First

At 2 A.M. I enter the blogging world.


Long a fan of legends like "Hyperbole and a Half" and "The Oatmeal" (among many others), I eventually decided to dive into their domain. While I may not be able to create satirical prose or tell gripping stories the way they're able to, one thing is for sure--I love to write (Oddly enough, I don't enjoy reading as much as I should--but that's beside the point). There's something incredibly satisfying about finding and putting together the perfect words to express any idea, emotion, or thought.

While writing papers for school have never seemed like much of a chore, limits are always placed on your work. While you can write in your own style, you always need to stick to a thesis statement or write to please a teacher. Hopefully this blog can serve as a limitless platform for the purpose of my individual expression.

Now, all you avid readers may be concerned as to what this blog is actually about. Well, worry not. I promise you that this will not be a whiny, "oooooh why are we here, what's my purpose in life"  bogs with me somehow finding a way to complain about how hard life in the first world is. In fact, this blog is the opposite. I'm fortunate enough to live in New York City (hence the name "New York Urbanite"), and I plan to write about "adventures" I have and what life is like as a teenager in the best city in the world. I consider myself a relatively shy person, so hopefully this blog will serve as a way for me to come out of my shell a bit and further foster my love for New York. Of course, we all have bad days, so I may occasionally digress and complain here and there, so I just ask you to bear with me. I promise you that overall, the good will outweigh the bad. I guess that's all for now. Hopefully I'll have something of substance for you to read soon.

Cheers!
