College

My college future right now is not yet finally decided. My two choices right now are between U of I and NIU. I have already taken a tour of U of I and I love it so much! The only bad thing is that it costs so much. I am going to be visiting NIU within the next couple of weeks to take a tour of the campus and to also take my placement exams to help me get into the program of which I hope to study. I would like to go to U of I because it's two hours away from home as to where NIU is 45 minutes away. I don't want to be able to come home every weekend. But I know that it's all my decision to choose whether to come home or not, but I don't want the choice of how I am able to get home quickly. But I think my final decision will be made after I tour NIU in the next couple of weeks!

Spring Break

Over spring break, I went to Pittsburgh for my first time to visit my godparents. My first day there we went out for pizza to catch up on what was new with each other. My first actual day in Pittsburgh included getting a manicure and pedicure with my godmother, getting coffee, and then going to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner then the movies. We also went to Dave and Busters after the movie! We saw the new Captain America movie and it was amazing! My second day, we went up the Duquesne Incline to see the whole city of Pittsburgh and then my godmother and I went shopping at the outlet mall where I got my cartilage pierced. For dinner that night, we went to Pimantri Brother's which is famous for their french fries and cole slaw on sandwiches. My last day consisted of watching a Pirates game and then going to dinner at Red Robin. I would most definitely move to Pittsburgh if I could because I love being with my godparents. I also love the hills you drive over and the scenery you see everywhere you go.
