thanks dave
Iโm like second 307 ๐
Oh you'll be fine!
Pretty far back but itโs fine Iโm glad I got a ticket 
no so real
You're still up front though
i think its a canon event for the first concert to have bad seats

so im not tripping ๐ซก
chicago subway when it's full isn't too bad
the blue line after the dreamland concert was insane
Level Up! You are now level 3!
so crowded
one time was on the subway and saw some guys with a fucking 12 pack of beer
Omg merc this is ur first concert
im going to be so fr there ARE but theyre chill
IM SO EXCITED FIR YOU!

That's good then!
if you mind ur business youโll be fine
i remember having a life conversation with a random man at 4 am waiting on the train
it was actually really nice
will they be selling alcohol at the venue which is why they said no alcohol allowed
probably not
lmao
i also have gummies, maybe i can take one before the concert too
like just a quarter of one tho, a whole one just knocks me tf out lmao
But what if they come up to me ๐ญ
who ๐ญ
the homeless people? it's okay, you'll be fine
they're not dangerous, from my experiences
floating a sticker idea since im making stickers to bring to the concert: round sticker of the chicago flag with a pineapple on it?? holographic possibly?
or they haven't been towards me
yay :D
if anything you might find me and rain (look for a large person and a short person) ๐
yeah, might be better to travel in a group at least
๐คฃ๐คฃ
Iโm the short person ๐
Short people unite!!!
Whoop whoop
i am like an average 5'6 

Same 
short people in pit ๐ (save me)
Shove a step stool in ur bag
Loophole
๐ซก

Hehe

I WILL FIND A WAY
Reverse psychology I wonโt fall for it
my housing selection was already done
August 28th is the day that fall semester starts FUCK guess I'll try to sneak out of class..
itโs gonna be sylly day just skip
Fingers crossed our class ends at like 4
mine ends at 3, but I saw on reddit people saying go to the place earlier(like 3 hours earlier before the show starts??)
how do yโall have your fall schedules already ๐ฆ
i dont
but i am going to pick my classes in!!! two weeks
๐
breaks someones hand HELP ME.

Bruh Iโm screwed I havenโt picked a schedule or done anything
my school made everyone select their classes like five months before next semester hahaha
my semester usually starts in september tho
same (rn)

i donโt register until LATE MAY ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

i think
good luck!!!
depends on your orentation
rain are u the one going to UW

you should work on your schedule during SOAR (our orientation)
unless the other UWs are different

so real
im first gen so im just falling through it hoping for the best
Ty bea
it truly isnt that scary
once your settled you just.. exist

then again im not like heavy in the clubs or sororities (im quite honestly just staring at them in confusion)
same
i was big in the student newspaper until i got a job at a local tv station
so i guess i was in a club pretty heavily but
lil differnet
I def wonโt be joining a sorority they scare me

thank god greek life is dead at my college
they should ngl
they can be so culty ๐ญ
i am staying out of the general tour of earth thread is that a good idae
I am too Iโve been chilling here it feels cozy
it seems busyyyy
it definitely is!
Lots of ppl stressing
i think canada or mexico is up next on the presale chopping block
Which was me like 2 hours ago
Same here
but still got 3 pit tickets so
oh could you not get pit ticks?
i wanted vip SO bad but i can't justify two tickets for $753 so im happy with pits
lol I saw that
aahhhh
I'm too short for pit
jesus
I went from 999 to 1 and started panicking

i was genuiney about to start rocing bak and forth like spongebob
im too short for pit but i got fast pass so!
i am 5'10" and the two people i'm coming with are like 5'4" and 5'6"
Sweet!!!
can we trade heights bro
I was contemplating vip but not worth it in my opinion. If I could meet them then that'll be different
Frrr!!!!
You donโt want trinkets :O
Agreed Merc!
im an artits ill make my own damn trinkets
real but trinkets..
tbh being shorter would be nice for gender but
Ha ha ha
i am a simple soul i dont need name brand

oh we should def swap then ๐
๐

Level Up! You are now level 34!

