Hello, guys.
Good morning.
And welcome to my rooftop of my apartment building, which I am legally not allowed to be on.
But I will do anything for a good shot.
I also figured, what better background to talk about Los Angeles and why I hate it if you guys have been watching my channel for a while, You know that I have been hinting about finding a new place to move for a while now, and I have finally made the decision.
I am moving out of L A this January.
So in literally, like, a couple weeks, which is really, really exciting.
A lot of you guys are going to use their like, Does she live in New York?
Does he live in London?
Does she live in L.
A?
Is she staying in L.
A.
Is she leading away?
So I just want to clear that all up today and talk to you.
Kind of about my experience living in l.
A.
Over the past three and 1/2 years and why I decided it's not for me.
So to give you guys a little background, I was born and raised in Goodall suburban Maryland.
Oh, yeah, the nation's least significant state.
Now.
I was not like a suburbs gal.
I was so excited to move super far away to a big city and to, like, achieve big things in Hollywood or whatever industry.
I ended up in the summer after I graduated from high school, when I was 18 years old, I moved all by myself out to Los Angeles.
I literally, like packed two suitcases and flew myself across the country and moved into an apartment with complete strangers from Facebook.
And I have been living in L.
A ever since I went to film school.
I got my degree at U C.
L A.
In two and 1/2 years.
God, that's not sorry.
That's really about it.
So I'm just trying to explain the timeline here now.
I graduated around eight months ago and a little bit before I graduated.
I moved into this apartment that I'm currently living in where I live all by myself.
Now, at this point, YouTube was taking off.
I think I had like, 800,000 subscribers, so it was becoming more of a full time job.
But I was pretty sure that overall, for my long term career goals.
I still wanted to be a screenwriter, which was what my concentration was in school.
So I figured I'm just gonna stay in l A for the rest of my life.
This is where my career is.
This is where I had a boyfriend at the time.
You know, like that just makes sense things were gonna fall into place.
Now, as my year lease comes to a close in L.
A, I started thinking about what I actually wanted to do with my life.
Just a simple question, Ashleigh.
I have really taken a step back recently and thought about what I want my future to look like, what I want to be doing five years from now, I no longer think that stream writing is gonna be the next step in my career, as YouTube has obviously, like, blown up quite a lot.
This is now my full time job, and it is a job that I'm fortunate enough to be able to do anywhere.
But of course, YouTube doesn't last forever.
And I'm actually really excited for this next chapter of my life to focus much more on aspirations.
Outside of YouTube, I designed a jewelry collection this past year, and even that small taste of designing something was one of the most exciting and gratifying experiences of my life.
It was just so cool to see something go from a sketch to a real product.
Thio do the photography and modeling, and it was just such a cool process.
What I really want to focus on in the years to come is building a clothing business, and that is something that you can do in L.
A.
But it's not a necessity to do in L.
A.
And in fact, I'm immediately regretting filming goes on a rooftop.
That is something that I could do in L.
A.
But it's also something that I could do in a lot of other cities in the world.
So all of that is a long way of saying that I realized for the first time that I don't I need to stay in L.
A.
For my career.
I also think it's very much a myth that you need to be in L.
A in order to do YouTube and Instagram.
Yes, I do take meetings here.
My manager lives here right now.
There are a lot of kind of like agencies and events and stuff like that.
But all of that is so around the edges compared Thio the real work of YouTube, which is just sitting in front of a camera and then sitting behind a computer and editing it for, like, three hours.
And that's all.
Something that I could do anywhere.
Also on a more personal level.
Uh, l A has just been I've experienced a lot of growing pains here.
I have felt the loneliest I have ever felt.
I have felt the most depressed I have ever felt.
I have been, like, the most self destructive I've ever been.
And I would love the opportunity Thio kind of start fresh and open a new chapter in my life.
There was literally a man like on a unit cycle Segway just like blasting music from his boom box.
Wow.
L a is a place.
Hi.
Okay, so my camera ran out of battery, so I'm on my other camera, which is actually a better camera.
But recently I've been filming on my shitty camera cause it makes me feel like a little bit more comfortable than my big Actually.
Nice camera.
which is stupid, because the reason I bought this nice camera was so that I could have better quality videos.
But now it makes me nervous, uh, talking to it because I I am a little bit scared of you guys sometimes because there are so many of you and I cannot be likable to two million people.
