I’m hoping to get a part time serving or host position but I only have retail and some corporate experience. Does anyone know of restaurants close to downtown that train you on the job? Not fast food ideally.
I wouldn’t consider myself religious but I just moved to Austin and someone suggested I go to a Sunday service to make friends and feel like I’m part of a community.
I’m a 22-year-old woman and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for churches or services that tend to attract young people. Also welcoming to “beginners” lol. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have a job offer lined up but I don’t start for another 3 months. I’m new to Austin and looking to make some cash and meet people in the meantime. Can anyone recommend some chill places to work that might be a good way to fill that gap?
I have retail experience but I’m open to trying other things. Thanks!
I’m a 22 year old woman, I just moved to Austin. I live alone in an apartment building that has primarily older residents and I work for myself so not a lot of opportunities to meet people there.
I’d love to get involved in some activities where I can meet other people my age (guys and girls) and would appreciate any recs! I love hiking and walking (I’m trying to get back into running lol) but I’m really down for anything.
I recently bought a bike and would take it on some longer rides, nothing crazy just like 15-20 miles. Does anyone have suggestions for where to ride? I’ve tried around lady bird lake but there are just so many pedestrians.
I recently graduated from college and moved to a new city by myself. I live in a really nice apartment and I’m genuinely grateful for everything I have, but lately I’ve been feeling surprisingly isolated.
Part of it is that I feel very different from a lot of people my age. Many of my peers are dealing with financial stress, living with roommates, or working their way up from difficult circumstances, while I’ve had a lot of support from my family. I know how fortunate I am, but instead of feeling comfortable with that, I often feel guilty and out of place. I worry that people will see me as spoiled, out of touch, or someone who has been handed everything. The difficult part is that I sometimes judge myself that way too. Even when I’ve worked hard for things, it’s hard for me to separate my own efforts from the advantages I’ve been given.
I obviously don’t want sympathy for being fortunate. I’m grateful for my circumstances. I just feel a lot of shame around them, and it’s making it harder to connect with people because I’m afraid of how they’ll perceive me if they know the truth about my situation.
Has anyone else struggled with feeling undeserving of their opportunities or feeling disconnected from peers because of a different financial background? How did you deal with it?
