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 meat and garnished burgers forever because I'd get sick just looking at it. Really though, the agency was still really cool to experience and landing a first job in the city would be neat. At this point, I would even settle for an internship because those opportunities can turn into a full-time position. The two agencies we visited were Pivot Design, on Clark Street and We Are Unlimited on Michigan Avenue. It was a jam packed day but also a very tiring one. Really good experience with agencies that give good advice to upcoming graduates. 

GAME OF THRONES

Image result for game of thrones gif titleSunday was honestly the highlight of my weekend because Game of Thrones finally returned. I've been waiting two years for this show to come back and I am an avid fan of the show. My friends and I decided to host a watch party. Before hand, I ended up coming over hours before just to catch up on the previous season as well as work on homework. Somehow, I managed to stay productive and watch at the same time, but once the clock hit eight, I was all eyes and ears. The chills I got once the intro kicked in was otherworldly. It was good to see the show back but also sad to know it was ending only after six episodes this season. Oh well, all good things must come to an end. I will miss the show so much and its been on air since I was in 8th grade. Wow!


National Stress Day

WARNING, minor rant: So apparently yesterday, Tuesday, was National Stress Day, but why designate a day for that when it's literally everyday for me? To add to that, I my professor in my Geology class (Ok, this is a 100 level course but it's still is annoying and time consuming) assigned a final project in addition to a project my team and I are working on that's due this Friday. Also, we have a third exam coming and a cumulative final to top it all off. I understand that this class doesn't require too much brain power, but I'm a little pissed that I need to worry about something so trivial when I have a portfolio to work on, job searching, and graduation. I also plan on going home for Easter so trying to get anything done while I'm home will be the ultimate challenge

Anyway, apologies for that, but the stress is at an all time high the next few weeks. Please get me to bar crawl in one piece...and end it in one piece too.

    I don't really think you can call it the final semester of senior year/end of the school year without practically peeing yourself from stress. I'm sorry to hear about your Geology class! That sounds like the last thing needed at this time of year, and man, I am so glad I am done with miscellaneous classes.

    I am also a huge Game of Thrones fan and was waiting for so long for this episode to come out. I thought it was awesome how they brought characters back together that we haven't seen interact in a long time. It got me very excited for the rest of the season but, as you said, I am so sad this is the end of it all. I wrote my blog on the first episode this week if you want to check it out!

    Our Geology professor made our final cumulative as well which is extremely frustrating for a 100 level course. Thats irritating that you also have a final project. Our teacher has also sprung on us a group presentation that he has n e v e r mentioned at all during the course. Maybe both of our professors got together to plot something

#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 ...

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 m...
