Lansing is Mediocre

You’d think that a place with a relatively prominent university, the capitol, and a pretty good hospital system would have more, but it has just parking, riots, and football.
How to move out of michigan
It made me
Glad to be gone! 
"I am so glad I left Michigan; I should have left sooner"
How I did it: I visited several cities before deciding on my new home. All I knew at the time was that I hated the snow, and wanted to get the heck out of Michigan! Once I finally settled on a new home, I began building my network there (before actually moving). I contacted employment recruiters, joined meetup groups, and reached out to family in the area. Once I was ready to move, I had already made some quality contacts in the area.
Lessons & tips: Eliminate as much junk as possible before moving. -When moving across state lines, most moving companies will charge you by the weight of your load (at least they did at the time I moved). So my motto while packing was "the more you take, the more you pay!" That made it pretty easy to eliminate the truly non-essential.
-Try to build your network in your new city before moving. This will help ease the transition for you.

Heading Out West

I used to like this place, but my life has been slowly going downhill. I’m packing my bags and leaving before this state goes bankrupt. I just have to get my bachelor’s degree at MSU.

still here… for another winter… it’s always so hard to move once the weather gets cold and bad. i really want to move away from this place and i feel that the only way to do it is with good planning. forbid i become one of those people who moves away and unsuccessfully moves back when it doesn’t work out.

Growing up in Western Michigan, I felt stifled and dreamed of living somewhere with more sunshine, more opportunities, and more open-mindedness (especially toward women). I moved away in ‘89 and have been MUCH happier in Houston. I still visit MI once a year, and I can (now) appreciate the things that make it special. Western Michigan has a lot of beauty and a lot of wonderful people… and it’s come a loooooong way since I left… but it’s just not “me”.

I finally made the move. I have yet to start my full life in Oklahoma but I’m feeling pretty good about it, and I figure if it doesn’t work out, I still have 48 states to try….
