Today was an interesting day. I have been able to reconnect with a friend from when I lived in Chicago before. He was a roommate of mine back then and we did not get along while living together. Our personalities clashed quite a bit. However, I remembered us be the best of friends before we moved in together. I wanted to give the friendship a shot, despite the fact that I was incredibly nervous. The nights being a lot warmer here than back home, I was definitely not dressed for the amount of walking we would be doing. It was sweaty and miserable, at least until I had a beer in my hand.

I've heard on several occasions that beer brings people closer, and in this regard it was correct. We picked up where we left off. That is left off before we were roommates. I was excited to have a very close friend back. A friend, for that matter, who wasn't affiliated with my school. This way I can escape the small community that is Loyola. Hopefully as we hang out in the future, things continue to go in the right direction.
