On April 8th we headed to New York the day before accepted students day at FIT. We didn't have any specific plans for Friday, but New York is too far away to get there in time on Saturday if we hadn't stayed overnight. I created my own agenda for the day, so after a long bus ride and a late lunch, I decided my priority was finding a Pinkberry. Pinkberry is the ultimate in frozen yogurt, which made it a necessity of my trip. I chose mango yogurt with strawberries, chocolate chips, and a few brownie pieces. It definitely didn't disappoint. Everything was extremely fresh, and you could try out the yogurt flavors before you made a decision. My mom didn't need to test anything out, she knew she couldn't go wrong with chocolate.
After getting Pinkberry we decided just to walk towards 5th avenue. We stopped in a few stores but I didn't want to do any major shopping, it's just fun walking around the city and taking it in. After a lot of walking we ended our night back in the hotel with pizza, Criminal Minds, and cupcakes from Crumbs. We went to Crumbs when we visited New York in the fall, and now I think it's going to be a staple of our visits. Last time I got an amazing basic vanilla cupcake, but this time I tried a Reese Cup cupcake, and it was just as great.
On Saturday I woke up and got ready for Accepted Students Day. We had a little extra time so we hit up the school bookstore beforehand. I ended up with a new sweatshirt and a new mug in my possession. After the bookstore it was time for the planned activities of the day. I got to hear from students in my major first, but my favorite parts were hearing from a panel of the presidential scholars and then taking a tour of the dorms I didn't get to see last time I was there. After our day at FIT my mom asked me if I was still sure about attending, and of course my answer was yes. It is definitely a "you know when you know" sort of situation.
