The summer after your freshman year means one thing and one thing only: missing school. This is the first extended period of time in almost a year that I've spent away from campus and the first summer that I actually didn't want school to end for. I've been home for over a month now, and it has finally sunk in that I won't be returning to school until mid-August and let me tell ya I'm not happy about it.

So while I sulk in pity, I figured why not reminisce on some of my favorite memories of college. And like any other hungry and growing college student, these adventures mainly involved food. Most weekends my friends and I would take advantage of all of the hottest spots in Champaign and I began to fall in love with so many of these amazing restaurants. Surprisingly, Champaign doesn't just serve husks of corn at their restaurants. There are actually so many different yummy restaurants and dessert places that any food lover indulge in.
