 Okay, y'all welcome back to my channel. My name is Sonali and this is my boyfriend Ryan and We have some really exciting news to share with you guys this has Sike, oh wait. Oh That's not even the right finger. That's I'm in the hand. We filmed this video like six weeks ago So the files got corrupted so I had to wait till you know I saw Ryan again because we were long distance in college I just graduated from UCF. He graduates from UGA on Friday So it's a very exciting time and even more exciting things to come. So let's just get on into it So our big announcement is where we are moving after college and just our general post grad plans Yeah, we're gonna do a little t-shirt reveal here. I have the city that we're moving to on the back of my t-shirt We are moving to Austin, Texas some of you guys have guessed it and I don't know how I feel like it's kind of like a random city like I feel like People she knows have like talked about it. Yeah social media and you guys must follow around everything. Well, or no I don't know how you guys know that's weird. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they're just good guessers I should talk about it actually in a vlog that we made. No, I did not we might move it I don't think I talked about it ever. No, I don't think so. So yes We are moving to Austin, Texas and we'll explain why so I feel like we were really set on just moving back home Moving back to a Georgia or Atlanta saving money. Yeah, saving money living at our parents house for like one to two years I even mentioned it in a past Q&A what exactly our plans were So I'll insert that here just because it's like funny to look back on how you think your plans are Yeah, and then shit just changes. What are your future plans after college? Um, I don't know What do I hear? Plan on being hired before I graduate. Hopefully somewhere for a tweet and then I'd like this Living home for about a year and save enough to the point where I can either have a down payment for our house But also just having my make-and-count or like I'm gonna kind of get some investing money Or I wouldn't want to move it with her until we had at least 30k in the bank. Yeah, so 16 combined total Right did that mean just in case they would be doing a buy a house if you could invest in it right now It's really good originally when it looked a bucket and like one of the high-rises there. Yeah, I'm job So basically I've been on a big job search for a while Just trying to like flood the market with my resume try to get any offers I can try to get hired before I graduated and She'd actually mentioned like we should move to Austin. It's like so trendy. It's so cool I'm like, how do you know but I guess just from my Instagram. She'd done this I got an email from my advisor basically from Oracle saying that they're looking for people to apply and interview So I was like asked like a hundred percent like if I apply and I get it Are we gonna move to Austin? Yeah, a hundred percent will do it definitely and I never thought I'd actually get the job I should apply just to get the experience for interviewing and experience just all around and Well, I ended up getting it and so we kind of had to choose between the major offices for Oracle are Boston Austin Santa Monica and Washington DC so rest in Virginia area and For like a short time, I guess I considered going to California and she just Went off the rails of it and I started like planning our whole life there I was like, you know, I don't even know if I have a job yet at this point Yeah, I was like so psyched when he said Santa Monica because like I knew it was his second choice But there was like a point of time where I think a guy that works in Santa Monica interviewed him for one of his rounds And so then he started like kind of like talking about it a little bit more and I have family and Irvine Ranchic pick of manga and just all over California So I thought it would be really cool to be in California. I'm plus I could not be away from my family I think all the way from Georgia to California I could I think it'd be so cool and California's the dream and there's just so much to do there And like yeah LA traffic's bad, but like super super expensive super expensive and basically that's a major reason why we chose Not to do the Santa Monica location Because it was like really unrealistic for like two college grads just up and moved to California not that I'm saying that No one can do it because I know People who have done it and they're like living their best life, but like I don't know It could have afforded it, but it would have been like a one bedroom Yeah, and we eat in every night. Yeah, and we don't really do anything other than go to the beach We like to do fun stuff. We like spending money like yeah I'm having more disposable income rather than just be in a certain place. I think yeah, honestly Austin's new It's kind of like far enough away from home that we're still Not close, but we get that adventure. Yeah, and it's a little cheaper. Yeah, it's still expensive. Don't you wrong? Yeah, right now. We're just gonna answer some other questions That I have been asked in a previous like Instagram story Q&A post thing first question is what did you both major in? I majored in radio television broadcasting generalists at UCF Now as a marketing major EGA and hit the broad track instead of just you can do Professional selling or digital marketing. I chose just to do general so I could get kind of both The next question is what do you think it's gonna be like living with each other? Because if you guys haven't watched our blogs previous to this video We were a long distance he went to UGA like he just said and I went to UCF in Florida So it was it was it was hard at times, but it was definitely it was definitely nice, you know Like I don't know it was nice to be able to do your own things And I know if I was like too close to him and like at the same college. I feel like I'd just be Around him way too much and I wouldn't be able to get like my stuff done So I think that's gonna be the hardest part of living with each other is just going from like Seeing each other maybe like three days out of one month to seeing each other every single day Almost 24-7. I think it'll be fun like we both get to go to work Hopefully, yeah, and then we can see each other after work. So it's not like we have homework anymore really Yeah, I don't have like projects to do and stuff like that. Yeah, so it'll be nice to have someone hang out with pretty lonely Yeah, so going in a state for college. I didn't know anyone when I went to UCF So I feel like it will definitely be a different experience actually knowing someone having someone to like go on adventures with And go out to eat. So I feel like it may be a little bit of an easier process Um But also I feel like college you have so many people that are around your age and like in your classes And like it's easier to make friends in that way So it's gonna be like bittersweet in every way, you know, just a piggyback and answer their question She already knows people there, too. Yeah, and I've heard everyone in Austin is around our age All young kind of like professionals and everyone trying to have a good time I think so it won't be that hard to make friends Just I hope yeah, I think it'll be like I had a networking event I met a few people that I know are gonna work