A Day In My Life: Oct 13

I'm going to be completely honest, my life usually isn't this exciting.  On weekdays I go to school, do homework, and sleep (a lot!).  But who wants to read about that?  So instead here's a rundown of what I did when my family came to visit me in Chicago on Friday!

Lincoln park Conservatory

After sleeping in and eating my usual Siggi yogurt, I headed for a picnic lunch with the fam, then walked over to the Lincoln Park Conservatory.  It was so nice to see a lot of greenery and nature considering I live in the city where it's all skyscrapers and horrible traffic jams.  

Biking Along the Lakefront

Next my fam and I rode bikes along the lakefront.  I really enjoyed it, except for the fact that I'm very out of shape and could barely ride a half mile on my bike before needing to stop and take a breather.  

Navy Pier

Next we headed over to Navy Pier to end our trip around downtown Chicago.  My sis, our friend Olivia, and I walked around Navy Pier for about 40 minutes trying to find a place that sold ice cream.  We ended up finding a McDonald's with soft serve ice cream... not quite what I had had in mind though :(

Attending a Fraternity Event

To end the night I went to this boujee hotel downtown for some event for my friend Alex's fraternity (I was honestly a tad confused but I think it was a celebration of his chapter officially becoming a recognized fraternity?).  Any who, I had a good time supporting my friend.  

Gossip Girl & Dunkin' Donuts

After that I went home, bought a donut from Dunkin' Donuts, and ate it while watching Gossip Girl in bed (the best way to spend a Friday night, am I right?!)
