How to Make and Keep Friends After Moving to a New City

This week, we’re covering a little bit of everything—because life in your 20s is nothing if not chaotic. From the LA fires and the TikTok ban (spoiler: it’s not actually banned) to a recap of this year’s best sounds and trends (anyone else obsessed with “How lucky I am to be…”?), we’re reliving the moments that made us laugh, cringe, and feel all the feels.

But let’s get real: moving to a new city can flip your life upside down, and I’m opening up about what it’s been like two years after taking the leap. I’m sharing the good, the bad, and the awkward—how to actually make friends in a new city (hint: do it while doing something you already love), why putting in the effort early pays off, and how long it really takes for a new place to feel like home. Spoiler: it’s somewhere between casually crashing on your friend’s couch in sweats and finally having inside jokes with your crew.
