move to los angeles

It might sound totally cliche, but moving to Los Angeles has always been my dream. Since I was three, when I met my best friend, I would always do little skits with my friend. Sixteen years later it is still what we want to do. I am finishing my college years and double majoring in English and Theatre. I am also working full time and I hope to save around 30,000 to take with me on this adventure. Since I am also near Chicago I am going to work on myself and hopefully land an agent over here. There are many negative people in this world and that surround me, but I will not alter my aspirations. I will make it to Los Angeles and someday I will be very happy and out of this small, useless city.

I’m trying to decide where to visit when my fiance and I scope LA out in March. These are places that are topping my list.

But I know I can. And I will. I’m so nervous. The last time I moved to a big city I fell hard, and it left my confidence shattered. I can’t afford to fail again. Feeling kind of blue about it this evening.

I live in Ny and I lost my job, I have no degree so I was going to go back to school. I got really depressed then it hit me…I shouldn’t take this as the end of the world but a chance to start new. At first it was like I died…But now its like I have been reborn! I have always waned to live in LA… I am also a singer/songwriter/entertainer…. So I’m just going to do it! My cousin and another friend of mine feel the same way. So we are just going to do it together! Even if they decide not to… I am still going. So my plan is to go to school down there, find a job and pursue my dreams. Only problem is I don’t know anyone in LA and I know the job market is like F’d up. I have no idea how to go about it… I have about 6,000 in savings which was going to me buying a used car…That was he plan before I came up with this bright idea! Lol I don’t know where to start but I’ll figure out….Because I already know where it’s gonna end…in LA! Here I come!

Some day I’ll do it, I’ll be in LA! :D it’s going to be difficult (me living in Europe and all) but I’m sure I can do it

End of April, 2010. I know it SOUNDS a long way off, and it is.But I’m fine with that. I rushed into it way too soon last time. This time I want to be prepared, financially and mentally. And I want to have experienced life here a bit more first.
It’s a first step!

okay. for a while now I have been contemplating just getting up and moving to LA. i am a aspiring actress, but i don’t plan on going to LA and begin to get jobs left and right. I am a realistic person. i am here in Philadelphia miserable as hell and just wanna LEAVE. i want to move to LA and kinds just “start over”. im 16 and currently not in school so that helps me none. i will be 17 in a minute so peeps don’t freak out. i think i can do it. i wanna find a job waitressing or something and start to begin my career. PLEASE no negative comments. tips and encouragement would be so nice.

i’m 18…i want to move to los angeles from greece but i’ll be all alone there….with no money…..could anyone give an advice or some information…??

Right now, I’ve got a fairly decent setup here in Missouri, but it doesn’t change the fact that I no longer have a reason for living here, and the living-here part is godawful. I was married, then divorced, then, er, stranded. Having been born and raised and carried out much of my adulthood in L.A., I know where to live and where not to; and I also know that it’s a risk. Believe me (from personal experience) that you do not want to go live in Southern Califnoria on little money. If I had a fairly hefty amount of money, it wouldn’t be a problem. But I don’t have that. Weighing the pros and cons of moving versus staying here is getting frustrating as hell. Equally frustrating is hunting online for inexpsensive apartments in the area. But worse than that is being around here, sort of rotting on the vine. Existing rather than really Living. It’s all about the startup.

Well my plans to move are going well I think (even though I’m still stuck up here in Seattle). I’m in talks with my brother regarding the mortgage on our family’s current house and I’m finally going to become a citizen mid this month so there’s nothing else that’s really tying me here to stay (other than my immediate family).

I’m glad I logged in here as reading other peoples stories on their moves gives me that inspiration that slowly tends to fade into the background when I continue on with my regular daily routine (which is what has kept me here longer than I like).
