5 Fun Things To Do In The Suburbs Of Chicago This Summer

1. Go to a minor league baseball game with some friends

These are fun and cheap options for a lovely evening of the world's greatest sport!

2. Go mini golfing

It's just a game, and who cares if it takes you 10 strokes to get it into the hole, and you're five over par! That's what makes this cheap and fun outing the best! I love going to Par King in Lincolnshire, IL.

3. Go Bar Hopping (if you're of age of course!)

I like bar hopping in Naperville, the bars here are always clean and the atmosphere on a Friday and Saturday summer night is the best! Check out Features in Naperville they have an awesome rooftop area, that is perfect for those summer breezy nights!

4. Take a walk on the Praire Path

With picture perfect views of nature, this is not only a fun FREE activity it a great way to get in some exercise. Not only is DuPage County known for having amazing parks, but we also (in my opinion) have the cleanest prairie paths around.

5. Go see a drive in movie

This is a fun taste of nostalgia, and honestly, I enjoy the view from the trunk of an SUV in a drive in better than in a movie theater, these are rarities, but there is one in West Chicago, IL called the Cascade Drive-in. It is cash only so be prepared before you go! And go enjoy a great film out in the summer air!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
