It’s now been about a year and a half since I graduated college and upon ~reflecting~ I have realized that there are many things I’m infinitely glad I did and others that I wish I’d done a bit more of.
Here are all of the things you should do before you graduate college, from someone who has many fond memories and a few regrets.
Hello, world! I just got back from Seattle, Washington, a city that’s been on my travel bucket list for years.
I went with my boyfriend and we spent five days and four nights there, which felt like the perfect amount of time. We stayed in a really cozy and beautiful AirBnB studio apartment about 15 minutes from Seattle’s city center (or, I guess, what seems like the city center to me … where all of the attractions are).
Here is my ultimate Seattle travel guide, including the highs, lows, must-visits, must-eats, and all of my best travel tips and tricks for checking out this city.
My usual commute to and from work usually involves about an hour and a half of walking, riding a train, riding a ferry, and taking the subway (or more walking). And even though that sounds like such a nightmare for some … I don’t mind it? I know, I know.
Most days I view my commute as a time to get some reading done and to sort of relax (as much as one can when surrounded by people) … but some days are nightmarish, like when kids on bikes block train doors, when people blast their music sans headphones, or even when forms of transit get incredibly delayed or stuck.
And after months and months of going to and from work, I’ve compiled a list of some ways you can help stop a bad commute from getting worse or even just make a commute better from day to day.
So, you’ve graduated from college. You’ve landed your first, adult, full-time job. You’ve saved some money. Buuut you haven’t exactly moved out yet. By you, I’m totally also talking about me. And possibly also you. Perhaps this is a niche post.
Basically, the idea that once you graduate and get a job you should immediately move out is daunting but really common. Of course, not everyone is able to live at their parents’ house post-graduation and not everyone gets a job that’s close to home. And yeah this idea certainly makes sense, I mean once you have an income and are an adult, moving out feels like the next logical step … but it isn’t always for everyone.
For those (like me) who are living at home, working, and unsure of whether or not it’s time to move out, these things might help you decide if it’s something you’re ready for right now. Here are some signs you’re not actually ready to move out.
