My plan of living here is to be able to move to Manhattan at least by February/March. I figured by then I would have enough saved up for 3 months rent and some extra money in the bank for security. Then I had to factor in my student loan amounts, ok fine, I can swing that. Then I had to factor in living expenses- utilities, food, transportation, things that just come up. After adding all these up, I came to the conclusion that I need a second job. How I will figure this puzzle out is still up in the air, but I have to do it. Who knows, maybe I will be sick of the city by then and want to move back to Atlanta, or to the beach and work at a bar (which I have always wanted to do), or who knows, but I will make bank. There is no option not to. I am not going to work this hard to succeed.
Something I have noticed about myself in the past few weeks, I am not ok just being in the middle. This quality I know comes straight from my parents, but I never thought it dwelled in me. My brother has always had the will and desire to make as much money, where as I was concerned with making enough to be ok and spend it right away. But now- in my life, being in the middle (for me) is just not where I want to be. The top of where ever I am, whatever industry or challenge is going to be my spot. Just gotta get there. But mission one: Student loans gotta go. I knew going to a college out of state came with a price. My parents sat me down and explained this to me multiple times, but not until you actually graduate does it set in. I do not regret them for one second, because Indiana was amazing- but now is the fun part, where I take everything I used those loans for to pay them off. Just another challenge.
Peace, Love and Salle Mae,

Yo, Yo, Yo..Students who finish college need to get lost like you. WANDER about girl. Take in all the good and the bad. In such a big bad world opportunities are there for you. I dont mind middle and all the people I encounter along the way. Lack of money sucks but if you can learn from people like your parents, then you can bring yourself to make the right decision for yourself. You will never be a failure as long as you make a decision. I love Orlando, Cindi and I tried Colorado for 2years but we started to feel closed in. Parents to the rescue. They welcomed us with open arms. Fifteen years later here we in Florida and I wouldnt want to be any where else. So if you are truely home sick, then you must love where you came from..ATL..so dont rush back but dont feel bad if you do. Jesus, you have only mentioned ATL almost every Blog. NY is big and fast and rich very rich
