Dads Weekend

Dads Weekend So, Im writing you all today on my 20th birthday. Happy birthday to me! I took a break from dancing to tell you about how my Dads Weekend here at Illinois went. I was lucky enough that both my mom and dad came down to Champaign-Urbana to visit me. I havent seen my parents since Move-In Day back in August, so it was nice being with them. They even brought me a brownie cake with frosting and blue and orange sprinkles. You bet the blue and orange sprinkles were there for a reason! I showed my parents the fraternity I live  in and introduced them to my roommates parents. They loved how clean my fraternity house was and the brotherhood displayed the whole weekend. My fraternity catered in Black Dog BBQ, so we had delicious brisket  and pork too. We also chilled out in my living room to watch  the Fighting Illini football team take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. I heard the game at Memorial Stadium had over 55,000 peopleâ€"what a wonderful display of Illini pride! Its too bad the Illini lost, but they put up a good fight against a  great Ohio State team. Theres nothing like Big Ten sports. It was the making  of a perfect Dads Weekend. Even the weather cooperated! Although slightly chilly, the sun was out, making it comfortable to walk around. Green Street was filled with Illini and their families, which was a pretty cool sight to see. My parents and I went to the bookstore, and my father, who is an Illinois College of Media alumni, bought an Illinois alumni mug. Anyway, Dads Weekend is always a good time. Its a chance for  your parents and loved ones to  come down and see what life as an Illini is like. It was great family bonding time, and I cant wait to be home with them for Thanksgiving next week. 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!