Personal stuff aside, I wanted to break down some of the pros and cons that I've experienced living in L A over the past three years.
In case you guys are thinking about moving here, in case you're just like wondering what l a really like here is my take on it.
Do me a favor and do not take any of this personally if you live in l.
A.
And he love l.
A.
If you live in a different part of l.
A than me, if you had a different l A experience, then, like I'm not trying to detract from that at all.
These are just all of my opinions based off of somebody who's lived in West L.
A in mid city and who has also gone to film school here and works in social media.
So I have kind of mingled with a very like, stereotypically l a group of people.
I'm gonna be, like, complaining a lot about L.
A in this video, but I don't mean to, like, act like these are the biggest fucking problems in the world.
I'm so fortunate to even be able to afford rent in L.
A.
And consider moving to cities like New York and London that are even more expensive.
So anyways, but that aside, let me fucking complain about her life.
10 minutes.
The number one thing that frustrates me about L.
A is the urban planning.
I don't know who planned the city.
I think the answer is that nobody did because it is so, so badly laid out.
Even though l.
A is cloak really called a city.
And technically it is.
It is really just like a sprawling 10 mile diameter suburb.
L.
A is essentially a bunch of apartment buildings, really expensive houses that only celebrities can afford.
Strip malls, the occasional very cute shopping street that actually feels a little bit city ish.
And downtown l.
A, which actually has high rises.
It's this weird urban planning conundrum.
I literally took a class about this in college, which is like lions so miffed about it.
There are so many people that it's not practical for everybody to drive because the streets aren't wide enough to actually hold that much traffic.
You get stuck in traffic for like several hours a day, but it's also to spread out to really be able to invest in a good public transit system.
Because, for example, if you built a stop on my street within a 15 block radius, there's probably only like 500 people who would be able to use that stop.
If you build that in New York, thousands of people would be able to use it, so it's much harder to fund actual public transit projects.
Before I had a car here, I did use the bus system for like a year and 1/2 and it can get you places.
I think the bus system is constantly being improved, but to be completely honest, like it is, still ask when I had to take the bus to my internship half of the time, the bus just wouldn't show up or it would show up like 20 minutes late, and at that point.
It makes it incredibly difficult to actually, like schedule your day around public transit because it's just a fucking wild card, whether it's gonna come or not.
Obviously, I'm so fortunate I was able to buy a car, too, just like escape that problem.
And there are thousands of people in L.
A who actually have to take two buses to work every day and have to spend like an extra hour catching an earlier bus to make sure if the bus doesn't come, that they won't be late for work and stuff like that.
That's a much larger problem than just like it's hard to go and see my friends in L.
A.
But I'm gonna still complain about it anyways.
All of this is to say that L.
A is a driving city.
But driving is very hard because if you hit rush hour, which is pretty much, I would say 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and then 4 p.m. To 7 p.m. which is like nearly all day.
If you hit any of those rush hours Oh, baby, it takes you so long to get anywhere.
I take it a guy who lived in downtown and I live in Westwood.
Those things are only 10 miles apart.
But in order to drive there to get dinner with him, it took me two hours.
It took me two hours to trust 10 miles.
It was absolutely insane.
That's like on the East Coast road tripping to another city.
It can be especially hard to, like, even just hang out with somebody on a week, day after work.
I pretty much never do that with friends here in l.
A.
Because by the time you get off work, somebody has to drive like 40 minutes to the other one.
You have to figure out where we're gonna meet.
You have to figure out where you're gonna park which so, honestly, sometimes in L.
A like I have driven all the way to places and just not been able to find parking.
So I have to turn around and go back home.
You have to figure out if you're gonna drink and if you're gonna drink, Are you willing to spend, like, $40 on Uber's going back and forth?
And all of that is what I call social friction because it just makes it a little bit harder to hang out with people.
And when you're already bad making friends like me, those extra difficulties definitely don't help.
The next thing that I really don't connect with L.
A is the culture, and this is gonna be such a generalization because l A doesn't just have one culture.
I think a lot of influencers in particular only really experience West L.
A, which is kind of the fake culture that I'm gonna be talking about.
But there is so much rich culture in East L.
A and South L a that have histories that go way beyond, just like people being into social media in Hollywood.
And I can't speak for those.
Okay, so number one thing about I like culture is I feel like people here are very nice, but they're very fake.
Nice.
