On top of the world #NYCLife9

The things you feel when you are standing on top of the world while watching the sunset are almost indescribable. You hear immense power coming for underneath you, and at the same time the peaceful quietness that being so high produces. Bas, Renee, Elien and I stood on top of the rock watching the sunset for about three hours. We left because we had to, not because we necessarily wanted to. Earlier on we had decided that we wanted to pay Bryant park a visit. When we arrived the lovely smell of all lot of food stalls selling the most outrages types of fries and crazy combinations of pastries which made my mouth water. Our tummies rumbled and we headed to the place we wanted to have dinner at. I had heard of by CHLOE before, I found it on Instagram and knew immediately I wanted to have dinner there. I got the guac burger with sweet potato fries. It was the best meal I had had in a long time. If it were up to me I would eat there everyday.

I have always been an Harry Potter fan, so when I heard there would be a prequel movie of the great serie,s I knew I had to see it. So therefore my team and I went to the nearest shopping mall. First we got a smoothie, which was amazing by the way, then we tried on some clothes so that we would know which size to buy on Black Friday. The theater was all that I had expected it to be and more. First of all, the great hall was exactly what you see in the movies, but the chairs, ma god, those deserve there own sentence. The first thing you notice when you gazed upon there beauty is their puffiness. It feels like sitting on a cloud. Then if you think you are sitting up to straight, no need to worry because you can press a button and you are in sleeping position. But then of course your legs might not be comfortable. Well there is a button for that too. It whips up a leg supporter, the one you see on a old mans chair. Trust me it was easily to say the most heavenly sitting/laying experience I have had at the movies, ever. The film was fantastic by the way. All the memories from my childhood reemerged from my brain. I had a little mental breakdown about the end of the movie. Which I mean in a good way. No need to worry I won't spoil it for you.
Afterwards we had dinner at the cheesecake factory. I had again a veggie burger. It was really good. But the best part of dinner was of course the cheesecake. The oreo cheesecake was the one I went for, and it did not disappoint. Yes, it was a good week.

Yours Faithfully,

Elianne

Mental health during Quarantine & Chill

Everyone is stuck in isolation. If it is with family, roommates, pets or just by yourself it can be hard. Not having enough alone time or having too much alone time can drive you wild. If you are familiar with mental health struggles this might be a difficult time for you. So here are some tips on how to get you through the days. PS: even if you don't struggle with mental health yourself this might still be a good read. It might help you relate or converse with those who do. 1. Meditation This is my favorite tip by far. If you're just a bit like me you'll be stuck in your head a lot. Nitpicking every single detail about yourself. Usually, in our busy student life, we have enough going on that there is not a lot of time left to spend hours in our heads. However, now that we're stuck sitting inside there is a whole lot of opportunities to snuggle up underneath a blanket with a cup of tea and start to fantasize about everything you hate about yourself. So I

KLM Vegan Meal Review

Hi globetrotter, I mean why else would you read an airplane meal review. Or maybe you are just a curious person, if so, same. Let me start with a disclaimer, in saying that no airplane food can truly be like really good. So if I say "excellent" know that it's probably just decent but for the sake of writing a fun-to-read review I am gonna use terms like that. Me and my vegan friend flew from Amsterdam to Bali and back, during both flights we got three vegan meals. The first being a dinner. It included; water,  a cup of butter (with I left cuz I had no idea where to put it on), a small salad and a meal consisting of mashed chickpeas, quinoa and a brown bean/onion/bell pepper stir fry. The salad was ok, the dressing was definitely needed. The big meal however was surprisingly tasty, the chickpea puree was nicely salted, the quinoa not overly cooked and the stir fry decently spiced. And the fruit tasted fresh. I cleaned the plate. The Second was a breakfast. Includin

MOCO

HI!! I went to a museum again. Let me tell you about it.  Moco museum in Amsterdam got my attention because they have a large Banksy and now and a Kusama expo. I love Banksy's street style graffiti art and really wanted to see his work up close. Afterwards I found out that this museum is on Banksy's list of illegal expositions. As in he did not give them permission to show his art. So something to think about if you're considering a visit. Nonetheless it was awesome to see his take on controversial topics.  The Kusama part was very small and therefore kind of a let down.  However, we really came for the Amethyst Ball Cavern created by Daniel Arsham. He has done a new show called Connection Time and I was pleasantly surprised. I loved his take on it with connection the alternative realty with architecture and pop culture objects.  We didn't spend much time there since it is not a big museum and usually crowded. It was still a fun activity, especially since we we
