Finals Study Break Catch Up With Old Friends

Finals Study Break Catch Up With Old Friends Its the beginning of Finals Week and every Illini is probably busy hitting the books at any of U of Is great libraries. Ha, thats not me when I study though. Im not too worried when I study since its easy to concentrate in many of the libraries, especially the Undergraduate Library, fantastically located next to the Main Quad. Theres a Quiet Floor which enables me to have 100% concentration when I study. However, when Im not hitting the books and studying for my upcoming Advertising and Sociology final, I figured it was time for a study break. The great thing about Finals time here on campus is that there are tons of unstructured free- time for a nice study break. I decided to use my study break to the fullest and catch up with some old friends I actually met at Weston, a University Housing Dorm located in the Ikenberry Commons (which I totally recommend living there by the way!). Its a Learning Living Community, specifically for DGS students to explore majors! Anyways, I decided to reach out to my old friends from Weston Hall, Melanie and Julie. I was hungry for lunch and so were they. We decided to take advantage of what Green Street had to offer. Were very fortunate for Green Street as it has a ton of nice restaurants with delicious food. We decided Panera was a great place to catch up on how our years were and plans for the Summer. The campus may have 40,000 students, but its easy to make and maintain friends. Ive been friends with these girls for over a year and times like these make me thankful I lived in Weston and ultimately the U of I. Now its time for me to go back to studying! Daniel Class of 2018 I’m an Advertising major in the College of Media. I’m from a northwest suburb of Chicago called Buffalo Grove. I chose Illinois because it was the first university in the entire world to offer an Advertising major, which is pretty cool!
