What was it like moving across the country after college?

My job after I graduate will be across the country - a plane ride away from family, friends, and everyone I’ve ever known. I’m getting FOMO already cause so many of my friends will be living together in NYC and I’ll be in bumfuck. For those of you who have done it, what was it like? How did you make friends? How did you maintain your existing relationships?
