Ever since their straw announcement I have bought more reusable products, I bought a reusable Starbucks cup and straw which I use all the time. I have been a lot more self-conscious lately and with the way, the climate is changing and I am trying to figure out the little things I do every day that can be improved and not hurt the earth.
It is a small little place right on DePaul campus that many students love to go to for a break from on-campus food. If you go, the menu is a little overwhelming but there are some delicious food choices! I would recommend the grilled chicken sandwich, which is made right there in the back. Broken English is a Mexican restaurant a few minute walk from campus on Lincoln.
This restaurant has a super fun and hipster vibe - with a giant blue cow in the middle of the store and a hanging red bicycle from the ceiling. It is a very loud restaurant but a fun place to be in for a lunch or dinner out with friends! It has a really cool vibe with white picnic table seating and red bandana napkins. If you are looking for chicken in your breakfast or brunch, look no further! Batter and Berries is a really popular brunch place down Lincoln. But, although they are known for their delicious French toast, their Cluck-N-Gaufre is my favorite.
This is their take on chicken and waffles. The waffle is sweet potato stuffed with pieces of fried chicken inside with a piece of herb chicken and nutmeg hot sauce on top. Although it is a little different from what you expect, it is quite a breakfast! It has really delicious Chinese food that also delivers late night food for pretty cheap!
Although I love their chicken fried rice, their orange chicken is the best! As smartphones progressed, so did the opportunities available for app developers and brands to expand beyond a brick and mortar operation. Banks and the rise of mobile banking are no exception. In this digital world, it only seems right that you can make balance transfers and deposit checks all from the comfort of your home. However, there are more benefits of choosing an online bank over a conventional one with branch locations. Online banks have fewer costs since they have minimal physical locations. These savings are passed onto the depositor in the form of interest rates, or the money that banks pay you for holding your money in their vaults.
Banks like PNC, Chase, and Wells Fargo have interest rates that are fractions of a percent, paying only a few cents a month. Discover and Capital One on the other hand offer rates that range from one percent an onward allowing you to rack up a few extra dollars a month. Personally, I switched my bank over to Discover for the rewards and savings. Usually, that is a feature for credit cards, a feature rare for your debit cards. Sure, I admit that ATM access is not as accessible as my prior PNC accounts, but my use of cash is limited to haircuts and quarters for laundry so I am doing fine nonetheless.
If I were to move away, I would not have to worry about what banks are predominant in the region since Discover is virtually accessible anywhere from my smartphone or laptop. Do your research before choosing a new bank and transferring your funds. It is a hassle to close accounts and you can possibly accumulate fees while making money transfers between banks. However, I could not have been more wrong. Young adults are just starting to live their lives and are probably more impacted by policies surrounding education, taxes, and healthcare.
I know I am extremely passionate about the environment and am always looking for new ways to be more eco-friendly. Unfortunately, the biggest changes have to come from laws and policies for us to see any drastic improvement. When the time comes to elect a new representative, I always do research and find someone who cares just as much about going green.
After finding an issue that I was really passionate about, I found myself wanting to get more involved with politics, and I encourage you to do the same. There are so many people right now in countries across the world fighting for a right that people in America often take for granted. It is such a gift to be able to participate in law-making and electing representatives. Becoming an adult also means becoming more informed and involved with the world around you.
This show was more intimate since it was in a smaller venue, but there was just as much energy. Kweku Collins has a smaller fan base than Masego, but as a Chicago native Evanston to be specific he had a lot of support coming from the audience. Even though it was his first U. At only 21 years old, Kweku is an incredible performer and I would love to see him again soon.
I felt lucky to be attending one of the first shows of his first American tour! I have been obsessed with them for about four years now, and I finally got the chance to see them live! Wednesday night, I went to see Abhi the Nomad who I just recently began to like. His show was very small, but he continuously had high energy throughout his entire performance. My roommate and I won tickets to this show through Radio DePaul and had the best night ever!
We are both such big Kim and Troye fans and are so grateful for the opportunity to see them for free with such great seats. Each concert I went to was at a different venue, which I also found to be pretty exciting. The venue was so beautiful, and Troye made everyone have a great time by singing and dancing their hearts out whether they were in the nosebleeds or in the front row.
Friday evening was also my semi-formal, which was at the Laughing Buddha. This venue just recently opened off the Chicago brown line stop and was perfect for our group. While I had to leave my semi-formal early in order to get to the Troye Sivan concert, I still had a blast. Yes, at times it is very cold and you will regret coming to Chicago for that brief period of time when you are walking outside and hating your life, however, really, Chicago winters are not as bad as they say.
You just need to learn to dress smart. The changing of leaves in Fall is absolutely gorgeous and worth the winter that follows. The snow is beautiful and, although it can get tiresome, being in Chicago and fighting the winter is worth it. What I would suggest is buying a very good heavy duty pair of boots, along with some great fuzzy socks. Keeping your feet warm is very important. Make sure to wear lots of layers. Get thermal leggings, basically just fuzzy socks for your legs, and wear it under your jeans or pants.
