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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
