Winter Break


We are all very close to a much-needed winter break. With the workload increasing for almost all of my classes, I'm getting stressed out very easily and haven't been able to take it out at the gym. I probably went 3-4 times the past 2 weeks which isn't the worst but I would have liked to get my normal schedule in. Alright now let's talk about what I have going on for winter break. So first off, My mom is taking me to Italy for a few days as a Christmas present. I am so excited to go because I've never been there before. My mom's favorite thing to do is travel around the world and experience other cultures. We are planning on going to Florence and Venice. During our time there we will go on a wine tour. I am super excited about this because I will be able to drink legally. We are coming home on the 21st so we can see everyone for Christmas. After Christmas, I'm going to Florida to see my dad and stepmom for New Year. I know going to Florida is nice and all, but traveling so I get a chance to see everyone gets pretty old after a while. I'm planning on staying there for a week and then I get to come home and spend the rest of the break with my friends and family at home. Although I really need this break, I'm excited to begin my new classes and get a fresh start. The picture below is a picture from when my friends and I were walking by the riverwalk in downtown Naperville. We saw this view and had to take a picture. It turned out super cool and it looks like a Picasso.

Week 2

         This picture was taken when my friends and I went to Chicago. This was my first time going to Chicago so I was super excited and was ready to see what the Windy City had to offer. To start off the day we had an early practice so we were all ready to go by 12 and had the entire day to do sightseeing. We head off to the train station and take the 1 hour train ride to the city. Everyone was asleep for almost the entire time because of the practice we had in the morning. Once we get to the city, we walked along the river for about 30 min until we got to downtown and got to see some cool stuff. The first thing we saw I think was some sort of playhouse square looking area. Playhouse square is a very popular place in cleveland (where I'm from). The next thing we saw was the Trump tower. It was very cool and i didnt even know it was there. I also took some pictures of it and some pictures of the area. Moving on, We were on the search for some shoes. I wanted to leave the city with

Week 9

     So last week my Girlfriend came to visit me and I was super excited because I hadn't seen her since I left for college. She flew in on Friday morning and I had to pick her up at 8 a.m. which was pretty early for me because I had to get up before 7, but I didn't care. Unfortunately, I had class that day so I could really hang out with her until after 1 p.m., but after that, I showed her around the campus and we got some lunch from the cage. After that, I had practice from 6-9 or something like that. After practice, we went out to Fat Rosie and got some very good Mexican food and then we walked around Downtown Naperville for a little bit before going back to my dorm.      The next day we slept in and we decided that we should go to Chicago and see what going on over there because we don't get to go to the city often. We ended up going to the city with my friend and his girlfriend and we drove there and had to pay for overpriced parking. We should have taken the train whi

Week 8

 Week 8 of college and I finally have gotten into a good rhythm with school and soccer. Last week my mom and grandparents came to visit me from Ohio and we had a great time. We went out to dinner in downtown Naperville and I might have had the best mac and cheese ever. I forgot the place's name but I will take my girlfriend out there when she comes to visit this weekend. I haven't seen her for a few months, so I'm sure we will also have a great time.  The friendships I've created are becoming stronger, which is good because I was kinda nervous about leaving my old friends behind. Most of my friends are on the soccer team but I'm slowly making friends outside of the team so I don't think I have anything to worry about. However, soccer hasn't gotten any better. I'm still on the reserve team but I've been getting more and more minutes each game and I'm scoring a decent amount.