Wear thermal shirts or just warm layers under your sweaters and your heavy parka. Make sure to get gloves, a scarf you can wrap around your ears and face, and a warm hat. I know, it sounds a little scary with all of those clothes, but being wrapped up like a penguin really puts you in the holiday spirit, ready for the White Christmas! DePaul has a significant amount of out-of-state students, which means many freshmen are forced to acclimate to winter weather they may not be used to. Since I came to college from another Midwest state, I consider myself an expert on handling freezing, below-zero temperatures.
In order to stay warm, here are some tips for first timers: While winter in Chicago can seem daunting, being prepared goes a long way. It may be freezing cold and windy, but winter is also one of the prettiest times of year because of the Christmas decorations that fill the Magnificent Mile and the rest of the city. As the temperature continues to drop, there are still plenty of parades and holiday markets to look forward to! In Chicago, there are many restaurants to choose from for brunch. There are places that are known for their cinnamon rolls, their French toast, fried eggs, and more.
When I first became vegetarian, I thought I would dread going out to brunch. I had grown up eating sausage or extra crispy bacon whenever my family decided we were going to have a big breakfast together or when I went out to breakfast with friends. To my surprise, Chicago has many restaurants with vegetarian and even vegan options.
Cornerstone is my personal favorite. Whenever I go there, I always build my own veggie skillet. The skillet is placed on top of hash browns I order mine extra crispy of course with a side of pancakes. The build your own skillet allows you to choose either toast, French toast, or pancakes as your side. It is about a ten-minute walk from campus and rarely has a long wait. One thing I love about living in Chicago is that you never run out of new places to try.
What are some of your favorite places to go to brunch in Chicago? If you see me around campus, feel free to let me know. One thing I can suggest is wearing layers for the next couple of months. Scarves and things of that nature are also a good idea to protect your neck and throat. Whenever the weather drastically change s my allergies immediately flare up causing me to get sick. Be sure to drink tea and whatever cold medicine necessary to stay healthy. Because unlike high school, sick days do not get you out of work in college.
Even if you miss a class due to extreme sickness it is on you to figure out what you missed and make that work up. I would much rather go to class than be sick and still have to navigate classes, work, and other University obligations. Disinfect on the regular and be agreement with your roommate on when to clean up. One of the most important things to remember in your freshmen year is that both you and your roommate are responsible for keeping things clean and tidy.
The Cultural Center has so much to do: I love looking at all the different art galleries from new, interesting artists. Some people find art museums boring, but I find them interesting. The art exhibits are always changing, so you can see something new each time you go there. The building is absolutely beautiful, especially on the very top floor. The Cultural Center is known for its stunning architecture, and they even offer guided architecture tours to learn about it more in depth.
And you can take a great Instagram pic too! If you have classes mainly in the Loop campus, Dollop is great because it is located a block away from campus right off the Harold Washington Brown Line. I love the quiet and comfy environment, it's a perfect way to chill out after classes and get some homework done. They're known for their rainbow cake and gelato. Some people may think this kind of thing is boring but I found it very relaxing. The crowd is extremely quiet scary quiet , but it really makes you only focus on the music.
This concert was a very different feel than from the rowdy concerts I sometimes choose to go to where I have to stand for hours and am prone to get trampled in a mosh pit. There are so many shows at CSO each month so there is always an opportunity to go see a concert. Also, in the Springtime, the DePaul Symphony Orchestra plays at the Symphony Center which is also a great time to go with all your friends.
The best thing about all of this is that you can find all these things at one of the many farmers' markets around the city in the Fall Time. Low-Line Market. They have a build your own bouquet vendor, flower truck, Michigan vendors and a lot of other unique products for sale. This market runs on Thursdays from This farmers market is located at the south end of Lincoln Park.
You can buy locally grown produce and all things fall for great prices here. It is huge and so much fun! Driving will take about 40 minutes whereas using free transit will cost you just under 2 hours. This is a living plant museum that offers 25 different gardens that represent 4 distinct types of habitats. The best time of year to attend is the spring or summer to witness the color-blasted landscape of flowers. If interested, there are horticulture and other volunteer opportunities available for those who would like to work first-hand with the plants. Since fall has arrived, the seasonal spectacle people enjoy is the color change in leaves.
What better place to view the reds, oranges, and yellows than at a botanical park devoted to trees. Located in Lisle, the drive will also be around 40 minutes with an hour and a half transit commute. Just looking a trees sounds like it can get boring real fast, but fear not there are hiking trails, bike paths, and a maze to sustain your interest.
Take part in the Troll Hunt where you seek out 6 massive wooden troll sculptures throughout the park that are constructed by Danish artist, Thomas Dambo. Another thing I really appreciated about the Shedd , was its determination to educate the public. Throughout the building, there were sculptures of different sea animals made entirely out of plastic.