If ga is ur first concert than nothing will top this trust it was an epic experience
tbh it will be hell until the actual opener/band comes on bc its waiting and your feet hurt
ga concerys are the best
Missed every other tours they did in the past due to covid lockdown in China
Holy shit I bet the post concert depression is gonna hit hard๐
okay so protection, water, eat before i go 
It does

He grab some snackies
Are we allowed to bring food?

๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
ill be crying on the way back on my hands and knees looking for a knife i put in the bushes
Oh nooo

Iโll be with an emotionally wrecked merc
Lol

Imma throw water in ur face that should help
It will it will 

One of us has to say vigilante

AUUUGHH

through text
im not trying to get bonked by my ra
How does one practice scream through text
like this
like this lmao
๐
lmaooo
I guess that a was more of a frusteration grunt
lmaooooo
this feels so surreal to have VIP tickets to GA
I don't know how to ACT
act UP
Go crazy
WOOOOOOOOOOOOH
I think I saw somewhere that you can call Ticketmaster within 24 hours and ask for a refund (ik it says non refundable but maybe you can try )
I may have to cause my parents arenโt letting me go 
Oh no I'm so sorry RA1N and thank you for the info!
Itโs okay Iโm glad yall got tickets ๐ซถ๐ฝ
Darn though it would've been cool to see you though!
Man I wish I got VIP tickets
at least I got some tho
they cant stop you if your not in texas anymore 
Y'all VIP jumped from $280 each to $340 each in a matter of two hours๐ญ ticketmaster is such a whore for our money bro
Level Up! You are now level 2!
Nahhh seriously??? 
fr walked out paying like 790 USD lmao
Iโd do that but I already got a ton of merch before getting the tickets 
I wish I had gotten the Limited Edition vinyl๐ญ
felt that bro
Watch them 
Theyโre just scared so I get why but I really wanna go 
yolo ra1n yolo๐
tell them youll text them the hour before and the hour after 
concerts have security and bag checks and like minded people- very safe spaces!
Yeah and I have been to one but theyโre just scared Iโm moving to a whole different state 
Ticket prices jumped! Wtf!!!
Maybe I can convince them luckily we have some time
That's fucked up!
Damn! How much
I saw someone come in the morning and was just yelling and cussing out ga I was very confused ๐ซฃ
Some ppl need to chill 
Ugh
its funny how a few places in the tour of earth topics only have like 10 chats
bro every band is going through this right now- we're just lucky ticket scalpers aren't playing with us rn tbh
they will 
I was thinking that when I joined- like "omg this ticket sale is going to be so wild the chat is Poppin off"
lmao don't worry between now and then I'll contribute more
bc I'm so excited to meet everyone

GIRLLLLL just now I got a break from work I've been wanting to scream for hours straight ๐ญ๐ญโค๏ธโค๏ธ
I got my tickets while in a meeting lol
They way I SNATCHED this tickets bro ๐ญ never been faster in my life ๐โโ๏ธ
If I don't see my bank account it doesn't exist
I fought for Chicago Pit and had 1 hr to reset and fight for my life at Red Rocks
i was making indecisons left and right but i still snagged a ticket
idek how you could get to red rocks, a real trooper for that
OMG That's nerve wrecking ๐ญ
I almost cried bc at checkout FOR SOME REASON IT KICKED ME OUT
AND I WAS LOOSING IT
Ugh
how have we talked more in here then they hve in there 
I had a fucking ticket selected and it Said sorry someone already bought it
I was pissed
But when I got back into my account luckily it was still at checkout so everything went well
I was shaking bro
Oh no
ive only just now calmed down
NOOOO
Not me coming here from the RR channel lol
I was so scared that was gonna happen
Ugh!!! Yeah 
For ticketmaster it kept telling me I was a bot
Wtf
i heard that was happening with the red rocks one
didnt understnd
will not be trying to experience it either
No joke, tries two computers and my phone and only got through once I used my DATA. ๐คฎ๐คฎ

