Pros

Here's a shot at optimism.

Why I like NYU:
-My professors really are some of the smartest people in the world.
-The books I'm reading for homework don't suck.
-I can go on an expedition in search of mashed potatoes at 12:30 am. And succeed, no less. Ok, they were those potato flakes. But they were still delicious.
-My roommates are really cool.
-I have a great little nook for making phone calls with the most amazing view of a gorgeous church.
-I can go out to the park at midnight and meet up with a group of friends (well, they're becoming friends) and play guitar and sing on the edge of the fountain.

Ok, that's six pros. I will refrain from listing any cons today.
