5 Things To Do In Chicago When It's Freezing Outside
Hannah Parker

It says a lot when I still love a city even when it's -15 degrees fahrenheit. My dad and I have been to Chicago more times than I can count, but never in the winter. Despite the arctic temperatures, Chicago has so many things to offer and the cold shouldn't stop you from visiting the Chi-Town essentials!

1. The Art Institute of Chicago:

Even if you aren't an art history nerd (aka me) you can still appreciate some gorgeous works of art at the Art Institute of Chicago.

2. The Shedd Aquarium:

The Shedd Aquarium is super gorgeous and will definitely cause you to want to smuggle a penguin home.

3. Willis Tower:

You've probably seen the Willis Tower in Ferris Buellers' Day Off, and it's definitely worth a trip to the top. Plus you can stand on the glass floor and contemplate your existence and imminent death should the glass give out.

4. The Private Bank Theater:

If you're in Chicago PLEASE go see Hamilton. Empty your bank account. Sell your soul. Money is worthless if you don't use it to see Hamilton.

5. Eat Pizza!!!

I don't have a picture of this because obviously my dad and I aren't basic enough to take pics of our food before we eat it but go treat yourself to some Chicago Deep Dish.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
