Because Michigan is sometimes boring

It hasn’t been easy transitioning from a life of college classes followed by a week in New York City and then back to normalcy in Michigan. The fact I finished college is a good thing, don’t get me wrong. I imagine my parents will be able to rest easier at night knowing their daughter won’t be in college until the end of time. And, I must admit, life might be easier without exams, or papers to consider. I don’t have my life plans mapped out at the moment, so please don’t ask, but I imagine this will become clearer with time.

I have been keeping an eye on possible apartment openings in Manhattan. Please note: I am not looking to permanently move there. However, a summer in the city might be what I need. Already I had plans to visit my sister again over the summer but then I thought, “Why not just stay for a month? Or why not make it two or three?” At that point it would be easier to have a room of my own. And so, the search is on. I would love to live in Chelsea or Soho but will settle for other locals as long as I’m in Manhattan. And in the meantime I would sublet my room in my Michigan apartment. I would also work a summer job in the city, just to make sure I have enough money to pay my bills.

Of course, everything is still very much so up in the air and I may just be suffering from The Grass is Always Greener Syndrome. Is there a cure for those experiencing this? I think not.

New York City, I miss you.
