This semester has proven to be a very interesting one. After choosing a Microbiology LC as my first choice, and then being put into LC 13, I was extremely nervous for my first semester of college. I was not sure what to expect. Wanting to become a nurse, I’m not sure what the food history of New York City would provide me with. However, the semester has deemed itself very insightful. I am grateful for all of the interesting things that both the Psychology class, and the history class has taught me. I was fascinated to learn why we eat and drink the things we do, and how eating disorders come about. Being a native New Yorker, I was shocked to learn how vital oysters were in New York City’s food and goods exchange. If it was not for oysters, New York may not be as popular as it is today. I am extremely grateful for all of things I have learned this semester, and now I can learn ways to apply them to my everyday life. Thank you LC 13!
