Everything starts out simple in life. You're born without a care or problem in the world. Suddenly once you're exposed to the actual world, you gain these problems and that's when your life goes down to shit. These are what us humans face everyday but I face it ten times worse. Living in an apartment in the middle of Manhattan, watching this depressed city. Wealth doesn't revolve around this area, that's in the bigger part of this city. Some people made the best of this life but I haven't taken that into consideration. The only thing I have in consideration is getting the fuck out of here. ¨Why see the world when you got the beach, the sweet life¨ Frank Ocean says in his song ¨Sweet Life¨ but I cannot believe that. I need to see the world and the start is getting out of here.
It's now 8 am and my classes at NYU start at 9. I spent my whole life and gave up everything to be at this school, and now thinking of leaving this filthy city is still on my mind. Okay, I need to really work on making up my mind. As my feet pace over to the ghetto subway station, I hear thunderous amounts of footsteps coming toward me from behind, and I turn around realizing that it's only one person behind me, and it's my ex from high school.
"Kill me now," I say under my breath.
I then hear him say, "Hey I remember you, are you still untrustworthy?"
"Leave the past behind, I swear to god this is annoying when it's brought up" I say with a tone of aggression.
"Hey man, I'm just asking you a question but here's another. Where you even going to this early in the morning?"
"I'm going to go get a life at college."
"Aye, me too! New York University!"
"Oh that's great, I'm happy for you," I say sarcastically.
15 minutes go by, my ex from high-school is still trying to catch up with me, and I'm walking up the stairs from the subway stop that is close to my new college. Already I thought this day was crappy and was going to get even more. I walked across the street with my ex slowly behind me but then I stopped to just take a look at this new path in life, the one that will make or break my future. I decided to open the giant doors, and I walked onto a not-so crowded lobby room, even though everyone's voices were echoing off the giant wall with a warm light coming through. I could hear the elevator buttons being pushed, people walking at adequate speeds, pages flipping and people writing. I was going to have to get used to it as it is going to be the next 4 years of my life. I then walked slowly around the giant lobby room as I saw many people I went to highschool with wondering how they even got in. Along with the people I saw, I saw my ex-best friend from high-school, the one who shamed me after the breakup with my ex who she was friends with (she did this because I then started talking to someone else then she told him and he got sad, and then she got mad at me but I didn't forgive her, I never have). She was staring at me awkwardly as I tried to avoid eye contact with her, I then looked again she was walking closer and closer to me, and finally approached me. I gave her a dirty look and asked her ¨And what do you want?¨ She chuckled a little and responded ¨Why does NYU let in the untrustworthy?¨
I pushed her back away from me as she tripped on herself leaving her on the dirty floor. I then replied ¨Because NYU wants a strong athletic program and I was they one they were looking for¨ I flipped my hair and walked away with a sassy tone to it as she was still on the ground, I couldn't waste my time, I had to get to my first class.
