My Time at Illinois in Photos

My Time at Illinois in Photos Im graduating. Im graduating in four days. And Im really excited because Nick Offerman is our Commencement speaker, and for a whole host of other reasons that have to do with that fact that Im about to earn a college degree! When college is at its most brutal, its hard to imagine getting to this point, so Im trying my best to enjoy  the weather and the sights these last few days. Its been a crazy, brilliant, too-speedy-quick four years. Heres my time at Illinois (in a handful of  photos): Jarlings is my favorite ice cream place in Champaign. Hit up a friend with a car or hop a bus and make the trip. Its worth it, if only for the lemon custard. A photo from summer 2016 at Japan House. Thats my good friend Taylor. We both spent a (very fun) summer here in Champaign-Urbana, working and exploring the area. Taken my first day of class this year in front of the Illini Union! SERIOUSLY feels like just yesterday. A throwback to freshman year, when I spent way too much time napping in the Illini Union. Public napping: a staple of college life. My actual Day 1, Megan. Megan and I met the first day of Allen Hall Orientation, and we cant seem to shake each other. Weve also been roommates for the past three years. I love her with all my heart! This is a pic from freshman year, too (you can tell from the lanyard around my neck). Two of my faves: the Admissions and Records Building (where Ive been Editorial Intern for the past year) and Cracked. Thats a Plan B, a super tasty veggie wrap. Andrew Bird is one of my favorite singer/songwriters, and he came to Canopy Club, a music venue that is located literally on campus. He was fantastic, and my friends and I even nabbed front row. Wandering through Rome (note the tiny, European car) in December 2015, following a semester spent as an exchange student in England. My memories from studying abroad are some of my best from college. A photo I snapped of my boyfriend while we were studying together in the Main Librarys Reading Room (my favorite study spot) a few weeks ago. Austen and I also met in Allen Hall, and hes been my partner in crime these past two years! This isnt the last youll be hearing from me, so look out! Maggie Class of 2017 After starting my time at Illinois Undeclared in the Division of General Studies, I’m majoring in English and Economics with a minor in Informatics from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