And that really bothers me because I would rather somebody be honestly mean to me than to be fake.
Nice to me, a lot of the people I've met here would be, like, nice, almost access to my face, Like to the point of flattery, like Oh, my God.
Like your hair looks so nice.
Like I love your outfit.
I love you so much.
But, you know, in reality, those people might, you know, actually be talking shit about You are just not like you as much as they say that they do.
One of the things that I miss about the East Coast is like people being real with you and being mean to you and making fun of you and like pointing out your flaws and teasing each other.
But deep down, you know that you really care about each other and I don't know, that's lovely.
That's what friendship is to me.
I would also say overall, L A culture is very image oriented.
People talk about their diets so much here.
I literally, like, wanna stab myself If another guy on a date talks about his Skeeto diet like, I literally I don't give a shit.
I'm so sorry.
I don't care now.
Obviously I'm biased because I work with a lot of people in the entertainment industry.
But I have found overall, I've seen a lot of more people with plastic surgery, a lot more people talking about their diets, picking apart their appearance.
Ah, lot more people just rely on their appearance as a signifier of self worth.
Where I come from, like your pride in yourself, comes from your intellect and your achievements and that lay those really are things that I've seen people be as proud of as they are of their appearance or fame and those air, just like not values that I want to focus on.
Those aren't values that I connect with, although I do think their values that I have led to get to my head and a little bit and like I want Thio Stop that Admittedly like I started carrying way more about my appearance ever since I lived in L.
A.
And I, like, want to stop that because it's not something that's worth that.
Much of my brainpower also related to image.
I've noticed that L.
A has a very white blonde, skinny ideal, and it's very hard to describe, like where that comes from.
It's just something you feel once you get to L.
A.
I think it's all the movie posters.
It's the way that people treat you.
It's who people talk about, is being attractive, and I think that's changing.
I think people are embracing diversity a lot more But compared to other cities in the world, L.
A, for all of its liberal ideals, really has not caught up in terms of embracing woman's beauty and all the forms that comes on a personal level.
I have honestly, never felt more self conscious about my race.
I've always been like, very proud to be half Asian and half white.
It was always something that, like, honestly, was a little bit cool In my high school.
People were like, Oh, wow, that's really unique.
Moving to L.
A was the first time that I ever felt Yeah, look out of place or shitty about it in the first place.
I ever wanted to look more white and like That's just bullshit.
Thirdly, I think the culture in L.
A is very selfish, and this is both good and bad.
You know, people are very, very independent, and L.
A.
They're very entrepreneurial, and they know how to look out for themselves first.
It's not about, you know, settling down and relying on a partner.
It's all about making something for yourself on your own.
I'm honestly, really glad that I was able to experience that when I first came to college.
I was very, very boy.
Crazy.
Okay, actually Know when I first came to college, pretty much into, like a couple of months ago.
I was very boy crazy.
I always felt like I needed somebody else to complete my life.
And it's been really good for me to be all of these people who I don't need to rely on anybody else, especially women in L.
A woman in L.
A are kick ass human beings.
L.
A has definitely taught me to fend for myself when there's absolutely nobody else looking out for me, and that's something I really appreciate.
But at the same time, the selfish culture here like, makes things a little bit lonely.
To be honest, I've met some really cool people here, but all of my friends and all of the people that I've dated have felt very transactional.
That being said, there are definitely some positives about the culture here.
California is one of the most entrepreneurial places you will ever be that applies to San Francisco and L.
A.
There's no stigma for working for yourself for freelancing, even for like working at a coffee shop to make ends meet while you pursue something that you love, I think that could be really freeing in a way for people who really, like, want to go for it.
Another thing is how sex positive people are here.
They're just like, incredibly open about sex, about kings, about fuckin multiple people, sometimes all at once.
And that was something really refreshing for me especially.
You know, I lost my virginity here.
I kind of like become sexually active here.
That's a growth phrase, kind of come into my sexuality here.
And it's been a cool place to do that because I had a lot of internalized stigma about having sex about feeling slutty, and L A has definitely helped free me of that.
So that's been lovely.
Let's talk about dating in L.
A, which is obviously not the most important thing to consider in a city.
But whatever, it's fun to talk about.
My manager and I were having a conversation in New York about whether guys are hotter in L.
A or New York, and my take is that guys, or definitely physically more attractive in a way, literally like I have never seen a higher concentration of beautiful well groomed, toned men like they have their shit together.
