This probably sounds frivolous and naive, but it’s been honestly on my mind since I visited last October. I’ve been wanting to visit London since I was like 12, and I honestly fell in love with it. I’m an 18 yo girl and for all that going to uni still (and a few more years to go).

I often joke about moving there, my dad even has a colleague who lives there. My parents are oddly supportive, like “why don’t you?”. It’s so tempting, I loved London. Maybe I love people too much, and I’ll get sick of it. But the way I saw it was that people were just in a hurry, if you stand gawking someone will get mad at you lol. The architecture is what struck me the most though, I think. My mother grew up in Rome, like, downtown Rome. She told me she never got sick of seeing sights all day, and I honestly think the same.

But my question is how? People are always talking about the job market, and perhaps my major doesn’t benefit me? Im a physics major, working on my BS. I would think most jobs are in a business, marketing or law territory. Ig I’m asking how do I survive here? Is there any hope for me lol? Are there other people who are able to afford homes in a similar field of work? Do I js find a bf who lives there already? (insane I know). I know homes are ridiculously pricy there (as in most big cities). Sorry about the long post, I just genuinely feel silly and helpless with this!

If you were in a similar (in any way) situation as me, and managed to move to London, how did you go about it?
