A Look Inside: Chicago Goodbyes

 

So this week was the last week of summer with the girlies. Everyone starts heading off to college today and tomorrow, while I still have a week left.

But for a fun last hoorah, we headed down to the city. After a confusing round up of everybody, we headed to Ed Debevics for lunch. If you've never eaten there, or heard of it, Ed Debevics is a fun mock 50's style diner. The only twist is, each waiter and waitress has a distincnt personality, most of them being rude. We had the pleasure of having a grown up girl scout as our waitress, and she did not spare us haha. We were made fun of for only drinking water, for sharing fries, and for other random things. She tried to set us up with some of the waiters as dates too. Another fun thing from Ed Debevics is that at the top of every hour, all the workers sing and dance.

 

Afterwards, we said bye to one friend, as she headed to work. (Yes, she's so lucky... she works in the city at a Francesca's!) Being part of the Asian Trio, we headed off to do our own thing. AKA we headed off to Insight Studios, a piercing and tattoo parlor. I love this place, getting four piercings from Bob Jones, the in- house piercer. However, it was not my turn to get pierced, my best friend wanted and then backed out of getting her cartilage pierced. I on the other hand, lost a piercing, since I needed to take out my industrial piercing.

With 2 hours still left on our meter, we decided to walk around the area. & we found our cute new hipster area of Chicago. There was a lomography store, different thrift stores, and cool nooks of artwork.

Once the meter ran out, we headed towards the center of Chicago, Millennium Park. A new thing that just started popping up all over Chicago is Divvy. A new bike company where you can ride and drop off bikes for a small fee throughout the city. It was a fun time! We rode throughout Millennium and Grant Park, then headed through Museum Campus. What made it fun was it was something completely new that we've done in the city, and we got to see the sunset behind our wonderful skyline.

All in all it was a super fun day and I'm going to miss my best friends so much during the school year. That's the hard thing about college, leaving one group of friends for another.
