Midnight Train to NYC!

 As a child you dream and imagine about all the things you want to do when you get older. Most people think that those things will never happen, or their just some childhood fantasy. I however knew that one day I would be in the "Big City". When I would go and how I would get there was the only problem. I decided to go the Northern Michigan University for college to be closer to family (Actually because It was 8 hrs away with instate tuition). It was a great experience, but my heart wasn't there. Little ol' nature-filled, fresh air Marquette wasn't doing it for me. I needed pollution, exhaust pipes and a little more trash in my life. I needed more concrete and less trees. I wanted Bums instead of Bears! What was I to do? In the middle of my Junior year I decided it was time. No more waiting, no more excuses, I was leaving. A week before classes began for Spring Semester I got Accepted into Adelphi University in Long Island, New York. With 40 bucks in my pocket and my life in four VERY heavy suitcases, I was on the Midnight train to NYC! I saw a conductor walking past and I asked how long before we arrive? His reply, YOU'RE RIGHT ON TIME!