This encourages people to think twice about how their daily choices are affecting animals on the other side of the planet. Humans are tactile creatures with an amazing propensity for compassion. However, that compassion is often not founded from textbooks or television shows. Most people find it difficult to care about a species halfway around the world or to worry about the destruction of land they have never stepped foot on.
Aquariums facilitate a connection between those who may never leave their country, or even their home state and the animals. I left the aquarium with a higher appreciation for ocean life, and made a promise to be mindful of every creature that lives on Earth. If you get the chance to visit, the Shedd is a beautiful place to spend the afternoon. And I know for a fact that the beluga whales will be very happy to see you! Swallowed In The Sea- Coldplay: Millenium Park Summer Music Series. Free music outdoors is one of the best ways to enjoy summer.
Millenium Park always hosts many things in the summer along with movies, festivals and concerts. I usually avoid Lolla because of the long days and large crowds. I will probably go eventually, but if you want more intimate concerts with the festival artists, I suggest buying aftershow tickets which are cheaper and in my opinion, more worth it. Summerfest is an day music festival in Milwaukee during the end of June and beginning of July. Northcoast is another music festival th at takes place in Union Park at the end of August and beginning of September over Labor Day weekend.
By staying in the city, I am opening up my summer experience to all kinds of possibilities for adventures and events. From music festivals like Mamby on the Beach and Lollapalooza to farmers markets like Green City Market and the Lincoln Park Farmers Market , there is no shortage of events to fill your free time in the summer months. This ice cream originated in the southwest side but a smaller shop has opened up at Navy Pier.
Margies Candies. I will have to say this is my favorite ice cream place as of right now. They have super large scoops and the inside of this place is very old school and very cozy. They also serve the world largest sundae which is on my bucket list to conquer. This local Italian Ice shop is only open seasonally in the summer so I would make sure to take advantage of it. They are a mom and pop shop in Italian Village and serve my favorite Italian Ice in the city. They have hints of lemon peel in their cups which really makes them different.
Bobtail Ice Cream. They have a large variety of flavors along with unique floats, coffee, and shakes. Windy City Sweets. This shop is a wonderland for those with a sweet tooth. Half the shop is full of every type of candy you can imagine, while the other half is an ice cream shop of everyone's favorite ice cream flavors- including mine Superman ice cream. This is one of my favorite ways to find restaurants; simply looking around wherever you are instead of solely relying on Yelp reviews and the internet.
Anything can happen when you explore a new neighborhood. I chose the latter just to be safe. The toppings were similar as well: Considering the price is two dollars cheaper than Budlong, this sandwich is one I highly recommend. Yet, it does not stop there for there are other items on the menu that are noteworthy. The fried chicken sandwich is what lured me in, and since it made a good first impression on me I am looking forward to going back to try other things such as the duck fat fries, the Nashville chicken sandwich, smoked gouda burger, or the truffle burger. While chicken may be a trend of my blogs, I appreciate a good burger just as much.
I had a lot of fun last year since it was my first year at DePaul and going to formal. If you enjoyed homecoming and dances in high school, you would really enjoy formals. They are a lot more relaxed than the high school dance atmospheres, and smaller which is what I prefer. Even asking friends from outside of school, to allow them to experience some time with you at DePaul. I walked in and was immediately in love. There was an artful process to this place and I was in awe:.
First, you get to pick your homemade ice cream bar flavor out of a wide assortment. I had only ever had prewrapped Hagaan Daaz or Dove bars, so to see homemade ice cream bars out of the wrapper was shocking. But this was just the beginning. After considering all my options and realizing that I probably could not go wrong, I settled on strawberry.
Step number two was picking my dip—was it going to be dark, white, or milk chocolate? Milk of course. Mmmm chocolate covered strawberries here I come! But wait, step three. While the chocolate is still hot, pick your topping. I looked at all the colorful options but decided to opt for taste over aesthetics. I went with Oreos.
I watched as she rolled my chocolate covered strawberry creation into the bucket of Oreos and my stomach grumbled. Finally, she handed me my customized bar in a little food boat, which I later realized is for when you get to the end of the bar and your creation begins to crumble.
By then you need a spoon and a second stomach! If you consider yourself a foodie or are curious about how a certain restaurant is perceived by the public, this app is a must. Some restaurants even have special or free food offerings for yelp users! Transit Stop: This app is absolutely necessary if you take any public transit in the city. It gives you live updates on when the train or bus is coming to each stop, right down to the very minute. An essential app the assures you won't be left standing on the el platform for 10 minutes. For all of your food, drink, and entertainment needs, you need Timeout.
This app lets you discover nearby restaurants and bars, and popular things happening around the city on any given weekend. This is an app I just recently got into, and it is seriously amazing. OverDrive lets you borrow books and audio books from the Chicago Public Library through a library card. I would say that my college experience here at DePaul has been unique to that of any other schools.
