So, I went on a couple trips before the new years rang in. I got out of school for Christmas break on December 5th. I went home for a week and then the second week of break, I went on a secret trip with one of my friends. Obviously, it is a secret so I can spill too many deats. All I will say is it was amazing and I want to go back oh so badly!!
The second trip I went on was over new years, my parents, me, and my best friend, Hannah, went to Chicago, IL! I'd never been to Chicago, let alone IL. We drove, which sucked. It was 10 hours there plus an hour or so of stopping for restroom and eating breaks. We went straight to my parents friends house, who lives maybe 20-30 minutes out from Chicago. It was late that night so we ate at my parents friends house and went to the hotel to sleep. The next day, my best friend and I went into Chicago. We took a taxi straight to the Willis Tower (previously, the Sears Tower). We went out on the SkyDeck ledge. For those of you who don't know, the SkyDeck is a glass box over the city. You can look straight down. We were 103 stories up looking out over Chicago. It was amazing. If you go to my Instagram @libbygillies you can see pictures!
We also went to the bean! The infamous bean! It was amazing! You can also see pictures of the bean on my insta. We also tried a pizza place that day before heading back. It wasn't that great of pizza, we tried the wrong place obviously.
That night was New Years. It sucked. My parents wouldn't let us go back into the city to watch fireworks so we sat in the dorm room while everyone partied around us. We were pissed. My parents were out all night. So the next day, we went to Hard Rock Cafe with my parents in Chicago. Then we separated from them and just walked around Chicago. We didn't really go anywhere specific, just walked around seeing the place. It was absolutely beautiful. I loved Chicago. I want to go back. We only stayed for two full days. The next day, January 2nd, we came home. I went back to college on January 5th. So I was out for a complete month.
I got another piercing before Christmas break though. So now I have 9. I wasn't supposed to get the 9th apparently, but I didn't know. My dad was just a bit pissed. He told me that if I get another, I can pay for college. Like woah. There's a fuck ton of things I can't do before I graduate and if I do do them, I can pay for myself. Piercings is one of them. I don't like having an odd number though. I want to get both tragus's (not sure if I spelled that right, tragus'?), and a triple forward helix. That would give me 14 and that would be even. I'd be okay with that. UGH, I want so many piercings. Then, I want my nose but that would put my at 15, lol. 15 is okay though. Even though it's odd, 15 would be fine. Oddly enough.
The list of things I can't do are:
- no tattoos
- no more piercings
- no apartments
- can't get married
- no nose ring (specifically)
- No skydiving
That may be it. Let's do all of them, lol.
Thanks for reading!
