"Everyone should have a blog. It's the most democratic thing ever."

Around this time last year, I was celebrating the holidays by myself in my apartment in Durham, NC (my roommate and most of my friends went home for the holidays). It is not as bad as it might sound to some people because I appreciate the tranquility and my time alone. Spending the holidays by myself helped me reflect on my journey and the next step I need to take.
The past six weeks have been an eye-opening experience for me. Moving to a new place and adapting while also trying to keep up academically and socially can be a very challenging experience.
I love to dress well whenever I can. That's obviously something you already know by now. I sometimes feel too dressed up for some events, and people have told me that. However,
the most important thing about dressing up for any occasion is to feel comfortable in what you are wearing. It is also good to step out your comfort zone sometimes.
Let me be honest, before writing this article I have underestimated the football culture here in the US, so I decided to go to a Major League Soccer game. I choose NYC vs. Atlanta game on May 7th at The Yankees Stadium.
But did the game change my perception of the American football culture? Well, you have to read this article to find out. Be aware that I'll be using the word football and soccer interchangeably in this article).