with me and they're pretty nice and You know if I just meet up with them when I get there She knows people with the UCF. The next question is are you flying or driving to the new city? And are you taking your dog with you? So we are actually both driving our cars at the same time And I don't know I feel like we won't take a U-Haul because I could fit everything in my car from college to Georgia So I feel like I won't need one But I feel like my parents are gonna want to give me like a lot of stuff like kitchen and stuff that they have lying around or like You know just random miscellaneous stuff that I might need But maybe you will think about shipping all that stuff because I don't know if it's worth it to get a U-Haul What do you think? My mom is gonna come with us when we move She may drive a U-Haul with all the miscellaneous in it and She'll leave like way earlier than us because she drives really slow in a new U-Haul And I don't know what we're not flying once we get down there. We'll fly home. Yeah, hope you won't yeah Once you get down that we have to drive our cars. Yeah, we need our cars down there. And yes, Sophie is coming We're taking my dog, which is honestly technically Ryan's dog just because like Ryan and Sophie get a long way better than me and Sophie get along like I love Sophie But she does not reciprocate the love towards me, but Ryan and her like I swear they're in love So, yeah, we're taking Sophie down there and I'm excited because I've just heard like that Austin is a really dog-friendly city So it should be fun. So the next question is what do you both do for work and When I start for Oracle, I'll be a business development consultant. He's like the official name for it so it's basically just kind of like generating sales leads and Trying to get the county executives new sales meetings and get them in the door at different companies I actually don't have a job yet, but I'm actively searching for a job and please please please Message me email me if you guys have any connections in Austin in the media industry I'm looking to do like social media or content creation videography photography I just have so many things that I could be doing. I don't really know exactly the title that I want to do So literally anything in that realm if you guys know someone at Austin, please help me out because It's it's a it's a little harder than I thought honestly. I really thought it wasn't gonna be this hard But I feel like it might be easier being in the state and looking because I feel like media jobs are more for immediate hire And I want to be hired like end of June maybe like early July So and I've been in college this whole time in Orlando, Florida where Like I can't even be interviewed in Austin, you know, so like I've been applying but I don't know It's not really working out for me. So like I said, please message me on Instagram or email me My email will be in the description box below Yeah, add us on LinkedIn Always looking to connect with more people. Okay, the next one just says were you involved throughout college? What is the difference if you're not so basically I really wasn't that involved throughout college my senior year I joined AMA and see American Marketing Association And that's kind of just to get you connected with other marketing professionals and people who are already in the industry can get you kind of like inside you know tips and maybe job offers are not posting online just to make connections and I Mean, I definitely recommend doing that and getting as much involved as you can even though I didn't I definitely see how it benefited other people and going back. I kind of wish I would have done that I Was I would say really involved in college. I was in Greek life. I was in the sorority So sad to say I was because that was literally just a week ago that I like become became an alum But yeah, so I was in capital to I was the vice president of public relations for two years in my sorority And I was very very heavily involved with like social media doing the photography for like every event I did the recruitment video in the philanthropy video for like two years for my sorority And I was very heavily involved in Greek life. And then my last two years I started getting involved with my colleges social media teams So it was the UCF communications and marketing team that I was an intern for throughout all that I've met so many cool people And like he said, it's just pretty much all about networking when you get involved in college So I mean the more you get involved the more connections you have So so now that I have graduated and Ryan's graduating on Friday. It's the perfect time to answer this question What was the hardest thing about college? You start for me, I think Like University of Georgia's business school like Terry College of business is really like kind of rigorous and I think the workload for my pre record my pre rec classes was really hard Because it got more into my major. I was more interested in it So I think that it kind of eased up just because when something you like it's not that bad But overall the hardest part really is kind of managing your own time and Making sure you meet the deadlines that you have for all these classes have projects and have tests and stuff So try to like a lot your time like wisely try to like Just really like make sure you meet your deadlines while you're learning along the way Because you can you can cram the last minute, but you won't retain any of that and you don't really get that much from it You know, I think jobs aren't really looking to see if you like learn that much in college But about the content or more so how you became like professional and became an adult through it So I think yeah the hardest part just becoming an adult really like managing your time money Like relationships and whatnot. So going off with Ryan said I think that the hardest part of college for me was time management Because at first I had good time management, but I had to really perfect it and like I don't know I think I got a little insane because I would literally have my agenda to the like second like planned out It's a little insane But that's kind of how my mind works if it's not on my agenda for the day Like it's not happening and I forgot about it micromanager It does sound a little insane, but it really did help me out through college because I had so many different like jobs and Greek life and school and at first it was just kind of hard like organizing How am I going to remember everything that I need to do? You know write everything down honestly it helps so much. Yeah, even if it's in like your phone reminders So that's a wrap on this video I hope you guys are as excited as we are to move to Austin comment down below any video requests for Like moving blogs or like empty apartments or like anything like that Because I have some on a list, but I feel like I'm gonna forget some stuff So definitely if you guys have something specific you want comment down below and also if you guys have been awesome because We have not been Tips on where to eat where to go like what? Literally anything like yes, we're to live because that's something we didn't talk about we don't have an apartment yet We're gonna go there around June 1st and start looking so definitely help us out with some recommendations And I will see y'all in my next video. Bye
