Geez. Come to the Midwest. Some cities here are about $1500/mo for decent 2br in a decent 'hood.
$400/mo in groceries? Caviar? Just kidding. I am about $300/mo for single person. I do cook a lot and take leftovers for lunches tho
It is doable but a bit on the tight side. Might want to play with numbers between savings and other things. Like I said tho. Make sure this other roomie does not get over their head because if she has to bail, you cannot afford to solo it at $2500/mo rent plus rest.
Do your student loans have interest? If not, defer them to a bit less per month if possible. It there a time limit on them? ( Sorry, I am wayyyy da hell to old to remember or even have student loans so I dont know)

$1250 rent is this being split between you two already? If so, where are you living? Gold Coast.
You need to split this rent, groceries, and utilities between you two. Even if it is a 75/25 split because you make more. Be fair but if you have a roomie, no free rides unless you can really afford it. Looking at this, you need help. As I said even if she is working PT, she can contribute also.
