D.C.

I went to visit my friend in D.C. this weekend. She just graduated Loyola in the spring and moved down there shortly after because luckily she got a job. Through my observations I concluded that D.C. is a post grad's dream. It's swarming with young twenty-somethings; much like the typical Loyola student, they're quite preppy and, from my experience, a lot of fun.

The road that leads from Bethesda, Maryland into D.C. is called Wisconsin Ave. This strip supports high end shops and trendy resturants. Although I didn't really get into the heart of D.C. during my visit, from what I did encounter seemed a lot different from NYC due to one small fact: trees. I was surprised at the upkeep of D.C.'s plant life, it's not as concrete as New York.

On this trip I realized that life after college is not to be dreaded. I also think that I'd like to consider my options in D.C. for work after I graduate; Before I only really thought about New York because I'm familiar with it. But from what I saw, I like the looks of our nation's capital.
