Irini "Rini" Brom graduated from Centre College in Danville Kentucky (no, you haven't heard of it) in May of 2015. After Graduation, Rini moved 2,000 miles away from her college town to begin her career at an investment banking firm in Las Vegas. After looking up and realizing that she had survived her first year as a post-grad with minimal damage, Rini decided to write a "how to" book (or maybe more accurately, "what not to do" book) about making it on your own once your home of 4 years kicks you out into the real world with only a mountain of debt and a diploma to keep you company. Rini hopes that this is the first in a long line of "Surviving and Thriving" books that help people not only overcome challenges they face in their day-to-day lives, but also laugh at the mistakes others (namely Rini) have made in the search for self discovery.
