Bacon and Tacos: Two of my favorite foods. I'm Bryan, a 22 y/o student/musician from Upstate NY sharing his daily adventures (no matter how boring they may be). I've decided to write about my emotions, happenings, and thoughts. This summer I hope to be in NYC, living the life I've always wanted. Here are the events leading up to that eventual day.

Sorry For All These City/Move/Post-Graduate Related Blogs
I’m exhausted, but my brain won’t slow down and let me sleep. I’m ridiculously nervous. I’m MOVING tomorrow to be out on my own. I’ve been waiting for this day for years, but now that it’s here…I just need to get through tonight. Once I am on the train, I will be confident again. There are so many great things waiting for me, and there are only 9 hours until I am out of Amsterdam.
Don Draper and I are gaining some similarities. He works at an advertising firm in Midtown. I will be working at an advertising firm in Midtown. He enjoys drinking during the day. I also enjoy drinking during the day. We happen to have similar hairstyles as well. The main differences are I don’t smoke, and don’t cheat on significant others. I’m ok with this.
Counting The Days!
I found an apartment. The amount of luck I’ve experienced in these past few weeks has been incredible. I’m making the big move in just a few days. Sunday is the big day…my brain won’t turn off because of all the tasks I need to complete beforehand. It’s the little things that drive me crazy, like what time I should leave, and whether I should take a bus or train. I need to figure out what clothes are necessary, and remember that I can return home for more later on. I want to pack my dog, but she doesn’t like being stuffed into a suitcase.
Now What?
It’s been a couple of months since I’ve shown any sort of activity on Tumblr. A lot has happened during that time. Just yesterday I donned a cap and gown, walking across a stage in 80+ degree weather to receive a piece of paper symbolizing the Business degree that will be mailed to me in July. I am done with college, and I have the awkward tan/burn on my forehead (from my cap) to prove it. It hasn’t hit me yet. The fact that I will never see some of my closest friends again is being pushed aside by my newest adventure.
I accomplished what I set out to do. My Tumblr was meant to serve as a sort of progress journal, leading up to a goal. There is a brief description on the side of my blog that reads: “This summer I hope to be in NYC, living the life I’ve always wanted. Here are the events leading up to that eventual day.” I somehow managed to get a job offer in the city, and will be starting my career next week. I reached my goal. I’m still having a hard time believing it, to be completely honest. Although I am a highly motivated individual, I am also realistic, and had my doubts. But I went against the odds, and found a full-time job before graduation, in NYC of all places!
Now I have a week left to find an apartment, before starting a new life. Now I have reached a goal I’ve had set for the past year or more. Now what?
