Fall In Northern Michigan

Fall In Northern Michigan

I love living in the city. I would not trade living in the city for anything. I can not get enough of city life! Get the picture? I LOVE living in Chicago.

Once in a while, however, when school is stressful and life gets crazy, getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life can be very therapeutic. So, that is exactly what I did with my fall break!

I took the train home to Kalamazoo on Friday. Then, on Saturday, I headed up north to Glen Arbor Michigan for some beautiful scenery and to watch my friend Haley run her first half marathon! It was quite chilly but so beautiful. We took a hike through the woods and played a lot of card games. Sunday morning we woke up and watched Haley run all 13.1 miles before heading back to Kalamazoo.

I got home from being up north around 4:00p.m. on Sunday and realized that I still had two days off of school! I spent my time sleeping, catching up on homework and bonding with my family. I have learned to appreciate my family much more since coming to college 🙂

I also applied for an absentee ballot so that I can vote in the coming election! It was an amazing, much needed, break and I am refreshed and ready to tackle the next few weeks of the semester.

Hey, gang!

I’m currently adjusting to a nice change in my life: not having at least one exam, and the accompanying studying, every week. It’s an AMAZING feeling, but because of it, I feel like nothing too interesting has been happening in my life.

That is, until today, when another The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey trailer came out!

I’m about to bombard you with a whole bunch of blogs, so enjoy this, and get ready for your own unexpected journey through my posts! (Heehee.)

The super duper amazing beautiful awesome trailer:
