In The Beginning...

As many of you already may know, I am risking it all and moving everything to the DC area for a job at 2U. This will probably be the most terrifying time ever which is why I am insanely grateful to have friends and family in my life to support me. I wanted to do this blog series to highlight the ups and downs of post-college, new job life. I will hopefully be attending grad school as well during this time which will make it even more crazy. 

These posts will be about my new experiences in a new city and how I (hopefully) persevere through it. The main thing right now is attempting to find housing in this expensive place. Who knew that a monthly rent for one could be over $1,000?! 

Another reason why I think this blog may or may not be interesting to the real world is because I have searched for a comprehensive list of budgeting tactics for this city and have found nothing. I know it would have been awesome to find something that outlined the metro costs, gas prices, groceries, and housing options all in one place. Of course every area is different but I will just showcase my findings to the best of my ability. 

That is all for now! More posts to come.
