Well, I’ve officially been living in Los Angeles for almost two months now, and it sure has been busy! My time since arriving in mid-May has been fun, difficult, surprising and a plethora of other descriptors. The fact that I’m only just now getting a chance to blog speaks to just how busy I’ve been, but it’s truly been a great experience thus far. I’ve somehow managed to balance work, school and fun — and I must say, I’m “adulting” pretty well! Keep reading to hear more about my transition to living in a big city and starting graduate school, and all the other experiences I’ve had along the way!

After graduating from The University of Alabama this past May, I made the decision to pursue a Master's of Science in Marketing degree at the University of Southern California. The program was set to start a whopping 2 weeks after my undergraduate graduation, so I had to get myself, most of my belongings and my car from Birmingham, Alabama to Los Angeles California -- and quick! Realizing that I probably wouldn't have a chance to take a cross country road trip anytime soon, I decided to make a real event of it. So, I grabbed a friend, packed my car and set out for Los Angeles with stops like Hot Springs, Arkansas and the Grand Canyon along the way!
