  • Hey Siri, play Welcome to New York.

  • Now playing Welcome to New York by Taylor Swift.

  • So, it's been about two weeks since I moved into New York City, and the move-in process has been a little bit hectic.

  • I shipped some packages from school, but some of the packages got lost during transit, which is really unfortunate, but there's nothing I can really do about it now.

  • I'm actually staying in the same place that I was last summer.

  • My friend Chawan was kind enough to let me sublet from him again, and I'm super lucky and grateful for that.

  • But now this is the second time I'm here, I'm equipped with some knowledge from last year, and I'm ready to make the most out of my summer.

  • But the main reason I'm in New York is actually because...

  • Oops, sorry, give me a sec.

  • There's this Chinese idiom, I think it goes, 早饭吃好,午饭吃饱,晚饭吃少.

  • I don't know if this is scientifically backed up, but it basically means eat a hearty breakfast, a full lunch, and a small dinner.

  • I just finished writing my planner, what I need to do for the day, and one very imperative task that I have is getting some toilet paper.

  • I also need to send out some job applications, and if things go well, then I'll have a job after I graduate college.

  • If things don't go well, I will be disowned.

  • Just kidding.

  • I think.

  • Alright, toilet paper is not gonna walk over here by itself.

  • Leave a comment below what your goals are for the summer.

  • Just got to Target, and now I'm in the toilet paper section.

  • We've got ultra cushion, performance, breathable.

  • Alright, I think I'm gonna get the ultra cushion ones.

  • I just got home from Target, and I promise I got actual toilet paper.

  • I'm gonna be seeing some friends later, so I want to make sure that I get all my work done and I'm stress-free when I'm hanging out with them.

  • I think it's a very good habit to take care of your needs first.

  • And now that it is finally summer, I have a little bit more time to reflect on my year, and one thing that I have really tried prioritizing this year was my mental health.

  • If mental health is something that is important to you, then you might find the sponsor of today's video relevant.

  • What the hell is wrong with him, Mike?

  • Evelyn and I are on our way to a musical, Titanic.

  • But it's like-

  • And we're acting in it.

  • Yeah, we're actually starring in it.

  • So I'll be Romeo, and I'll be Juliet.

  • Yeah.

  • This is my second musical ever, so I'm pretty excited.

  • Uh, what song are you listening to right now?

  • I've got issues.

  • I saved your life.

  • It's a red light.

  • No, it's actually walking.

  • What was that?

  • I love walking in the streets with Fred, so that I don't get run over by cars.

  • So I get run over instead.

  • Yeah.

  • Gotcha, gotcha.

  • Yeah, yeah.

  • Totally understandable.

  • Look at me in the eyes when you say that.

  • Your makeup looks so good today.

  • Thank you.

  • Your makeup looks really good today.

  • I actually don't have any makeup on, so thank you.

  • Oh wow, you're such a picnic for saying that.

  • I actually don't have any makeup on.

  • I'm just telling the truth.

  • Our goal this summer is to get 10k steps, average.

  • I'll let you guys know how the musical is.

  • Alright, bye.

  • Thank you.

  • Ah, we just finished watching Titanic.

  • It was so funny.

  • We were laughing the entire time.

  • It was honestly great.

  • Highly recommend watching it.

  • Yes.

  • Yes.

  • This is Luke.

  • Do you want to introduce yourself?

  • What'd you say?

  • So that people want to know, how's the vocal therapy going?

  • I retired.

  • You retired?

  • Yeah.

  • I actually work at this restaurant now.

  • I made all this food.

  • Yeah, guys, no more music from Luke Chang ever again.

  • Bye bye.

  • Yeah.

  • It's too many days when I feel alone.

  • So I pray to God.

  • Then he reminds me I'm not alone.

  • He gave me you.

  • How was dinner?

  • It was pretty good.

  • Yeah.

  • I went to this Korean place.

  • Uh huh.

  • I sat next to this weird guy.

  • Uh huh.

  • I didn't like him very much.

  • Oh really?

  • He kinda stank.

  • You did?

  • Yeah.

  • What'd he smell like?

  • I don't know.

  • That's my favorite dog.

  • How was your time playing in the dog park?

  • It was good, man.

  • I never really felt at home.

  • Wait, look.

  • Honestly, if I sang you a song, could you tell me if you think I could be like music industry worthy?

  • Yeah, for sure.

  • Okay.

  • Oh, I'm getting nervous.

  • Give me a song to sing.

  • Hallelujah.

  • Hallelujah.

  • Guys, I didn't give up, man.

Hey Siri, play Welcome to New York.
