Travel day

Hello all! Hope everyone is recovering well from their spring breaks. We're getting so close to the end of the year. By this time it feels repetitive since this is my fourth year at Bradley. It's always after spring break that the year snowballs and before we know it, the year is over. This time around it will be different for us Seniors because we won't be returning. Depending on how you look at it, this is the light at the end of the tunnel for some. For me, it's a mix of emotions. I'm ready to graduate, but I know I will miss the memories I've made in my shirt time here. 


Zoo Day

Anyhow, this past weekend was mainly traveling. Friday was my last full day in LA for Spring Break. I spent most of the day at the LA Zoo while looking at exotic animals. I personal favorite was watching a pack of flamingos. Fun fact of the blog: a pack of flamingos is called a flamboyance. Other animals I saw included, chimpanzees, giraffes, and other aquatic animals. Heres my favorite moment from the trip 

 
Later that day, we ended up getting sushi after poking fun at aquatic life. I felt a little guilty but I haven't consumed sushi in two long months. Also because it was our last night, I was more than happy to live a little and spare a couple dollars. I ended up going to Wasabi at CityWalk. If you ever go there, I highly recommend trying the firecracker roll. It's basically a deep fried California roll. The roll itself is pretty basic (A good try for sushi noobs) but when fried, its amazing. Its also topped with  unagi sauce. I would've snapped a picture but I think I ate it too fast. After that, my friends and I ended going back to our place we rented from AirBnb up in the Hollywood Hills. Right before we arrived, we got out of our car to capture a good view on our last night.



Traveling across the US

Sadly, the next day was all packing and heading to LAX. While on the plane we made a quick detour to an airport in Kansas due to an ill passenger. Luckily, the paramedics came in time and wheeled the passenger out to safety. After that, we were airborne once again to O'Hare. We got back around 8 o'clock. Finally, I made the bold effort to drive back to Peoria. Since I didn't do much homework over break, I decided it would be best to get back sooner so I could settle down and enjoy the Sunday before class started. It was a much needed vacation. Back to reality (Oh, there goes gravity). Haha, I couldn't resist.

    I've never been to California before, so it must've been absolutely gorgeous out there for this time of year! It seems like such a stark contrast from Illinois; hopefully was a good change of pace for you.

#stress

What's up? This week I am back and will cover some days I've either enjoyed or days that are filled with stress! Don't worry, it's mainly good days! First off, the senioritis and stress are in full swing as I balance on with my Senior project, deadlines, and social life. The ride isn't over yet, so let's jump in Friday After my working out with one of my buddies at Markin we decided to hit up Corelife Eatery because nothing better like eating healthy food after a good workout! (We had coupons for a free meal so we took advantage). Let me just say Corelife is a really nice place to eat at. I believe they opened a little over a year ago and I tried it for the first time last year as well. While the food is good, I feel like it's missing some sort of flavor to it. I ended up getting a chicken noodle and rice broth bowl (essentially chicken noodle soup) and I thought it was meh. Since it's Corelife, there needs to be some sort of healthy greens added ...

Countdown

Hey guys, hope you're wrapping up your semesters nicely. This is it Seniors, we're basically a month out to graduation. With so little time left, there's a lot to get done. Portfolios, final projects, papers, AHHH! Granted, my finals schedule is pretty laid back, however, the weeks leading up to finals is literally hell. I'll explain this shortly. Let's get going with this week's blog! A Day in the Windy City On Friday, I went on a day trip to Chicago with AIGA, a graphic design organization. This was a great opportunity for my friends and I to network with real creative directors in the city as well as get a feel for what a design agency is really like. Personally, I feel like I could see myself in a design agency because I like open workspace as well as a fun and creative environment. Also, one of the design agencies we visited does a lot of promotional ads for McDonald's so I thought that was actually neat. However, I can't imagine staring at...
