    💌 A Love Letter to New York City

    August 25, 2026 /

    All things moving in dorm decor, add/drop period and the fun stuff! On August 19th, I arrived into Newark New Jersey to begin my exchange at Rutgers University. I spent a few days with family and friends in New Jersey, visiting the US Open, collecting some room essentials, and soaking up the sunshine!!
