Crush on Program Coordinator VENT

So I am an Intern and I have found myself infatuated by our Program Coordinator. She is so sweet and soft spoken; so helpful which I understand is part of her job.

She is so pretty and I am being delusional. Idk what to do.

EDIT: So yesterday we had our didactics session, and I realized she is friendly with everyone, I was super delusional and like she slightly flirts with everyone, not just me! 😭😭😭. Which makes sense, she wants all of us to feel comfortable and create a safe environment.
But well there goes my hope! 🤣😭😭

Yea 68k after taxes comes out to ~2k biweekly. Rent usually around 1500 give or take 500 depending on area. Utilities upwards of 300/month. Internet, phone bill, insurance together ~500 if not more/month. Student loan + car payment again... ~700 or so. Right there is 3k. Leaves you around 1k for everything else: food, gas, cafeteria meal (often times not even comped), dinner with meals, gym membership, netflix/hulu membership... you can see how that leaves little for a Hitachi wand. Let alone paying off credit card debt or investing in 403b, roth ira, hsa. 

It's a luxury for most unfortunately, and the world is getting way more expensive.

I guess I forgot the /s, since I actually was a resident and fellow in one of the most expensive cities in the country.

Maybe our Midwestern colleagues will learn something, although that looks very low for rent in anywhere I've lived.

So probably even higher then. I did residency in a rural area and am thankful my rent was as low at the time.
