I’m celebrating my four-year anniversary of living in Chicago.
This year, I’m turning into an adult—a real person, with real responsibilities. I bought a condo. I water my plants. I’ve run two half-marathons.
But it wasn’t always this way.
Four years ago, when I moved here, I had no idea what I was doing. I had no job, no friends (OK, OK, maybe one or two), no money, no food, nowhere to live—nothing.
But it’s amazing that over time, all those “no’s” have turned into “yes’s.”
Now, it’s my sister’s turn to make some “yes’s” of her own.
She graduated from college last May. After realizing that living with mom and dad isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be, she’s moving to Austin, Texas this week with a friend of hers from college.
She keeps asking me for advice on how she should be living her life.
How do I buy a car? How much should I spend on rent? How do I get a job? How long should I boil water to make spaghetti?
Millennials face an endless amount of questions when they first start out. Unfortunately, I don’t have an endless amount of answers.
But maybe you do. Readers: what advice would you give to my sister?
