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.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
