nycchic24 Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Originally posted by joeg from where?how'd it go?do you regret it?(elaborate or something, cp is SUCKING today, content-wise) kinda told the story a couple times on here before, dindt want to bore ya. but here goes.... where from? i moved from boston. and besides going to school in florida (haha go gators) ihave lived there all my life. all my friends and family live there and i evn bought a condo a coupel years ago. but i lost my job right after xmas (company filed chapter 7) and there was just no jobs in my market ( work in merchandising) and most ocmpanies in new york wouldnt even look at my resume bc i didnt live in the tri state area! (even though i stated i woul dbe relocating myself) after much thought, i decided to take a gamble -- ditch my comfy life, and pakc up my stuff and move to new york. i calculated i should be able to live $$ wise between picking up a waitressing job and my unemployment checks.... i didnt have to wait long. also, i knew NO ONE when i moved here! the first month i was climibing walls bc i was used to going out like 2 or 3 times a week back in boston, and here i knew shit! unlike a lot of ppl who move here, i did not already have a circle of friends here how'd it go--- well i moved here on a sunday, had an interview on wednesday and they offered me the job the next day! not bad for your first week in the city. do i regret it? hell no. all my friends ask me (both here and in boston) what city i like better and if i will ever go back to boston. i am def happy wiht my choice and believe it was the best decisoin for me. otherwise it wouuld not have worked out the way it has. do i wanna go back? i miss my friends terribly, but i dont see myself moving back to bosotn for quite some time. anyways i see them often enough and now i have met some great new ppl here this past year!

JonStephen Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 I did that twice too technically...........First time to school in the middle of PA without ever visiting the campus or area before. You talk about a culture shock, there is NOTHING to do out there.Then my real move was here in the city. I just could not stand living in Rhode Island anymore. The summers are good but the other 9 months are terrible, plus the scene there is dead if not deader. I would have to do all sorts of traveling to the city and Boston just to chill where I wanted to with my peeps.I knew a handful of people out here and I had next to no money, so I had to literally start from scratch.

JonStephen Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Originally posted by joeg PA has a really crappy gyro scene... no, but seriously... how'd you manage moving out here with no money? I had like $500. One of my boys that I knew in RI that lives in Forrest Hills let me stay at his crib for a month and hooked me up with a job. Couldn't go back to doing what I was doing in the past. I had to finally grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 I did it for school too... lived on LI for my whole life and headed down to New Orleans without ever having been there before (lol, this seems to be a trend). Every now and then I think how great it would be to just vanish and start anew... but I'm not the kind of person who can just pick up and leave with a suitcase and start all over again... I've got too much tying me down here, for better or worse... Besides- running away doesn't solve anything... your problems have a tendency to follow you...
