Moved to Boston on the last of my loans

At this point, I was out of time on my lease in Michigan with not one call back from any of the jobs I applied to over the past several months. I had a competitive portfolio, but I graduated in one of the worst job markets in years.

So I took the last bits of my maxed out student loans, picked a sublet out on Craigslist sight unseen with some roommates who seemed alright, drove my junker car out with everything I owned and a very grumpy cat to Boston, and hoped for the best. I figured I could make it through the summer.
