Summary
Welcome to the real world! It sucks! You're gonna love it. In the first advice column episode of the season, Lily answers your top five FAQs about adulthood. She covers items like juggling healthy habits with a 40+ hour work week, job searching + rejection, decorating a rented place and housekeeping, creating a realistic budget, and making friends in a new city. And although she's no seasoned veteran, Lily does have a tip or a trick that she can toss your way.
As always, she shares her highs and lows from the past week. In this episode, the segment includes a recap of a weekend trip to NYC with her sisters as her high, but expresses her recent feelings of stress, exhaustion, and burnout - yep, she goes there - as her low. Additionally, Lily chats about the importance of building a personal and professional brand online, and why she's prioritizing another social media platform, LinkedIn.
