The best part of freshman year at LIM College is the Work Project program. I will have the experience of working at a retail job in the greatest shopping district known to man -- New York City. And the best part about it is I get paid! And the best part about getting paid is payday! Ask any LIM College student, the day after payday or even right after, that day turns into a shopping spree.

The City obviously has some of the best shopping. My first stop is SoHo. South of Houston St. has some of the greatest stuff. Take the 6 train to Spring St. Make a left and there's TopShop/TopMan. Or make a right and there's Bloomingdales and UniQlo. SoHo is also filled with really great boutiques with some of the season's hottest trends.

Next stop, Midtown Manhattan. Fifth Avenue of course. It has the biggest H&Ms, the biggest Zara, and of course Bendel's, Bergdorf's, and Saks! Next stop, one street over to Madison Avenue. This is where the real damage happens. High-end designer boutiques.

Next thing I know, I'm broke again and hauling all of my bags back uptown to the dorms. I struggle to fit everything new into a tiny little closet!
