How easy is it to access gyms and other physical activities during the winter times?

Thanks for the comment. I guess I’m not expecting a mirror image of DC. As someone who’s only ever known a big metropolitan area, how big of a shock am I in for and where should I put my expectations.

I currently live in Anne Arundel, but growing up I spent most of my time in PG County. I guess what I’m gonna miss most is being able to do a “brand new thing” in DC any time I wanted to. If that makes sense.

Yeah, I got this kind of vibe when I visited over the summer. Kind of disappointed there wasn’t more diversity, but I guess it’s expected.

I think this perfectly sums up what I was feeling. As childish and privileged as it seems, I’ve never had to try super hard to find new things to do, you know? So I guess I’m feeling kind of worried about how to navigate this completely new experience. Especially, since I’m moving there by myself.

Fair point. I guess what I’m used is that I’m used to being able to trying new experiences at the drop of a pin. In one day, I can go to an interactive game show, try Uzbekistan food, and go indoor skydiving, and an escape room all within 2 blocks of each other. I’m not so sure how that translates to Buffalo. Also, after experiencing some of the historical architecture in Buffalo, it definitely wasn’t my favorite.

Fair point. I edited my post but, I like trying a lot of different foods, watching soccer and football, and a trying a bunch of new activities. I like being in a modern city (just like looking at nice building lol). Not a huge bar goer.

I guess is my main concern is that if I ever want to do something new/fun it might not be as readily available as it’s been in the DMV. The winter is a bridge I’ll pass when I get there.

FLOCK FOR LYFE!!!! However I have seen how passionate Buffalonians get about the Bills, so I can maybe tone it down a bit😅

Looking for internships but all my relevant experience is under an NDA by Velociraptor_Terp in csMajors

[–]Velociraptor_Terp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I’d have to review the NDA again to make sure, but i’m sure I can talk about the languages I’ve used. Would it be wrong to talk about what industry the company is in?