Chicago is home to 2. Building relationships and networking is a crucial skill to have as a young professional, and what better place to practice that than a big city school? Not only have I had the chance to befriend people here at DePaul, but also at other universities in the Chicago area. In doing so, my college experience has incorporated the different cultures from various universities. There is something incredible about merging school cultures and getting to show other students around the best parts of campus.
I usually choose to go on rainy days or when there are new exhibits. It also has a great variation of art from different time periods, contemporary, modern, photography and even more. If you want to explore all the wings of the museums I recommend you put off a minimum of 2 hours of your day. This exhibit is just a room filled with helium fish balloons that visitors can interact with. You can see from the picture, that the kids really enjoyed this exhibit. I always notice new details every time I see this piece. A Space Odyssey will be returning to theatres to commemorate its 50th Anniversary.
Stanley Kubrick is known for his ability to capture beautiful scenes in a way that was well ahead of its time. Most people would recognize his work in The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, A Clockwork Orange, or even the conspiracy theory that he helped fake the moon landings. After watching trailers for A Space Odyssey, it is easy to see how some would come to think such a thing. I was shocked to learn that the movie was released in Then again, perhaps Interstellar is the A Space Odyssey of the 21st Century since Christopher Nolan expresses its heavy influence and lasting impression it made on him.
With more than seven hot and cold food bars, a pizza counter, two grab and go pre-packaged coolers, and a coffee and pastry bar, you can satisfy any food craving you have here. As a part of Lettuce Entertain You restaurant group, Beatrix has several restaurants and markets across the city. They are known for their modern take on American food, and their market locations are specifically targeted towards those looking for a quick bite. From greens, grains, sprouts, and fruits and vegetables, you can always find a fresh and healthy option.
While there are many food options to choose from in the loop campus, the addition of Beatrix Market is great for DePaul students and staff. Not only can you choose from a variety of foods, but the atmosphere of the market makes it perfect to pass those couple hours in between classes. I might be a little bitter that this location opened during the last quarter of my senior year at DePaul , but I plan on stopping by every chance I get.
Also with the UC being a skyscraper, you can possibly have a great view depending on your floor. My roommate and I had a great view of the lake if you peaked your head out of the window enough. Living so close to the lake was also one of my favorite things about living there. The lakefront trail was less than a mile away and I could go for a short run to the museum campus with a beautiful view. I have found my go-to joints for many different types of cravings: Chinese food, tacos, fried chicken, burgers, etc.
There are many components to a good barbeque such as the sides, the sauce, the beverages, but none more important than the meat. No amount of sauce could cover up dry or wrongfully cooked meat. The sandwich itself was pre tty good, the brisket and pork were cooked perfectly. The standout of my meal were the deep fried pickles. Most places will fry up pickle slices, thus resulting almost in a pickle chip.
Wrigley BBQ fries up pickles spears pickles cut from top to bottom rather than slicing the sides. What you get is a pickle french fry rather than a chip and the result is surprisingly different, yet more delicious. I only had Loyola winning the first round, but once they won beyond that, I was rooting for them. I was so excited to have a Chicago team finally get into the final four. I really thought Loyola was going to the final game until a few minutes into the second half on Saturday. They definitely united Chicago and made this city proud, especially being an 11th seed team.
I loved being out in public during some of the games and seeing people of all ages representing Loyola with their colors or watching the game on their phones in a park or at a restaurant. Crossroads Trading Co. With multiple locations across the city, this is definitely my go-to store to buy and sell clothes. They also offer great store credit when you turn in your gently used items. Buffalo Exchange: This chain has tons of locations across the country, and is my go-to place if I want to shop the latest trends. While the store is pretty busy most of the time, new inventory is always coming in which makes each time I visit a different experience filled with new clothes.
Belmont Army: This store is secondhand paradise. With four floors of different clothes, shoes, and accessories, I could seriously spend all day looking around. Each level of the store features something different. They even pull pieces they think you would like based on your browsing history. I left laughing harder than I had in a while and looking for another opportunity to go back and watch another show. While the bus is my savior when it comes to traveling to and from the Sheridan station, I ride the buses for more than just commuting to class.
Since the train station is about five blocks west, bus 36 travels north and south on Broadway, a street lined heavily with restaurants and grocery stores. Timing the buses is sort of an art, however, one that requires experience with the CTA system. The best way to track both trains and buses is the Transit Stop app.
Although the Maps app that comes with IOS does provide bus arrival times, since I started using this platform about three weeks ago I had multiple instances where the Maps app provided wrong information. Such an instance was telling me a bus was arriving in three minutes but it turned out to be twenty-five minutes instead.
