You could move to New York City.
Rent an 852-square-foot apartment for $5,503 a month.
Blow $500 on three “first dates” a week and somehow remain single for six years.
Finally meet someone you like, then discover they’re “not really looking for anything serious right now.”
Get a master’s degree so you can qualify for an internship.
Apply to 147 jobs, get 93 automated rejections, and finally find an “entry-level” position requiring five years of experience.
Eventually land a six-figure job and still need a roommate to make rent.
Pay federal income tax, New York State income tax, AND New York City income tax because apparently living there is a three-level subscription.
Learn that a “quiet neighborhood” means the sirens only come by every 20 minutes.
Pay $27 every day for a sandwich (no sides) because the place has exposed brick and a handwritten menu.
Take the subway to work every morning and develop the useful skill of pretending not to notice absolutely anything happening around you.
Spend 45 minutes traveling three miles.
Carry your groceries home six blocks because parking near your apartment is more of a philosophical concept than an actual possibility.
Have “owning a washer and dryer” become one of your primary measures of generational wealth.
Walk past a mountain of trash bags on your way to a restaurant with a Michelin star.
Tell your friends back home you don’t need a car while spending $46 on an Uber because the subway is delayed again.
Go to Central Park when you want to remember what trees look like.
Spend your twenties telling everyone you could NEVER live anywhere else.
Then one day you visit your cousin in Iowa.
He has a house with four bedrooms, a garage, a yard, two cars, four kids, and somehow pays less than you do for the apartment where your refrigerator touches your couch.
But hey.
The NYC bagels are incredible.
What Ecuador did against Germany today was the very definition of football drama.
Just imagine this: Ecuador came into the game with only one point after losing to Ivory Coast and drawing with Curaçao. They were facing the group leaders, Germany, and almost everyone expected them to be eliminated from the World Cup.
Then Germany scored the opener, a goal that many felt should have been ruled out. But Ecuador didn’t let their heads drop. Just seven minutes later, they found the equalizer. Even then, a draw still wasn’t enough—they were still heading out of the tournament.
In the second half, Ecuador completely overwhelmed Germany with relentless counterattacks, intensity, and chance after chance until they finally pulled off the miracle, scoring the winner in the 78th minute. Their head coach completely lost himself in the moment, sprinting into the stands to celebrate with his wife—an absolutely iconic scene.
Up until the 78th minute, Ecuador were heading home. By the final whistle, they had booked their place in the Round of 32 as one of the best third-placed teams for the first time in 20 years, thanks to a historic comeback that the Ecuadorian people will never forget. ❤️

Salve, oh Patria, ¡mil veces! oh Patria.
¡Gloria a ti! ¡Gloria a ti!
Ya tu pecho, tu pecho rebosa,
gozo y paz, ya en tu pecho rebosa,
y tu frente, tu frente radiosa
más que el sol contemplamos lucir.
y tu frente, tu frente radiosa
más que el sol contemplamos lucir.