I think the pressure to look beautiful is equally like on guys and girls in L.
A.
There are objectively more hot guys in l.
A.
But if you spot a hot guy in New York, he's almost guaranteed to have a suit and a job and be at least somewhat interesting.
First is like in L.
A.
Honestly, they're just a lot of people with empty personalities.
In a way, I'm so sorry to say it.
I think the difference is that people in L.
A can survive off their looks because your looks can be your job in L.
A.
But in other cities, your looks can't be your entire job.
So people have to like, have other interests again.
This is a stereotype.
You could be hot and a really interesting person, but I think they're much harder to find it out.
I met a couple of guys in person in L.
A.
But I would say overall most people will meet through dating APS just because L.
A is so spread out and the nightlife is not quite as robust as it isn't somewhere like New York so it's a little bit harder to meet like people spontaneously.
Those are my name talking points about L.
A.
But I did want to finish up with a couple compliments.
First of all, there are so many different neighborhoods to choose from.
The vibe in like Echo Park and Silver Lake is so different than Venice Beach or Santa Monica or Fairfax.
And it could be really cool to have that much variety on a given day.
You could just drive to a new neighborhood and explore that super cool.
One thing that a lot of people love about L.
A is the beautiful weather and the fact that we don't really have seasons here.
It's kind of just sunny year round.
Right now, it's a little bit cloudy, and that's kind of a dramatic as it gets there.
So much nature.
You can go to the beach, you can hike up mountains.
I went on a hike like once this year, and I hated every second of it because I hate exercising so much.
But some people are really into nature, and it's one of the few places where you have a city that is completely surrounded by nature, so you have really easy access to.
That's a big pro for me.
Is the thrift in here is so good?
There's a bunch of really good vintage stores, but you also have access to like good wheels.
There's the Goodwill outlet.
You can find a really affordable stuff as well.
And that's really got something I'm gonna be missing when I moved to the city that I'm moving, too, because it's gonna be a lot harder to actually find, like affordable thrift items.
And lastly, for the film industry, this really has been the place to be.
Ultimately, I am glad that I came out to film school here because if I had gone to school anywhere else, I wouldn't have been able to actually intern in the film industry.
I wouldn't have literally seen, like movies and TV shows getting filmed on my street every single week.
It has been a really educational experience to be surrounded and truly in the film industry, so yeah, I wouldn't necessarily discourage anybody from living in our life, but I think that it takes a very specific type of person to enjoy L.
A.
I think that you'll like l A If you're from the West Coast, if you're very confident if you enjoy nature and kind of health related things, if you're an extroverted, outgoing person who could maybe overcome some of that social friction and really go out of your way.
Thio meet people.
I got a d m.
A while ago from a subscriber who lived in L.
A.
Her entire life, and she said that my issues with L.
A are really just projections of my own insecurities, which she really didn't have to come for me like that.
No, I don't blame her.
I think that she's actually quite right and that a lot of the things that I consider Collins about l.
A could actually turn into prose or something.
That's just really easy to deal with if you're much more confident person.
But yeah, I don't know.
I'm just on l a person.
I feel like I just don't fucking fit in here, and I am ready to move somewhere else, so that leads me to where am I going next?
So as some of you guys know, I spent a month in London in October and then I spent around two weeks in New York, and I just got back just about a week ago.
So, based off of my very limited time in each, here were my takes on London versus New York and which one is going to be my next move?
There's literally a helicopter, I swear.
It's like the noisiest day to film visited Yellow on first up London.
So by far my favorite thing about London was the culture.
First of all, just British humor is fucking delightful.
I love it so much, but more importantly, I love that your identity didn't center completely around work.
And Europeans might find this ironic because I know that London is one of the most like, work oriented cities in Europe, but at least compared to New York and L.
A.
It was the first time that I didn't feel defined by my job in America.
The first thing that anybody will ask you after what's your name is?
What do you do for a living?
And in London, the first thing that people ask you is where you from?
I met several people who literally didn't ask me what my job was until, like our second or third time hang out and we hardly ever talked about work.
And for somebody who's worked really like envelopes her entire life, that was really, really refreshing for me when people finally asked me what I did and I was like, Oh, I work on YouTube and Instagram They're just like Okay, cool.
So I bought this new electric scooter and it's been really convenient to get you to work.
They literally just didn't care about my job at all.