So ultimately, what I am trying to hint at is that there is no need to waste money on Uber or Lyft, but instead, take advantage of the CTA system in which DePaul provides. Join popular chefs and culinary experts and learn all about local and sustainable food. Held in Little Italy, this conference features celebrity chefs, food demonstrations, and over vendors. Nothing quite says spring like beautiful blooming flowers. Chicago Humanities Festival: Now in its third year, the Humanities Festival brings artists and activists to the city for a weekend.
Join fellow riders as the city shuts down Lake Shore Drive to all cars for five hours and lets bikers cycle through the streets. Celebrating their 23rd year, the Lakeview Mayfest is a tradition that kicks off the festival season. Whether you enjoy classical, jazz or the latest hit on the radio, there are venues and artists here for everyone. The music scene was definitely a bonus when I moved here.
Just a few blocks away from campus, Lincoln Hall is one of my favorite venues with live performances almost every day. Both bands put on such a wonderful show, and due to the intimate nature of the venue, we were right by the stage. Afterward, I went to the bathroom and ran into the lead singer for Florist, Emily, and chatted with her for a few minutes. Her energy was so calming and she was genuinely grateful for our support.
At the River East location, there is an AMC Theatre that is not typical in the traditional sense since there is a bowling alley, arcade, bar, and so on. One of my favorite things about living in Chicago is all the amazing food and restaurants to choose from. BomboBar is the Instagram famous walk-up coffee and donut shop in West Loop. Pictures of their famous hotter chocolate can be found on every Chicago foodies Instagram page. The walk up window is connected to Bar Siena, and their donuts and drinks can be ordered in the restaurant as well. The quaint walk-up eatery offers gelato, coffee, donuts, hot chocolate and Italian pastries.
During the colder months, the walk up window has a heated enclosed awning, which is perfect for sipping on hot chocolate or munching on some pastries. And the summer is the perfect time to try some of their famous gelatos. BomboBar is definitely worth a visit and is a great place to take friends or family when they visit. Being a short train ride away from some of the best museums in the country is one of the best parts about being a DePaul student. Along with our proximity, DePaul students are also offered steep discounts for museum admission.
Students learning about art movements or historical time perio ds in their classes can then go and see exhibits and installations about these topics in person.
Snow is a blanket that covers the city and makes all things new with its purity. Yes, it soon grows dingy, but for a time it stays perfect. And have you ever noticed the sense of quiet that a new snowfall brings? With snow comes peace, even just momentarily. Then there is the satisfaction of making the first path of footprints in a fresh bank of snow.
You sink in and you step out, leaving your mark as you go. Snow brings me back to the days of being a kid—snowballs, snowmen, snow angels, sledding, forts, and the list of fun goes on and on. When it snows at DePaul, adults are frolicking in the Quad and there is a sense of joy all around that is quite contagious. My absolute favorite place to go when it snows is the beach. The lake turns into an endless tundra and once again it is quiet. It is just crazy to think that this is the very same place that will be swarming with people in swimsuits in just a few months.
But still, just try and take in these beautiful moments with me before the slush of March and showers of April are soon upon us. From the looks of the film , it deals with complex topics of political unrest, classism, and monarchy. Black Panther makes me extremel y excited to not only see the future of Hollywood but just for the future of our society in general because while some might not be such a fan of the movie, the amount of support the film has shows me anything is possible, sometimes you just have to be patient.
Popular for its stunning displays of diverse greenery, the Garfield Park Conservatory is the perfect place to escape the winter for an afternoon. Always free and open daily, this beautiful Chicagoan gem is about 45 minutes from campus right off the green line. The conservatory has different activities that vary every month, and this past weekend a few friends and I decided to grab our mats and check out the yoga class that they offered.
Accompanied by a hundred excited strangers of all ages, the room was packed and full of positive energy. Decorated with a beautiful fountain in the middle, and surrounded by a diverse population of trees the ambiance of the room was perfect for a relaxing yoga practice. We enjoyed ourselves, to say the least. Cool It Child- Hazlett. My favorite thing about this coffee shop is the cozy environment and the fact that most of the items on their menu have literary names.
We had pretty bad seats, but it was nice not having to worry about being crushed against hundreds of people. We got to enjoy her beautiful voice from the comfort of our seats as we ate our overpriced fries and nachos. Pro tip: Lana was a great person to see live along with Jhene Aiko, both amazing women artists. If you have never listened to them before I highly recommend if you love chill female artists. More recently, I went to another concert but a smaller one on January 27th with my friend at Uncommon Ground.
This venue was all the way over by Loyola but worth the distance because we got off the Loyola redline stop and enjoyed a great dinner at Blaze Pizza before the show. This was definitely a lot different than the Lana concert and a good relaxing setting, but both were great concerts. During the January 15—19 stretch I took advantage of the free days to go to the Shedd Aquarium right on Museum Campus. I recommend acquiring the tickets online so that there is no hassle, confusion, or wait upon entering any of the museums. When I went to the Shedd they can simply scan the barcode of the ticket on my phone.
