Walking up to the door, we took in the scenery of a family of four sitting at a dark, brown circular table, hanging out as if this was the place to be. As soon as we walked in the door, the mouth watering smell of sweet, burning, crispy bacon and pepperoni enticed me. We hadn’t eaten all day and this was our first time in this particular place. I knew this experience would be great when I saw just how many people it attracted. It attracted people of many backgrounds and of many ages. I realized
How does the University of Chicago, as you know it now, satisfy your desire for a particular kind of learning, community, and future? Please address with some specificity your own wishes and how they relate to UChicago. I received a card that contained a list of all the fictional characters that attended UofChicago, and with Indiana Jones and Kitty Pryde on the list, I knew that UofChicago would be the place I’d like to attend. It’s not because 2 incredibly smart but incredibly fake characters “attended”
time I considered it “the biggest city ever”. Now 4 years later I am visiting there again. I never really imagined getting the chance to go to the extraordinary city of Chicago again. But I guess everything in life happens for a reason. So I decided, why not go again! The first thing I wanted to see in Chicago was the “Chicago Bean”.

The Art Institute of Chicago that I had known months ago was completely different. The lions looked friendly, the trees looked, and the entrance was covered with plants. This was probably because they decorated the building for the holidays.

Last night I made the 65 minute trip to Mechanicsburg, Ohio to take in the division six ,region 24 playoff game, between undefeated Mechanicsburg(10-0) and 7-3 Miami East. This was my first time seeing Miami East play. I was hoping to see a battle for four quarters, but felt the home team was going to be moving to week twelve. This one started out strangely, when Kaleb Romero, the Indians quarterback was picked off on the games third play, but a big hit on the Miami East player resulted in a fumble
geometric gold leaf pattern brightened up what must have been a very dark and dreary looking space. As much as I enjoyed the interior, I also loved the massive arched doorway and large brick facades on the outside. I learned that the building had a Chicago School architectural style.

Anna walked subdued by the beauty
