Dear October, I thought about writing yesterday, but I chickened out. I want to write about pine cones and hiking, but I don’t want to write about your 8th visit. I will anyway. October 8th is a day I’ve wanted to forget. It’s the birthday of someone I used to be very close to, and… Continue reading pinecones | 9
Dear October, I did a very minimal amount of things today. It wasn’t unpleasant, so this isn’t complaint. It’s just a change from the several days previously. I’m at my grandmother’s house today, October. There’s something about this house that feels like home. It’s not quite as home as my own house is, but it feels close.… Continue reading chocolates | 4
Dear October, Another Chicago day, another Chicago Starbucks. This time, I’m at the one by Meagan’s law school. I’m done with breakfast and am about to go wander a little in hopes of recreating a photo I saw yesterday. But first, let me tell you about this Starbucks and why I love it. First of… Continue reading secrets | 3
Dear October, I’m writing this from a Starbucks – the one at N Wells Street and W North Avenue, to be exact. It’s not downtown. It’s been a weird day. Meagan had another mock trial, but I didn’t get to go. That was probably for the better; mock trial stresses me out. Instead, I explored… Continue reading alone | 2

Thursday (January 7, 2016, for reference) was my last day waking up downtown, so we actually managed to get out at a reasonable time. The first stop was donuts. Now… Continue reading Do Rite Donuts {Chicago review}

This is the second post in my Chicago review series. If you want to read about the entire trip in order, check out the beginning post here. This is a little different review – I’ve had Lou Malnati’s pizza twice during this vacation. Meagan ordered from Lou’s maybe a week before I came to visit.… Continue reading Lou Malnati’s pizza (2x) {Chicago review}
I’ve grown up considering Chicago, Illinois my second home. Born and raised in South Texas, I’ve spent my entire life going to visit my mom’s side of the family in Chicago. Last year, my best friend started looking seriously at Chicago for law school. When she finalized her decision, I promised I’d come visit. After… Continue reading reunited {Chicago review}
So much for that whole September challenge… I did alright in the beginning, but I didn’t really think it through. Then I took off for Chicago in the middle of the week AND the middle of the semester… so that was a whirlwind. Lots of fun, though. Today’s topic was supposed to be confessions. I… Continue reading hello again
