Reader Question: Kristin
READER QUESTION from Kristin:
Q. I’m currently a college senior at XXX University studying journalism who is seeking advice. The exciting thing: I’ll have a degree in journalism this June with no obligations and this raging desire to experience/live in New York. The horrifying thing: I’m not exactly the richest of ladies, and trying to survive in New York on a post-graduate budget with the horrifying prospect of no jobs lined up (or only non-paying internships lined up) is really discouraging.
Do you have any advice on the first steps I should take?
A. Hi there Kristin! First, don’t worry. This is totally doable. Tough, but doable.
I painted my own!
When I first arrived, Trudy put these hand-painted stones down in front of me - all turned with the painted sides down - and told me to pick one.

I love nothing more than a nice taxi ride to the airport – it definitely starts your travels out on the right foot, and god knows I could use a little less travel-related drama – but if my flight is at any time other than 5AM, I can’t rationalize springing for the $50 (or so) tab.
Please…
…take me with you?