Somewhat ironically, I am constantly trying Thio just make my own job and myself seem less important.
It can get overwhelming to feel like people like care about you so much like I'm overrated, frankly, like two million people should not care about me.
And it's always nice to be in a place where I'm reminded that's my job.
It's just a job.
It's not what defines me.
I have a life outside of my job.
I could be a person outside of my job.
I also really love that in London.
Everybody really is from a different country.
I was the only American in the room for like, the first time in probably my entire life, and it was so cool to zoom out from kind of the day to day conversations I have in America, which are very much like about work.
And, you know, did you see this movie, et cetera, to zoom out and be like, Oh, what was Swedish culture like like, could you tell me about mid summer and having those zoomed out conversations about the world really helped me gain a little bit more perspective.
And we're just super interesting tohave Oh, speaking of gaining perspective, the architecture there is absolutely fucking beautiful.
It is mind blowing, and I also love the sense of history There.
I felt like the buildings were a constant reminder that, you know, society has existed so much longer before me, and it will so much longer after me and again, like, I like that comforting feeling that I don't actually matter that much.
Public transit is absolutely incredible.
It is expensive, but it is clean.
It is efficient.
It will take you anywhere on also like the train system, even if you want to go outside of London like I took a trip up to Cambridge and it was really, really easy to hop on the train.
I didn't need to take a single over my entire time that I was in London, and that was really, really nice.
Lastly, free health care.
Hello, overall.
London is an incredible city, really.
The only haunt for me was the difficulty of moving my company across the country.
Even though I like I work for myself on YouTube, I technically own a corporation, so I would have to deal with international taxes and laws, which is definitely something that I can overcome but would present a challenge.
I think the other, more significant disadvantage for me would be starting.
A clothing company would be hard in London, especially given that my main audience and my main consumer base would be here in America and especially if I want to focus on vintage clothing.
America has a much more robust vintage wholesaling environment.
Is that makes sense?
All right, Last not least, that brings us to New York, baby crows.
Weird.
Why again?
I just love New York so much.
First of all, I absolutely love the lack of social friction.
Yeah, she has lived up this time.
There has been plenty of foreplay.
Way went down on her in the two weeks that I was in New York, I met more new people than I've met in, like, three and 1/2 years in L.
A.
There was definitely this lovely culture in New York that was just like a Monge college.
New York night is how Elena described it like we were gonna go get drinks and then she was like, Oh, let me invite this friend of a friend who I've been meaning to meet.
It felt so easy and natural to just draw a quick text and be like, Hey, did you just want to meet up tonight?
It was so easy to take the subway, like 10 minutes over, too.
Visit Elena or taking another 15 minutes over to Brooklyn to meet her new friends.
Or to meet this random guy who had been in Seattle like two years ago, who happens to live in New York now?
Also, a lot of my friends from high school who really aren't my friends from high school.
We weren't that close in high school because we were all the types you like wanted to get out of Maryland, and then as soon as we actually got out of Maryland and went to college.
We realized that we were like lonely and college wasn't all it was cracked up to be, so that we all came home for the summer and bonded over that.
So they're some of my closest friends now, and a lot of them are moving up to New York this summer after they graduate college.
So that'll be really exciting.
It just feels like I have a family in New York already.
Obviously, I don't want to make my life choices just based on where my friends are, because it is completely possible to make new friends.
But I think as you grow up, you realize how important friends are and how rare it is to find friends that you really connect with and that really care about human.
No, you granted, Even if those friends didn't move to New York, there is something to be said about.
Just like New York culture clicks with me a lot more.
It's really hard to put into words, but having grown up on the East Coast, there's just like a way of interacting away that people carry themselves away, that they express themselves and that they treat other people that like I deeply, I understand it clicks with me.
It feels familiar.
I know a lot of people who drive think that the subway sucks more, that it's crowded and it's smelly, which is kind of a sometimes, but it's still really a vision, and it honestly encourages need to get out more because driving just like mixing.
And it just makes me worried I'm gonna accidentally kill somebody.
You're getting a car crash, and it's nice taking this away feeling kind of just like submit yourself to the system.
It is the way I'll be delayed.
But there isn't really anything that I can do about it because I feel like when you're driving, you're just like constantly agreeing other people over, like making you a time bit slower.
I also think it's nice that the subway is like a great equalizer of people, especially in like the summer when it's super super Hans, sweaty and like.
