After my NYC trip, I can't stop daydreaming

As a Montrealer, I was a bit apprehensive about spending over 1k CAD on a NYC trip. I finally booked the flight and flew down for a 4-day trip. I am a very laid-back, mellow kinda person in my mid-30s. All I did was walk around all over East, West, Down, Up towns and sides and villages and Brooklyn. Sat in the metro for hours on different lines, just observing New Yorkers (I hope not in a creepy way lol), stopping anywhere I wanted to eat or grab a coffee. Just tried to live a day-to-day New Yorker life.

Since I came back, I can't stop daydreaming of moving to NYC and living in Brooklyn and working at Columbia University (I work at McGill in Montreal lol, and Columbia has a beautiful campus). This past week at work, I stopped caring about my job, and all I think of is how to move to NYC and find a job.

I am only Canadian, so the possibility is very slim. I wonder if people who have visited NYC and then couldn't stop dreaming of moving to this amazing city?
