My Top Five Favorite Places In Chicago

I love Chicago. It's such a pretty city. The city is so captivating, and there's always something to do in Chicago. So I'm gonna give you 5 things to do in Chicago.

1. Go to Michigan Avenue.


Marriott

Michigan avenue is filled with all of the shops, a lot restaurants, bars. The things to do there, are ENDLESS. Pro tip: don't come before Christmas or after. Michigan avenue is usually packed during that time. Unless, you like the big crowds and a lot of people. But, regardless Michigan Avenue is a great place to go.

2. Go to the Lincoln Park zoo.

Lincoln Park zoo is always another fun idea. If you have little kids, they'll enjoy this. I went with my roommates at the beginning of the school year and it was a lot of fun! And I got a lot of cute pictures. Plus, it's free. Definitely recommend going all ages will love this.

3. Go to the Navy Pier.

Another super great idea for if you have kids. You can ride the Ferris wheel there and a ton of restaurants. It's a lot of fun. Sometimes the line is super long for the ferris wheel. But, if you get there early you can get a good spot. It's usually crowded and busy, since it's one of the biggest spots Chicago people like to go.

4. Go to the Chicago River.


Time Out


If you go before, Saint Patty's day, they dye the river green. It's always super pretty. Plus, it's in the middle of the city. You can take super cute pictures and look at the river, then go into the city. Or look at the city at the same time.

5. Go see the Bean in the loop.



Pretty basic, but the Bean is always super fun and pretty to look at. Assuming you can go under it, you can take photos. The pictures come out looking so cute. But due, to this whole pandemic, they have the bean gated off. So, you can still take photos but from behind a gate. Better than nothing though.


However, you decide to spend the day in Chicago, I'm sure you'll love it. The Windy City, never disappoints anyone.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