Upon entering I was disappointed with the low variety and quantity of doughnuts, but I was to blame because I did go in the evening. Nevertheless, there were some extraordinary flavors to choose from. I went with a Captain Crunch doughnut with a cream filling and when that fried pastry touched my palette, I realized the premium doughnut price tag was well worth it. I just ran into another one off of the Roosevelt Red Line. I recommen d you go in, try one, try two, or maybe a dozen, and you will agree doughnuts are the best desserts out there.
I was skeptical about taking pictures in semi-darkness without flash, but they turned out pretty well. Although I ended up taking over photos, only five made the final cut. Monograms on Webster custom embroider almost anything you can imagine! We sell everything from blankets, to cutting boards, to piggy banks, to PJs. But it is simply the best place to pick out a personalized gift for anyone on your list. If the creativity and cuteness of Pinterest came to life, it would look a lot like Monograms on Webster. Unlike most retail places, Monograms on Webster is a personal shopping experience.
And I get to help with all of this! Deciding which options to go with is imaginative and fun and seeing the faces of the customers picking up their finished, embroidered gifts is my absolute favorite. Monograms on Webster is located at W. See you soon! An estimated , people flooded the streets of Chicago to march this past Saturday. Clad with signs and flags, the event was truly a special thing to be a part of. As amazing as it was to see so many people out on the streets and advocating for change, the march in Chicago was just one of the hundreds of events that happened worldwide this past weekend.
From New York to London, the march was much more than just encouraging women to vote this November. This set of ice snakes along Millennium Park and features slight alterations in elevation. Located not too far from the Millennium Park rink by the Cloud Gate, I chose the Maggie Daley Ribbon because it was less busy and actually bestows a larger square footage of ice.
The cost to rent skates ranges from twelve dollars to fourteen dollars depending on the day weekdays are cheaper. Admission is free to everyone every day , so there really is no excuse to not give skating a chance. The Ribbon opened in mid-November and will remain open to the public until the beginning of March. After venturing in one Sunday morning, I can definitely say this place is unlike any other coffee shop I've been to around Chicago.
Not only do they offer amazing coffee and pastries with plenty of room to lounge, but they also offer financial coaching, educational classes , and bookable meeting rooms. Well, everything except for the coffee that is. That means free classes, free financial coaching, and free meeting rooms. At first, I was only interested in the coffee shop aspect of Next Door. But after some research, I found some really cool classes they offer. If you saw me in the prior two years during temperatures below fifty degrees you would have seen me wearing a Loras college jacket.
I learned the hard way that a bomber jacket stands no chance against the Chicago winter and I looked to a parka for warmth. This Tommy Hilfiger parka is literally my lifesaver for the commute to classes. With my torso and arms not feeling a slightest of breeze, my legs on the other hand still suffered.
Jeans just would not cut it and I found myself with numb legs after every excursion outside. The answer was quite simple: That is why these skin-tight and cozy long johns are a game changer and like the parka, are the first of its kind I have ever owned. I used to wear my gym shoes to the gym, but I nearly ruined the pair with all the salt on the sidewalk and stepping in dirty snow. This is simply a black beanie to match the black boots.
As much as I hate what a hat does to my hair, my ears will always thank me for wearing one. I have never been a person to wear gloves casually, but once again, these Chicago winters will change a man. These gloves are like a jacket for your hands. Fleece interior lining, leather palms, and nylon for the back, I am not afraid to wear these for an interview or just to class. There are obviously plenty of other things to consider for dressing in the winter like thick socks for your boots, a warm inner layer like a crewneck sweatshirt, or a thick pair of jeans, but these are the everyday staples of my wardrobe.
Despite the fact I am, for the first time in my life, properly equipped for winter temperatures, I still cannot help but look forward to summer and laying on the beach once again. Along with our extended break, the school year also does not start until September while most other universities are beginning their academic year in mid-August. It has taken some getting used to, but I would not trade the quarter system for anything else. I hope everyone had a relaxing and rejuvenating winter break! The gourmet toppings for their specialty sausages are indescribable, but they surely compliment the sausage in an unimaginable way.
The menu features some of the same items, even right down to the duck fat fries. Yes, you have many things to do, but you also have a lot more time to do them. As a writing tutor, the benefit to not missing any of your shifts during the regular quarter is having the luxury of time off during finals. All of a sudden I have found myself with this free time that I did not have all quarter and it provides a total breath of fresh air. Once I have taken that much needed deep breath , however, I must use this time wisely to spread out my workload. Everyone understands when you roll up to the library at 1: Everyone at DePaul is going through finals week together, which means everyone can complain, wear pjs, stress, and celebrate collectively when it is all over.
Not only is our break nice and long, it also allows us to celebrate all of the holidays worry-free. So hang in there, DePaul. You can do it, especially if you try your best to stay positive! During this festival along Michigan Avenue, the holiday lights are turned on for the beginning of the holiday season. The Magnificent Mile always looks like a winter wonderland in the winter with all the lights and street decorations. There is also a parade for this festival with tons of music and sometimes famous people-for example Ben Zobrist and his wife were on a float last year after the Cubs had won the world series.
