New York [Day 1]

My parents went home to CA and left me with $1,000 in cash. I was quite happy.

Being a careful person, I was planning on going to Wells Fargo on Broadway to deposit that big amount. But before that, I had to look around for Barnes&Noble. I walked exactly one time around Long Island University and when I ended up on Willoughby St, there were only a few people around. This one skinny Black guy came up.

"Give me everything in your bag!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, or else I'll punch your face!"

"Wait, really?"

"You want me to punch you in the face?"

"..."

Well, you know what happened next. My $1,000 in cash was gone but everything else was in place, even my face.

That's how the first day went.

Edit: Damn. I just realized how I can't shop anymore! I need money for books and now that the money is gone,... Damn!!!
