I got used to the feeling of waking up, getting coffee, and strolling all throughout Manhattan. As we walked out of Penn Station I knew summer was officially coming to an end because I could feel the cold air hitting my face.

My good friend, Emily, loves Hershey's chocolate bar, but sadly, I cannot get her to try snickers. I think Emily should try Snickers because it is chocolate, has protein, and it has health benefits.

At the beginning of the movie, Phil was not a good person because he was full of himself, sarcastic, and did not value people or work. Phil seems like he would be an easy person to get along…
