Fall Break

Fall Break

Every October, Loyola spoils us a little bit and gives us a fall break.  My friends at other schools only get one day off, so we’re awesome in that we get two.  The break was this past Monday and Tuesday. I was excited to have a change in pace and come home to beautiful Kirtland, Ohio.  Here’s a few things I was most excited about.

1. The beautiful landscapes of suburbia.  Yes, Chicago is one of the best places to live, but there’s something comforting about the fall trees in suburbia.  It also helped that I came home right in the middle of fall, when the trees were changing colors.

2. My cute little dog, Marley.  Marley is the friendliest dog- always wants to cuddle, no matter who you are!

3. The cake my family made me.  Unfortunately, I didn’t get a picture of the masterpiece, but my mom bakes me a big chocolate cake for a late birthday celebration.  Delicious.

4. Little League Football.  On the Saturday of fall break, I got to see my little cousin play in his football game.  My other little cousins were there, and it was the perfect fall day of football, hot chocolate, and family.

5. My family, of course! They are the best.  It’s always an adventure coming home because they are super obnoxious and a ton of fun.  Here we are in Rome in front of The Vatican. It was a nice, relaxing fall break, but I’m so glad to be back in Chicago!