That's the one!
Dang
Ticketmaster has always said my wifi - no matter whose it is - is unsafe and kicks me out
Did anyone else get VIP pit (ga)?
I did!
I went straight to it while shaking the whole time lol
I just went for getting tickets even though I canโt go anymore
This is my first glass animals concert so I said go big or go home
At least I still kinda have my dignity 
What do you mean you can't go anymoreeee ๐ญ
Itโs okay itโs okay yall better send a shit ton of videos and pic 
Parental figures ๐

ill take you to the art museum or something
Ty 
maybe they will rebuke what they said ๐ญ
I'm so sorry you can't go rain!
I'll try to take many videos and pictures as humanly possible!
try to convince them ๐
I shall try my best. Imma make an entire presentation
do you need the directions too ๐
especially if you already bought them!
For real though! 
Bc weโre cool
I was able to get a refund on my ticket and I purchased a closer seat!!! Omg!!! So fucking excited!!!
Yeah it's open
I hope it doesn't rain lmao
For real!
@earnest berry how old are you, jw
18
well, you wouldn't be gone long, right?
I think their issue is Iโm moving to a different state for school and thatโs the first time theyโve had to deal with that
ohhhh
I mean I have some fam in Chicago and stuff so Iโm gonna try to convince them. I think itโll work out and worse case scenario I can give my ticket to someone else who really wants to go
i really hope things work out for you ๐
ofc! i just want everyone to have a good time :3
I just talked to my dad he was so nice about it. He said we will work it out
There is hope yโall 
yay!!
tell them you got a friend from Chicago ๐ญ
I will start sharing the location from expaxtlt where you need to go what needs to happen what time I will take you


Awwww man I wanted to meet you in person too but you gotta do what you gotta do. ๐ญ
Imma manifest it. IT WILL HAPPEN
Yes!!! Tell your parents it's a one in a lifetime experience!!! ๐ญ
hold on im going to make this happen goddamn it 
Level Up! You are now level 17!
do i have to make a powerpoint because i will
Bud canโt turn in an essay on time but wants to make a power point
Go for it merc
๐คฃ
Any of you going to Lolla this year?
I thought about it, but only if they do a day pass lol
I donโt wanna do the 490 pass since Iโll only be in Chicago till the 3rd
They have them available Nick!
I'm going Saturday only. It's expensive and I accidentally bought the stupid + one which was unnecessary but I think it'll be okay. Nice bathrooms. Lol
Awesomeness! ๐

i hope it'll be more than once for me, at least in the future
Yes!!! You all need to go out and have fun while you can!!!
when is that usually
August 1-4
This year it's August 1-4th
ohhh okay yeah, i figured
the IRL retweet lmao
Ha ha ha
we sometimes go on vacation around then, we always see cars and buses full of people in them on the expressway as we drive towards chicago lmao
the windows are down, they're blasting music, sometimes standing up and looking through the sunroof of the car....
it seems like a lot of fun, but waaayyyyyyy too crowded for me
glass animals concert will be bad enough XD
Ha ha ha!!! True that! I did go back in 2019 and it was a nightmare... Hopefully this year it will be calmed but who knows! Ugh! I hope I don't regret but I'll have fun!
GA is adding another show to Chicago!
Hi! I have been at work all day bahaha
Oh shit
Anyone thinking of doing both days??
Yeah,
Like one day just living for the vip and the next day scrambling for the tour merch lol
If thereโs tour merch
Yes to this- my friend and I are going to go all in on the VIP experience one night and do back of pit the second so we can move and dance and just enjoy the absolute insanity that is GA music
Dayummmmm second night imagine my parents say yet to that ๐
Gonna show them mercs pres tn ๐ค๐ช๐ป
Rain you need to be like "well if it happened safely for one night, it's sure to be safe the second night too!"
lol yesssssssss
I hope we can all connect at the show- slay discord besties โค๏ธ
Yessss
I donโt think Iโmma bother with second night, first night was already so expensiveeeee 
fr, I'm not sure if i'm gonna do night 2 but i'm really thinking about it. just depends on my friend. lol
we should all connect in the barricade! lol lol
GA DISCORD peeps
Yea same Iโm just glad most of us were able to get tickets for the first show :)
Now you guys are convincing me to go both days
And hopefully the people that didnโt can try for the second show
True that! We should leave those tickets for them!
Iโll convince you not to. Use the second night ticket money on merch at the first night show ๐
Yes!!! Thank you RA1N 
Yessss
I might splurge on a fast pass though... To get early access
A fast Lane doesn't give you early access. it's pretty much like a when you got to a theme park and theres a speedy lane that goes by quicker cause no one buys it, and then a regular lane
So, you'd still get in at the same time as Gen Admission lol
VIP is the only way to get early access
allegedly
Ah I see! Thanks Nick!
yeah! I bought VIP and Fast Lane, before I did the research ๐ญ lol
Fast Lane could be a good investment though if you feel you'll be in the way back of the line
I could think about it
does anyone know where i can direct question to the Huntington Bank pavilion?
I've been looking for an e-amil but can't find one lmao
+1 312-540-2668 is the number offered
For most venues, fast pass will que separately from the GA AND they will go through early bag and ID check so that once doors open they are all already to go into the venue. Although that's not EARLY, it does make a difference!
Gotcha!
thank you abbi
I'm trying to message their facebook firstly lol
Thanks for the info Abbi
At House of Blues CHI, fast pass DOES go in 15 minutes before doors, so that's isn't unheard of, but it sounds like that's not the case for this venue. I can check later too
Abbi coming in CLUTCH, tysm
I mean, If Huntington says that my fast lane isn't quicker than my early access, I can transfer it over to you @lyric atlas
just so you don't have to spend the extra $15 lol
Sounds good! Let me know!
will do!
VIP is run through the artist, so I know for sure VIP will enter first and before doors. But it is always nice to have your fast lane pass go to someone else to help them out too
BAHAHA I am in my concert era and I always invest in VIP and fast pass so I KNOW how to navigate it lol
How early do they open the doors for VIP usually? does it just depend?
My Texan friend said that sometimes they let you go in like 2 hours early lmao
but idk
typically 30 minutes before doors, and before that they'll come out and help check folks in and maybe give them their merch packages
Definitely not 2 hours, unless they have sound check invovled lolll
yeah, I don't think this VIP has soundcheck involved but I guess we'll find out closer to the date
lol
They'll also send out an email I think it said 3 days in advance so that'll be helful
helful indeed lmao
August is way too far away bruh I am so pumped
I wonder if theres going to be a virtual commemorative ticket. I eat that shit up lmaooo
FOR REAL! 4 whole months
plenty of time to plan outfits tho
Bahaha I might wear what I wore last time
I made it into their promotional video for this tour- so I'm guessing it matched the vibes
but maybe I'll change to space theme
YOU'RE KIDDING!
that's so lit Abbi!
I have the "I โค๏ธ Glass Animals" sign and the like fruity shirt haha if you look towards the second half of it
me patiently waiting to see rains results like
๐ฟ
I attempted to show but mother was too tired from work
WAIT WHAT WHERE
Omg I just read about the fast lane pass? In my panic I did the exact same thing and bought it ๐ญ๐ญ I didn't know I could transfer it!! So if anyone wants it you can tell me ๐
Level Up! You are now level 4!
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5WwlLys41K/?igsh=MTNoeXUxdWk3cnJvdw== watch at :43 seconds I'm in the fruity shirt; and at :39 you can see my poster (:
usually what I do is I transfer it to someone who's out there waiting in line close to doors. I don't get my money's worth BUT it does go to use at least that way.
Thatโs a good idea! Abbi the knowledge queen
Also, rewatched the video and saw your sign! So cool!
wait wdym ?
the fast lane pass??
ahh i was wanting to buy that, it doesnt come with the pit admission right?
No, the Fast Lane is a $15 dollar add on
usually they'll have some available at the box office too day of (it's really just a money maker for them) ๐ซก
Level Up! You are now level 5!
You can now send files & embed links in the server
You now have access to #serious
You can toggle access with id:customize
Make sure to read the pins before you use it!

