Hot-lanta

This past weekend we took a quick trip to Atlanta, or HOT-lanta. It was a jam packed 24 hours but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We arrived to our hotel, a Microtel, at 1 a.m. to find it surrounded by 3 strip clubs and numerous bars. One in particular, The Pink Pony, was jammin. We might not have picked the best area of ton to stay in, but we got a taste of the culture and culture is never bad. After a quick 7 hour slumber we were up and out the door. The reason for this short trip was to visit a grad school open house. We spent our morning at The Creative Circus, a well known school for the arts.

        

We then channeled our inner tourist and explored downtown. Centennial Olympic Park sits right in the thick of downtown and is surrounded by skyline. Our afternoon was spent learning about the “secret formula” and sampling Coca Cola products from all over the world at The World of Coca Cola. Some flavors were good, some were gross. Stay away from the Beverly flavor.

        

Later that evening we met up with an old college friend and indulged in the most delicious hamburgers in the south at The Vortex. The Vortex is in an eclectic area of Atlanta called Little Five Points, much like the Five Points area in Raleigh.

This entire trip costs each of us (there were 3) around $100. Here’s the breakdown.

Hotel: For 2 nights, $195/3 (we split the cost between the 3 of us) = $65

World of Coca Cola: $17

Food: Breakfast at hotel $0, lunch in downtown $8, dinner at The Vortex $15

GRAND TOTAL: $105 

 

 

A Quick Emoji Guide

We all know what emojis are.  We use them in daily conversation on our iPhones.  From the cute little smiley angel to a sharp bloody needle…am I right? Is that really a sharp bloody needle?

We use a variety of these little fellas when we’re feeling happy, sad, frustrated, bloated – you name it.  Here’s a little character conversion chart:

 I’m totally in love with what you are saying…or with the CoCo.

 Zah…it’s what’s for dinner.

 Can’t EVEN.

 HOLY CRAP IT IS TOTALLY NOT BIKINI SEASON ALREADY, IS IT?!

Studies show that the amount I care right now is plummeting. Business is bad.

 

 

 

I need to exercise right now but I’m trying to finish the new season of House of Cards and it must be watched all at once.

 

 

Happy Friday friends!

Welcome!

Welcome to Adultish, a resource for young twenty-somethings.  What you have stumbled upon is a lifestyle blog that touches on life, travel, food and humor.  It’s tough enough being thrown into the “real world” without a life jacket and we’re here to write about it every step of the way.

Older people look back at their twenties and become nostalgic.  “You have your whole life ahead of you,” and “Enjoy that fast metabolism while it lasts!” While being a young professional is full of opportunity, it can also be really intimidating. Just remember, we have so much time to figure out what we want in life, it’s OK to make mistakes.  Make those mistakes, learn from them, and move on.

Adultish is a product of two best friends both with mass communication degrees, laughing, stumbling and budgeting their way through the “real world.” Join us as we document the food we eat, the places we go and the laughs we have, all on a budget.
