Spending on Rent

Hello All, for context I am the first person in my family to go to college and come from little to no help in personal finance. I'm moving from a rural town to Dallas to start my first FT role. My worry is that I signed a lease for an apartment I won't be able to afford. My base is 85k so I simply used the 30% role and signed for rent at $2051. Am I over worrying or is my concern reasonable?