For all of those, who wanted to bring a Polaroid or such things, and more info on the vip, fast lane, and general admission ๐
Awesome! Thanks for the info Nick!
I wish they would let us bring a DSLR it's not like I'm going to sell the pictures...
Yeah, if you have a photo pass, you could definitely bring a DSLR
but usually they only give Photo passes to media/magazine peeps.
There are however, Camera's that are DSLR like that don't have detachable lenses and are a lot smaller, like Canon Powershots
that would be amazing! I wish I could work for a magazine taking pictures! It's been my dream! ๐ญ
i mean i work in news but Chicago is uhhh a little outside our viewing area
easiest solution
go to college > become a journalism major > go into debt > get a job (level impossible) > get the camera
slash j ๐
i am on step 4

as in am journalism major and have job
there are a lot of small companies that hire on contractors and freelancer photographers so def check for some
AND if they have a photographer touring with them sometimes a DM goes a long way seeing if you can get a photo pass- but that also means you'll be in front of the barricade not in the pit. and you usually only get the first three songs to photograph
Omg thanks for the info!
Ha ha ha!!! Right!
Easy peasy thatโs enough time
lol
if speed runners can speed run a 100 hour game I can speed run enough classes
Ha ha ha
I am really nervous about the timing to get to the venue
Me too, I have no idea when to lineup for VIP
๐ค
for vip the email will indicate the best time to get there, usually 1 hr before check in
overall, it just depends on what kinda experience you want for the show tbh
I've heard that this venue is hard to navigate parking wise bc it's an island
Oh that's good to know! I also wanted to know more or less at what time should I be there lol
And yeaaaaah I saw where the venue is, I've been there, there's no much parking space for what I can remember. It's usually very far ๐
I'll take a Lyft there, I don't own a car anyways ๐ค
ooh thank you so much for the information!!
Do you know what you'd? barricade? close? back of the pit?
Oh I'd love to be up close, or barricade ๐ฅบ
Oh my goodness I thought I could take the train to get to it ๐ญ
I should get the vip parking pass lmao
omg they are 104 dollars
what is the best way to get there? lmao is there a free lot?
lol
actually /j
it's $55
i was looking at ticket squeeze
but clearly they just want to squeeze out all my money

OOF
THERE 55 today too but I think they are sold out for the 28th ๐ญ
i checked prices for the show on the 29th and im kinda surprised tickets are still available lol
jesus, thats a lot of seats still
Uber or by train
people shit on the red line and public transit so bad but ITS A FIVE DOLLAR TICKET FOR FULL DAY ACCESS

FIVE RIPE DOLLARS

bruh I was literally going to buy one yesterday and didnt
I think there's still a long time between now and August tbh
Will the train go straight to Huntington bank pavilion
I know I love the red line Lowkey
the 28th sold out really quickly tho
okay so
it's the red line > I believe the 147? or something ok that go check Google maps
well, not fully sold out yet
but then your RIGHT there
surprising
Thank you so much merc ๐ญ Iโd be lost without you
always remember
Iโve only been to Chicago once for like 3 days lol
Google maps is a lifesaver in chicago
Noted!
there's also a week pass if your staying longer
Is Apple Maps pretty bad?
Iโll be in Chicago for just 2 days lol that time around anyways
Oh my god ๐ฑ do the locals use the ventra app?!
it's free and it'll tell you the times on when the trains/buses come
I use it religiously
Merc youโre extra saving my life rn
Do you scan to get on with the app or do you have to carry a physical ventra card?
Carey the physical card
there's little atms for it at every train station
this is the app ๐
and it will help you if your looking for specific places
I just bought one just now!!
YOUโRE KIDDING?!
I went to the desktop site and couldnโt find one ๐ญ

