Quick life update

Lots of stuff going on right now:

- As of yesterday I’m officially done with school forever. Hello, B.A. in journalism from Michigan State University!
- About a month ago I stepped down from my position as concert reviews editor for venuszine.com. I held down the live reviews section of the site for a year and a half (during which time I edited almost 300 concert reviews), and while it was an invaluable learning experience, I needed more time to focus on some other projects.
- For now I’m a full-time freelancer—or unemployed, but I think the former sounds a little bit better. I’m writing a lot for Billboard (most recently have done stories on Regina Spektor and Those Darlins), and have at least one other outlet in the works.
- I also started transcribing interviews for a couple of writers, which I hope will lead to more work in the future (from them or anyone else). If you need a transcription service, get in touch.
- I’m moving to Brooklyn in September! My wonderful friend/future roommate Grace and I are going to look at apartments July 31 to Aug. 5 and want to sign a year lease for Sept. 1. Any tips on apartment-hunting in New York?
- The obvious question after this is: Do you have a job lined up? The answer is no—at least not yet. More than likely, I’ll be freelancing and working part-time for a while (and I’m absolutely OK with that idea), but nothing is for sure.

So, the next two months will consist of lots of cleaning, packing, planning, Craigslist-ing, writing, spending time with family, and having perhaps way too much fun with my best friends while I can. Happy summer!
