This
weekend I went on my first Fordham Retreat, Emmaus 114. The retreat took
place at Fordham’s amazing retreat house in Goshen. I had an amazing
weekend full of prayer, personal reflection, and lots of fun! This was one of
my favorite Fordham experiences so far. I made so many new friends who I can’t
wait to hang out with outside of the retreat. It was the perfect way to
recharge before midterms. |

This
weekend I also went on the Emmaus 114 retreat. We stayed at Fordham’s own
beautiful retreat house in Goshen, NY. There are various retreats available for
students throughout the year, each with a slightly different focus. It
was a very fulfilling experience, and I definitely recommend signing up for
one! |

The
cold weather couldn't stop me from heading into Manhattan this weekend for a
delicious dinner at Rolf's, a German restaurant known for its awesome food and
Christmas decorations (that stay up all winter)!

This
past weekend, I went into Manhattan and had dinner at Havana Central, a Cuban
restaurant in Midtown. After dinner, I stumbled upon a really good cookie place
called Schmackary's. On the menu were 45 different types of cookies. The one I
got was chocolate chip with a hint of sea salt.

This
weekend was a great opportunity for me to hang out with friends from both on
campus and off! I took the Ram Van downtown and went to see the musical If/Then
with a friend and also met up with a friend from Australia at the theatre who
gave me this really cool boomerang!

I
went to see the musical Wicked on Broadway with my roommates. Out of the five
of us, only three of us had seen it before so it was a really exciting trip. We
began the evening by going out to dinner at Enzo's, one of our favorite
restaurants on Arthur Avenue. After that we grabbed some dessert at Palombo and
sprinted to catch the next Metro North Train to Grand Central. After quickly
navigating through the city we made it just in time for the show to begin.
Although I have already seen Wicked once before, it was an amazing performance.
After the show, we decided to take the subway home to save some money and came
back to Fordham. One of my favorite aspects of attending Fordham is how easy it
is to explore and experience Manhattan. There's no better feeling than escaping
the Bronx for a little while and enjoying the endless opportunities that lie
just 20 minutes away.
