to shower because I did a slick back today. I just got back. I went to the grocery store to get my dog's food. He's very picky. He likes this like one food and they sell it at Wagmans. I love Wagmans. It's a great grocery store but it's kind of far from me but I had a meeting near the area which is Soho. I had a meeting in Soho anyways so I went to do my meeting, bought his food and I just got back home. So I did a slick back this morning because my plan was to hang out with a friend that I knew I was going to hang out with today but we were just going to go to dinner, do something chill and now we're going to go out. So now I need to wash my hair to go out but she gets here in like 45 minutes. That's why I said I need to run to at least just have my hair wet and then it can air dry as we hang out and then go later tonight. It's still early like we still have six hours before we go out but I'm going to be hanging out with her until then. Yeah meetings on Saturday are low-key really fun because they don't feel as like meeting as like during the week. Okay my presentation is for a finance class. I already have the content I just need to put into slides so it shouldn't be too bad but I'm gonna do that and I'll talk to you guys in a little bit.