Weird question, how do I get a physical ventra card?!
Lmao
glad you asked
go on ticketmaster- and search the venue. then go through their add ONS it's in there still
so there's physical ATMs usually in the train stations
I don't think they do physical cAdds anymore?? I use digital
Iโm most likely going to need one for my trip on July 30th-August 3rd lol
and they're blue and grey and have VENTRA written all over them
I use the physical cards idk
it's easier for me
I ordered mine online and never got the choice๐
I don't have an apple phone so i don't know how that works on your end ๐๐
A physical card would probably be better for me anyways in case my mum shuts off my phone to be petty lol
and you'll have a lot of choices from buying an actual card you can reload multiple times to day passes
they take cash and credit/debit so your fine on that end
Iโll be scavenging to find a ventra card lol
Maybe theyโll have one at argyle station
just go to a train station lmao
they should
I was on argyle going and there's usually kne
if your nice and lucky, you might be able to convince the people to let you on for free
especially bus drivers ๐ซข
Goodness
I can sweet talk the house down boots
The vip parking tickets are sold out now the website says lmao
Actually saving my life
Does the app have built in gps
Like if you tell it you wanna go somewhere, it'll navigate for you?
yall- unrelated
but I want this so badly bro๐ซฃ๐ญ I hope they release more bc I missed out the first time
I got one ๐
I unfortunately did not๐ญ๐ซฃ
i was late because i have a stardew addiction however unfortunately it does not
thats why i said use google maps if you wanna actually KNOW where to stop and go ๐ซก
lol valid reason to be late
im romancing hayley ive been here for hours 
Iโm a penny girly (DONT CALL HER BORING OR ILL CRY)
Penny has so much lore stardew needs to delve into it more
please don't let them my heart can't take it thanks <3
I would just take the metra and Uber there ๐ฌ it's an 11 min drive
But that's just me...
guys.
have u seen. the mf. venue.
ITS MASSIVE IM ACTUALLY LOWK SCARED
TAYLOR SWIFT AHH VENUE WTFF ๐ญ
Yeah that venue is huge! Which is why I wanted a close up seat!
if i wasn't restricted to the CTA (why would I pay for something when I could get it for free...) I would

I'll be seeing them in 8-bit
Very true!
I also just know the train better so 
Itโs MASSIVE
I'm coming in from Wisconsin and I'm genuinely so nervous about how complex this venue seems๐๐ฌ
Fr! I didnโt calculate the fact itโs ON AN ISLAND lol
my friend who's going with me literally FaceTimed me to rant about it the other day before ticket sales like๐คก
I have no idea what that means for getting into line and all lmao hope it's easy to navigate
Right, and the VIP parking is at the planetarium
So no matter what youโre going to have to walk
But we might just take the red line to the venue
I think normal parking is $30 dollars
wait did we ever discover what's VIP about the parking?
It gets you closer to the venue, thatโs it lol
And itโs a guaranteed parking spot
But I donโt know fully
Didnโt you buy the vip parking?
It should be in the details section of your ticket
lmao yeah but I'm not set on using it
Wuuuut
bro if it's a hastle I'm not bothering with it๐๐ฌ
I'm gonna investigate between now and august
Fair! If you canโt get it refunded maybe you could transfer it to me ๐ ๐ and Iโll pay you for it lol
/j
lmaoo well the money is already gone so if I don't use it I'd be fine transferring it
but def won't know a plan until August๐
Oh sweet! Yeah just let us know ๐ค
Nick are you 18+? you don't have to answer if you don't want to
I just try to be respectful and mostly just talk to 18+ online๐๐๐
Iโm 24 lol
slay I'm 23 lmaoo
Slaaaay
We finna be in the pit
Lily and I are going together lol for context
My first time being a VIP!
Thank you!!! Canโt wait to meet yall and party!!
twas what ive been saying WHOS GOING T PAY 30 for parking it aint ME 
I said we could take an Uber but someone insists on the train
I'm probably taking a train
but worried about the massive amount of people that will be at train station after concert

maybe I should walk all the way from loop to that island ..fuck๐
Level Up! You are now level 2!
we can take it BACK but we are taking that damn train to it 
its a good mile and a half walk
๐ซก
That island is somewhere near the aquarium right
I walked all the way to shedd aquarium once and it feels gooood
but in winter tho
I would melt if I do that in August
yar
you gotta turn a bit once you do get to the aquarium
in august with all the rising heat.. not so much
though it IS by the lake
if thats.. any consultation
Fine ๐
๐ญguess i take the train or bus then
I heard the Uber is super expensive to get back from the event due to everyone leaving at the same time lol
I think a safe option is the train
maybe i will book a hotel for the night, drive there, and catch train
Is there a hotel close to HBP?
Yes there's a Hilton, Hampton, Best Western but never stayed at those.
august can't come fast enough๐ซฃ๐
literally!
thinking about booking at the Hilton, cause then its a 30 minute walk, just incase the uber can't get through the traffic when the concert is over lol
Hotel is booked! wooh!
For one night it was $306 USD but that doesnโt include parking
Parking would be an addition $69 at the hotel Iโm staying at
But the hotel is not far at all
And I got a lake view room wooh!
That's awesome!
Right! So excited