There are vendors selling cute holiday items, along with food and the most infamous hot chocolate in their specialty mugs. If you have never been, you must go to this market! The Christkindlmarkt is also opening up another location for their market in Wrigleyville. This market will include mostly the same things but with more activities and even an ice-skating rink. If you have already been to the Chicago Christkindlmarket I suggest you check this one out. Good luck to everyone who is still finishing up finals! The holidays will be here before we know it along with a much-needed break from classes.
My favorite way to keep organized and get things done is to make lists. Daily lists are the best. Where you can list all the things you need to get done for the day, and checking those things off as you go through your day is such a relieving feeling. Setting reminders is also very helpful, whether it be a reminder to do your laundry at 2 pm or finish your paper at Also, putting things on a calendar can help you see how available you are and how you can manage your time best. Make sure to take breaks and make time for yourself. This is the second concert I have attended that was sponsored by Red Bull.
The first was a Soulja Boy concert freshman year. These Red Bull concerts are typically really cheap if you sign up for the mailing list. The Soulja Boy concert was five dollars, whereas the Young Thug concert was fifteen if you bought the tickets before they sold out in the primary market. Not only are the concerts really cheap, but also Red Bull will provide a lot of free commodities for those attending.
I cashed my token in for a Young Thug concert shirt of pretty decent quality. Red Bull ambassadors also gave out slices of pizza to those of us waiting for hours in line before the show.
While it may be too late to buy tickets at fifteen dollars for artists like Migos which I regret not buying you can still purchase tickets in the secondary market- like StubHub. I still have one more concert in part of the 30 Days of Chicago and that is Khalid performing at the Aragon Ballroom on November Check below for the full lineup of artists that will be performing throughout the month.
Being from another state has pushed me to be more independent and reliant on myself. Rather than being able to call my parents to come check out an apartment I am interested in, I have to be attentive and responsible and decide for myself whether it seems like a safe place to live and a good fit. Instead of going home when I get sick or have had a hard week like some of my friends are able to do, I do not have that option. Being completely on my own has pushed me to succeed on my own without falling back on anyone else, and I am proud of the accomplishments I have achieved while living here in Chicago.
Another thing that going to school in another state has taught me is to treasure the time I have with my family and friends at home. When I fly home for Thanksgiving in a couple weeks, I will not have been home for eight whole months! Since this is the case, when I do have a few days at home I make sure that I take full advantage of them.
I would not be the person I have become if I had not pushed myself to do this, and there is truly no place I would rather be than living and learning in Chicago. The quarter system is fast, but I love it! But it can be difficult because midterms and finals definitely sneak up on you. As long as you are organized and proactive in completing your reading and assignments, you will do great! Force yourself to write drafts of essays before they are actually due. Midterm Paper is due in two weeks, but MY first draft is due in one week.
Reward yourself! What are professors like?

How are they different from teachers in high school? Professors, in my experience, are always eager to help! I recommend looking at the syllabus to see if they have listed specific office hours, so you can meet with them individually. Be proactive and seek help and professors will respect that you are trying to succeed. If you are sick and cannot make it to class, email your teacher.
It is best to stay in good communication to show that you care and want to be on top of your schoolwork. You can meet people in so many differ ent ways: The best part about DePaul is being in the middle of the best city in the United States! I was never a big fan of any food that is soup-like but pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup that has changed my hatred for soup.
The first time I tried this soup was with my roommate on a typical freezing cold day. This place is essentially a Chipotle for your soup. You pick the type of base you want, the type of protein, vegetables, and broth. The employees are incredibly nice and every time I go here I have had a good conversation with the server which always makes me feel more welcome. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the red stools are my favorite because they imitate the stools they have in Vietnam which you can see in the pictures they have hanging up.
The other fried chicken unique to the Chi is Special Kudo. However, the butchering alone does make the chicken taste so good. You have the liberty of choosing between spicy and original for the batter used to fry. As a newcomer, I took the conservative route and did two spicy and one original. In this case, the spicy was not too noticeable, but there are some seasonings that I cannot explain that make up the batter.
Their mission statement proposes they want to expand to every state in the Union, and with their great food and low prices, I anticipate Special Kudo will achieve that goal. We w ere feeling a little skeptical because of the weather, but we ended up having the best time! For anyone who likes EDM music or just wants to have a lively, exciting concert experience I highly recommend attending Freaky Deaky next year for Halloween!
