Subscribe - Hello! My name is Amy and I post videos about my post-grad life managing the balance of working a 9-5 corporate job as a graphic designer in Washington, DC while being a youtuber. I love to create videos about my lifestyle, minimalism, travel, try on hauls, fitness videos & much more! Subscribe for two videos a week- bit.ly/2rtzVjd
This video, as a whole, was great😂 would love to see a part 2!
ahh okay yay!!
That’s such a cool perspective on dating I haven’t heard yet! Loved this video
hahahaha tough times out here
would love to see a part 2!! this made me so excited to hopefully live in DC someday!!
ahh I love that
i always wait for your video on sundays and sometimes get upset that it doesn't appear in my subscriptions lol. but your videos are always always always always worth the extra day
ahh thank you, this is so sweet! i was just super behind with my 9-5 job haha
Born and raised in the DMV, I’m glad you like the area but I’m really happy I moved away. But love visiting my friends and family once and a while. Thanks for sharing ❤️
🤍🤍🤍
Would totally love to go to the brunch meet up! I grew up in NoVa and am moving back to the area in October. You were also one of the youtubers that influenced me to start my own channel 💛
ahh thank you!
The brunch meetup idea sounds so fun! Would definitely love to go. 😊Also your description of the current leadership is a mood hahaha hoping the election brings much needed change. 😂
yay!!! im so excited for it whenever it is
Happy Monday, Amy!❤️
happy monday!
You too!
I love DC too. I liked your answer to how to explore the city without going crazy. I have to budget myself but I just want to be able to see and experience everything in this city (during normal times I mean).
the best city!!!
A meet up would be sick. That brunch idea is so cute!!
ahh yes, i cant wait
I grew up in the DMV but have since moved back to LA and would literally fly across the country for a meet up with you! Your channel is so relaxing and I loooove the content!
Also cheeto crusty ass is the most accurate description that I've heard LOL 💀
omg stop thats so nice hahaha
Yes please on the part 2!
okay!!!
I asked about the meetup!! yay! and I live in columbia heights i love it:)
ahh so cool
A meet up would be so fun!
I’d love to do one when it’s safe!!!
"Cheeto crusty ass" lmao had me dying!! Hahaha
lmaoooooo
So true about being present on the internet. A great approach to it. I also focus on the people close to me rather than all the comments that come in. Focus on what I can control 😊😁
true!!
The politically safe question did not age well at all lmao-- but thanks for the info!! I'm looking into moving to DC for grad school and this was super helpful and informational!! :)
FMLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
@@amyrauch LMAO
im a college senior in dc and a brunch meetup would be so fun!
ahhh i hope we can
I'm considering moving to DC next year for grad school, but don't really know if I'll like it (I live in Berlin now for comparsion). Thanks for your perspectives!
ahh super exciting!
This is helpful advice!
im so glad!
I'm in the DMV and would love if you hosted a meetup!
ahh good to know!!! would love to meet ya!
Hi Amy, I like your content. I love watching your videos.
thank you!
Please host a meet up! I’d love to meet you, you’re easily one of the most genuine people ever! ❤️🥺
whenever it’s safe!!!
Amy hiii :) Love watching these types of videos - I’m always curious to see how similar or different life is! I always get a little jealous, getting around is so much easier in America in comparison to South Africa - definitely from an ease and safety point of view :)
How cool would your meet up have been!? Would you consider like a virtual/zoom vibe? Like Afternoons with Amy, especially for us who are in different areas or out of country. We can all join with a coffee, chat and hopefully see Leo!
Have a great week! :D
ooooh good idea!!!
I feel so special to have made the thumb nail!
hahahaha yay!!! thank you for asking
Would be so excited if you did a meet up ! You could do one at Proper 21 😊
Metro stops I don’t recommend late at night by yourself: Anacostia and GreenBelt
Safe Metro stops late at night I recommend: silver line heading west passing through DC, orange line & blue line.
good idea, ill look into it!
Dating in DC or just covid: I’ve never had to give so much consent for something as simple as a hug before
HAHA hugs are a lot rn!!!!!!!
Recommend DuPont!
great area!!!
Hi amy! You are so sweet! ❤
thank you!
Can you post a work morning routine?
it’s suuuuuper basic but yes!
I’m currently staying in north west DC. I was told this is the nice area of DC. I hate it. I can’t wait to leave in 7 weeks
Moving to DC in January so this was SO helpful!
yay!!! you’ll love it
Agree about Dupont. Do not recommend Noma, lots of shootings in the area. Navy Yard is safe and great
there are shootings in basically every neighborhood in dc lol, theres good and bad streets everywhere!!
@@amyrauch Even DuPont? I think my next place is going to be out there.
I am from inner-city Detroit and felt NoMa was worse than my neighborhood back home. I really don't see why anyone in their right mind would choose to live there unless they did not know any better (like me). Could hear bullets multiple times a month from my apartment in a gentrified part of the neighborhood (Which often resulted in deaths). I would advise anyone to stay out of that shit part of the city.
I've also felt very unsafe in noma. of course bad things happen anywhere, but there are significantly fewer shootings and muggings in Dupont than in noma. the crime stats are all publicly available online. However dupont is usually more expensive than noma so I get that's not an option for everyone.
Cheeto crusty ass 😂💀
its true tho
Amy Rauch it’s honestly not strong enough of a term tho 😂
ur right, had to keep it semi ad friendly
Omgg I was laughing so hard at this too lmaoo 🤣🤣
hi from hill east :-)
hi 👋🏼
probably an unpopular opinion: I hated living in dc. the people I met were not nice, and were not interested in getting to know people not working in politics. this was just my personal experience, but I had a terrible two years and finally left
Any chance you went to GW?
i went to elon!
i live an hour away from DC and i think it's my favorite American city! if i don't end up living in europe next year i hope to move to DC :) also i would SOOOO come to the brunch meet up!!!
yes!!! would love to meet you
2 seconds in and I already have a crush on her lmao
hahahahhahaha
I’m hoping the dating environment changes for the better once agent orange is out
Cheeto crusty ass... spot on! 😂🤣
hahahahahha
Hi Amy ... I didn't see today your lovely cat !! :( :(
LOL there were so many outtakes of him being entirely in the way
@@amyrauch LOL, I hope to see him on your next vlog ... is soo cute ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Amy
omg I didn’t think my question would actually make the vid! I too am very tired of that crusty cheeto!
HAHA
Washington DC is a great place to be for career minded people and not so bad for foodies either. Navy Yard is prime but Columbia Heights is a high crime area.
i love living here!
Watching your video for advice since I have a possible job opening in our nation's capital. It's hilarious to hear you talk about how secure the capital/capitol is before we witness some infamous events unfold 3 months later. Hope you're doing well
DC dating: it’s a great place for women to find a gay best friend
Hello I don't like Instagram . its basicly fb reformed. I fell into ur video from the single mom an Asian woman Wear shorts
I've never thought about living in DC until now... maybe in the future post-grad.
its the best!!!
"Is it going to get worse between November 3rd and January 21st?" welp that got answered haha
Yeah I’m from dc too
Specifically from the ghetto parts
Yeah maybe we shouldn’t meet up if you don’t want to get culture shock
😯😯😯😯 you are very beautiful 💕
thank you!
Lmao Cheeto crusty ass... the fatigue is real
I’m tired of that Cheeto Crusty Ass, too 😩
lmao preach
1:15-25: You voice sound like you are reading from a list of people that died on a ship.
oh?
@@amyrauch Yes, but the rest is a pleasant sound. Just that part. Good video. :P
