๐ decent living situation โ awful roommates, deadbeat landlords, or psycho neighbors will make you super miserable so try to get this one locked down!
๐ซ homies โ making new friends can take a long time, but if you commit to putting yourself out there over and over youโll connect with some truly inspiring and amazing people
๐ค income (even a little) โ yes you can get by on dumplings, no Ubers, no bars, etc. but being broke here feels particularly like a prison because most things are stupid expensive. Be on your grind and then blissfully spend it all away
If you end up getting all 3 of these youโre probably gonna be hopelessly addicted to being here just like me. Welcome to NYC :)
