Small Town Girl-Surviving the City
Just a small town girl, living in a… exciting, expensive, and unpredictable world.

Hello,
My name is Bailey Vonnegut I grew up in Islamorada which is a little island located in the Florida Keys. When I was ten years old we moved to yet another small town in the mountains of North Carolina. All I’ve ever known is a community of familiar faces, weekly traditions, and like minded individuals.. that is until now. I’m currently in the Queen City. Where i’m earning a degree in communications and a minor in journalism at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
I’ve officially given up the small town life. Instead i’m learning what it takes to survive on a college budget, appreciating diversity, my favorite exploring foods that light my tastebuds on fire. Learning tricks to stay fit in a place that challenges you to be anything but, Making my student housing feel like a home, and finding new ways to keep my long distance relationship as hot as I found it this summer.
However my blog is not just for all those small town girls out there just trying to make it in the city. This blog is for any guys as well. For people who want to know little tricks to not only survive this place but conquer it. My focus is on researching and figuring out new ways to keep a positive outlook in a place that can constantly test your patients. Most importantly I want to share an outlook that allows the city to feel like home.
I can’t tell you i’ve figured out exactly how to stop missing my little island filled with free spirits and salty air. That I don’t think about the sunsets that would lite the mountains on fire. However i’m learning new ways to make sure i’ll miss my new home in the city & hope to help you make memories worth remembering along your journey.