As for the movie itself, it is literally something I had never experienced before. Loving Vincent is the first fully painted feature film. Some are discreetly incorporated into the film while others are quite obvious such as the implementation of Starry Night as the opening scene. When I was very young, I used to tell people that I wanted to be a zookeeper when I grew up, so the Lincoln Park Zoo - of course - has a special place in my heart. It is within walking distance of campus and the best part about it? Not only are there always gorillas, giraffes, and lions to enjoy, but the zoo also hosts a variety of events that really help you get into the holiday spirit, such as Fall Fest and the Zoo Lights.
Fall Fest is a staple for me every year because there is an awesome pumpkin patch that transports you right out of the city! The lily pond is right near the zoo as well and it provides you with the perfect place to escape the chaos of the city and reflect on whatever is going on in your life. It is just the slice of quiet you need to remember the beauty of nature and self-care, which is why I always feel so relaxed when I spend time here. If you especially enjoy exotic plants or you just need a place that will make you feel like it is the middle of summer, I suggest you make your way to the Lincoln Park Conservatory.
Here you will find beautiful flowers, greenery, and fountains in a warm and cozy greenhouse. No matter how cold it is outside, you will always feel like you are on a tropical vacation in the botanical garden! If you know Chicago, then I am sure you know about the lakefront path.
Still, it never gets old to come spend some time at the lake. If you like to run or bike then it is definitely the place to be, or if you are more like me, then it is the place to see other people do those sorts of things while just relaxing and taking in the remarkable Chicago skyline! Even the zoo knows how to celebrate the holidays in style. Starting on November 24 and lasting until early January, the zoo transforms into a spectacular winter wonderland featuring millions of string lights. You can also find huge life-size snow globes, ice carving demonstrations, a carousel, and plenty of holiday crafts.
This is just down the street from campus and free! The ultimate bucket list item in Chicago is to go skating under the bean at Millenium Park. The ice rink is usually ready by November 17 weather permitting and is open to the public completely free of charge. For 25 years the CTA has been embracing the holiday spirit by decorating an entire el train with lights, bells, tinsel, and more.
More than a million people make their way downtown to watch the parade that features enormous floats, balloons, a marching band, and music performers. Germany comes to Chicago for the holiday with the historic Christkindlmarket. This holiday celebration brings European tradition to life here in the city. Retail therapy is real. Who cares if you failed your finance midterm if you look cute in your brand new shoes?
I try to avoid shopping for clothes and usually buy myself flowers and some books because I finally have the chance to read something for fun. Order your favorite food! The best way to spend money is on food. The best way to treat yourself is to literally treat yourself- too bad it never involves anything healthy.
Shut Off Your Brain: Do nothing. After exams is the best time to start a new show to binge watch or stay in the night and watch one of your favorite movies as you eat your favorite pint of ice cream. Being curled up in bed and not having to use your brain for something intellectual is so relaxing and rewarding. After putting off hanging out with your friends to study you need to go out and socialize. Hang out with your friends and try to avoid talking about school.
Get away from campus and enjoy some of the cool places Chicago has to offer. The opportunities for experiencing live music are endless in Chicago, and I try to take advantage of them as much as I can. Having access to such a wide variety of music performances, events, and venues is truly one of my favorite things about this city. I cannot imagine getting this same experience at a state school because it just is not offered. The neighborhood is perfect for grabbing a quick bite to eat, or even spending an afternoon exploring all the shops and restaurants it has to offer.
This weekend my friends and I ventured across the city to spend an afternoon in the historic neighborhood. When we first arrived I was surprised to see all the authentic buildings with beautiful architecture. Though the neighborhood was fairly small, it was filled with tons of shopping and restaurants. From dim sum and ramen to small bakeries with fresh goods, there were plenty of amazing food options to choose from. Chinatown also had lots of shopping where you could find everything from fun souvenirs to authentic medicine shops that stocked hundreds of herbal teas and traditional Chinese remedies.
Not only can you find tons of things to do in Chinatown, but the neighborhood does an amazing job at immersing visitors in Chinese culture. While I was in Chinatown I ended up grabbing dinner and doing a little shopping throughout the neighborhood. Needless to say, I had an amazing first visit. On the other hand, choosing to attend DePaul, or stay for that matter, solely based on the premise it is located in Chicago does not by any means constitute a valid reason to study here. Truth be told, I think it is the field experience - in terms of jobs and internships - that separates DePaul from most universities.
I see firsthand the dedication of studying in honors programs, declaring multiple majors, working a job as a full-time student whether it be on or off campus and attaining internships before graduation; all to which typical DePaul students will have the luxury of accomplishing as opposed to those of a state school. I see old high school classmates in their state universities partying and tailgating, to which I must admit seems so fun, you know that stereotypical college experience.
There is a reason why Chicago is the first destination they flock to when summer break comes around. Both my mom and my oldest sister graduated from DePaul, but that does not mean that it was the school that I always thought I would be attending. To be honest, I originally imagined myself at a school much further from my hometown of La Grange, IL. However, health complications that came up during my high school career made that choice a bit unrealistic, so I applied to a few universities much closer to home: When I visited DePaul, I totally loved it.
