Alright, so the situation with me is I was born in the Bronx, and moved to South Florida when I was 7. Visited the summers in '04, '08 - 10, and just got back from summer vacation out there Monday. Honestly, I've never felt more at home than this summer I spent it out there. When I touched down at the LGA I felt at ease. I felt like I was home you know? It felt great being on the block, chilling with my family, bros, meeting new people. The culture, especially dominican presence, makes me feel welcomed unlike how I feel out here. I guess I'm a bit depressed you feel me? Out here walking at 3 am in my hood, I don't feel comfortable. I don't know why n_'s claim the Bronx is "scary", I've walked a good number of blocks at 2 - 3 AM plenty of times. As late as 4 AM, and I felt COMPLETELY at ease. Of course I have my guard up, but still, I just feel a sense of ease. Now im entering my final year of HS and I was looking to move up north, parents didn't take to kindly to the idea. Rejected it without hesitation, after telling them I was looking at admissions for John Jay. I have family up there, so the relocation wouldn't be hard. I want to know if it's possible to go to school and hold a part time job at the same time. Would I be able to rent out a studio apartment while doing both? I'm the type of individual with a plan, I set my mind to something I'll do it. Florida just isn't the place I want to spend my college years, or the rest of my life at. It's to slow paced for me, the clubs you hit up a couple of times, and it's the same ****. Past 2 everything is dead, NYC I was out with bro's having a blast with something or somewhere to go. Just staring out the window, seeing that sunrise from the apartment was good. The summer weather, it's amazing and beats this Florida rain. Is it possible to make the move? If you can relate to my story, please share your success or the hardships you faced with a move like this. Thanks NT.