For REAL! ๐ญ๐ญ first time hearing it on the radio in IOWA of all places ๐ญ
FR!
no offense to any iowans
but
when i went a couple times
theres a specific town
that smels like cow poop ALL
THE
TIME
No literally Iowans all suck and listen to country music
And everyoneโs so rude too
RIGHT OMG???
I THOUGHT I WAS JUST BEING MEAN BUT MY GOD EVERYONE I MET WAS SOOO RUDE
Oh yea, certain parts of Iowa smell absolutely TERRIBLE!
I live in the city so the air is fresh thankfully lmao
thank god bc wtf ๐ญ i went to sum lil town for a holiday and i just
i hated it sm ๐
Oh no, everyone is a menace and HATE people. Midwest nice doesnโt exist here lmao
istgg midwest nice is limited to illinois wtf ๐ญ
midwest emos wya ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ
Literallllly, everyone in Chicago would be SO NICE to me!
RAHHH WE REPRESENT
but im fr glad to hear that
I stg almost quit my job and MOVED to Chicago because everyone was so complimentary
And it was culturally diverse!
NOOO WAY?
FR! last summer had me really debating lol
you should move here tho ๐
its SOOO diverse here ngl but where i live atm im more in a korean neighbourhood
Im thinking about it, but its SO expensive, and i dont wanna be homeless in Chicago ๐ the homeless there SCARE ME
but my current high school is insanely diverse like its genuinely crazy
PLSS no dont go to chicago its way too expensive its better in the suburbs
Where Iโm at, Iโm surrounded by white people. There is barely any diversity and it sucks. lol
i currently live in the morton grove evanston skokie area and its relatively affordable
depending on how close you are to the lake
Iโll have to look into that!
eugh no you learn sooo much just about humans in general when ur surrounded by ethnically rich neighbourhoods n all and def these suburbs are that
and this area honestly is pretty nice like everything is v walkable theres trains metra buses for free
its a very tight knit community everyone rly helps each other out
and if you are looking for smth to do you either go to target for fun or hop a 30 min drive to downtown
Love love love that
i really love where i currently live deff reccomend
YAYAY best of luck to you nickkk
are you in college atm or?
No, after high school a took a couple years to heal, and then a took a couple more to see what fields I was interested in. Iโm thinking about starting schooling in the next couple years. I have a passion for environmental science ๐
Agriculture and such
I leave for dinner and get back to Iowa slander๐ญ๐ perfect
ugh thats so cool im happy for you
best of luck to you and your future :)
if you are looking for unis in chicago, there are some pretty great options. im ps uic is good for environmental science from what i hear
that or northwestern
im most likely ending up at uic next year bc uhmm my family is poor but not poor enough for fafsa to consider us poor ๐๐ i CANNOT drop 80k a year
id say it again 
it stops at evanston ๐ซก
truly it does
go too north and the mfs will look at you wrong
or maybe its because im a minority 
ITS ONE OF THEM 
as much as i say i hate chicago i do love this silly city
do not go downtown dawg.. hell.. STAY OUT OF COOK COUNTY ๐
thats literally all it is
its so expensive for no reason ill see gas go from like 3.50 to a whole 4.95 
so yeah
it depends where you are in chicago
Last time I stayed at a hotel near I think it was Argyle station (or one of the red lines) and I was greeted by a man covered in uh red liquid ๐ begging for money
My friend grabbed me firmly by the arm and said donโt look at him lol
you dont
ahh yes the city
learn that quickly tourist or not 
do NOT look at the homeless unless you either a, genuinely believe they need the money or b, theyre not covered in the human liquids tm
Though I did ride in the back of the train at 3 am a couple times which is apparently a no no too
dont do it alone
All I kept hearing was the โmurder trainโ
redline at 3am isnt the best, if i ride the redline at that time its because im going to a marathon ๐
with an entire group of people
we take up the whole car so ๐
You extra safe lmao
๐ซก
4am is usually safe
even then
its when people are just trying to get to work dawg
