General Looming Dread: Graduation Edition

Graduation is coming up in a few months and it's giving me a sort of pensive fear that maybe things won't be that great once everyone I've been around the past four years leaves.

There's still the 2 discord groups I'm in from Melbourne / High School and I'm sure we'll have a college discord group set up after graduation, but it can't possibly be the same.

In job news: recently accepted a position at Freedom Scientific up in St. Pete / Clearwater FL, across a bridge from Tampa. The company seems great and I'll probably enjoy working there but I'm scared of St. Pete.

From my limited time there, it seems like there's really no urban walkable areas, so anything is going to be a drive and there's a lot of highways. Im trying to be optimistic because it really might be fine but I'm worried it will be isolating, especially since I'll be going there knowing exactly nobody. How do people meet people outside of schools?

On the upside: in Atlanta for the next few days, having a good time, & looking for things to do!