You'll see people who work on Wall Street who makes six figures.
You'll see people who work in a coffee shop.
You'll see moms and their kids like everybody is on the subway together, just going through the same shit and I'm no, I like that.
It is a lot less isolating than just driving by yourself for hours every day.
The architecture is not quite as beautiful as London, but it still is pretty fucking banging.
I love just being surrounded by tall buildings.
I feel like they are one giant weighted blanket.
It's comforting to just be surrounded by things that are larger than you.
It makes me feel really tiny, and I also love walking down in New York Street and seeing so many different people.
It's just a lovely reminder that I don't matter that much.
And also that there other people who have problems that are bigger than mine or different from mine or her going through the same thing, isn't he?
And they're walking down that Stane Street just going on with their day.
I was talking.
Thio told me about the things that she likes about New York, and she was saying like that is one of her favorite things, that when she's really in her head or really feeling down that she could just walk down her block and she'll feel better again because she sees all of these different people and it really like grounds you as a human being.
I love the street style So much just New York fashion gets me.
Speaking of fashion, obviously, New York is a huge powerhouse of the fashion industry.
And were I to start a clothing brand, I think it would be very, very good place to start If I ever did want to go back to school or get a day job.
I think it would also be a great place to learn more about fashion or marketing.
My two big cons for New York are first of all, the cost of rent.
It's Dad.
Yeah, it's really expensive.
My second call in for New York is that the culture can be a little bit extremly workaholic slash classist.
New York is probably like the hustle capital of the world because the rent is so high and the city is so dense.
People are just working all the fucking time.
It can be a very like success numbers.
How big is my bonus driven type of culture, which I don't necessarily buy with?
I think that there are pros to that and that I'm young.
I want to build something for myself.
and it'll motivate me to work really hard.
But New York was honestly like the first place I had ever seen somebody talk about their salary or like talk about the company they were at as if it was like a prestigious college, that they've gotten into that kind of rub me the wrong way because I don't like it.
When people define themselves by institutions, they work out or by like the numbers in their bank account, you know.
But obviously that is just like one segment of New York, and it's definitely a part of the culture that I could avoid surrounding myself with the right people.
So that all brings me to my final decision.
So basically, how he made this choice was I was sitting on the train and I was journaling for, like, two hours trying to talk through all of my thoughts about should I moved to London?
Should I really start over new?
Should I have a completely different experience?
Should I move to New York where it feels a little bit more like home with my friends and people that I know and really like hustle to build something?
And I was stuck between the two.
I could not decide.
So I got 1/4 and I promised myself that if it landed on heads, I would move to New York and I landed on tails.
I would move to London.
I flipped the quarter right there on the train and it was one of those things were like in the split second.
Before you look at where the quarter lands, you already know in your heart what you wanted to land on.
And for me, that was New York, baby, I'm moving to you Also, the quarter landed on head.
So technically, I am not breaking any rules here.
I still want to live in London at some point in my life.
I really do love the culture there, but I think the next step for me being young and wanting to build a business and also just like wanting to have some slutty fun times in New York, I think that New York is the right city for me.
I think it's like don't metaphor that my life is like a train.
At first, when I was younger, I thought that the train was always going to lead me to a destination, and that was gonna be like my end game When I had a family and I had a house and I had a career.
And now I think of it in terms of I don't fucking know where the train goes, Go in.
I don't know if it ever stops, but in the meantime, I'm just getting off here and they're enjoying a chapter of my life and then getting back on the train and go into the next place.
So for now, New York is the next place.
But who knows what's gonna be next?
Yeah, that was a cheesy metaphor.
I'm just so seated.
D'oh!
I don't know, make a change and hopefully make my life better.
Yeah, I'm moving.
I'm moving so soon.
And right now I know.
I'm gonna comment about it.
I am editing my apartment makeover, so hopefully that's gonna be out next week.
I promise you guys that I will finish it before I moved.
I'm have to, like, sell my car.
I have to book my tickets to New York.
I have apartment hunt, so there's a lot going on right now, but I'm just, like, excited for all of it.
Of course.
I wanted to say thank you for you guys for supporting me through kind of a weird time the past couple months.
Honestly, I think ever since I graduated, I've just been, like in a funk.
Thank you for your constructive criticism where you have given it.
Thank you for your support of comments When you've given those as well, I will see you guys next week.
