Hello to my mom and the six friends who will probably read this. Your (least) favorite blogger is back and better than ever. And by that I mean I moved away from home once again and I have nothing better to do than write about my not-very-exciting life in hopes that it keeps you mildly entertained for at least three to five minutes.
To get this lil blog rolling, I figured I’d answer some questions people keep asking me. I assume everyone who knows me cares deeply about what’s going on in my life, and I’d like to keep up that (false) pretense for as long as possible. Thanks.
Q: Wait so you have a real job? How? Why? What?
A: Every time I explain my job I’m less sure I explained it correctly. I’ll be working full time as a media associate at the company I interned for last summer. Vague job title, I know. Basically, we choose where ads go to make sure they reach the biggest portion of our target audience. If that made no sense to you, please wait 4-6 weeks to contact me with further inquiries. I haven’t actually started work yet, so I’ll get back to you once I have a more solid explanation of the job.
Q: Where do you live?
A: A fifth-floor walk up on the Upper East Side. Xoxo, Gossip Girl.
Q: Who do you live with?
A: Literally two strangers I found on the internet. I mean, I found them through my sorority’s NYC alumnae chapter and we all get along well, but they technically are strangers from the internet. All those elementary school lessons about stranger danger have been tossed out the window.
Q: Where do you, like, buy groceries?
A: Whole Foods if I’m feeling fancy. Trader Joe’s if I want to travel 40 minutes for good produce. The bodega across the street if I’m lazy and just want popcorn.
Q: What do you do in New York?
A: Sit in front of my window AC and write this blog while eating frozen mangoes. Sing at a moderate volume when my roommates aren’t home. Go to musicals.
Q: How can you afford to see musicals?
A: I can’t.
Q: Are you going to be on Broadway?
A: Obviously. As soon as Meredith and I write our next hit musical, starring me.
Q: Can I come visit?
A: Depends how much I like you. But in theory, there’s room for an air mattress in my room. I hope. I already bought it, I’ll let you know.
Q: How long will you live in New York?
A: Until I move somewhere else.
Q: Are you dating anyone? Are you going to get married in New York? Are you going to have your children there? What will their names be??!?!?!?!?
A: Leave me alone.
Thank you for reading my 10 most-asked questions of the month. Feel free to reach out via text, email, LinkedIn message or carrier pigeon with any further questions, and I’ll try to respond within two to five business days.
Stay tuned to hear more about my apartment, job and life here sometime within the next week, month or year. Bye?
