                      This past weekend was a weekend full of studying and hanging out with friends. On  Friday, me and my friends went to a social gathering in Plainfield. When we got there, we found out  that the gathering is actually in a mansion. There was an outdoor, in ground pool, a basketball court,  and even a lake behind their home. We ended going on a boat ride and having the best time ever.  Saturday was a day devoted to studying.

It was a very special opportunity that we couldn't pass up. When we arrived, I got to reconnect with some of my closest cousins and family members. I was the nicest time I had in a while. Poland is my favorite spot to vacation in because, in my opinion, it's always a blast from the past. I was born in Poland and lived there until I was 8 until my parents decided to start a new life in Chicago. While in Poland, I got to attend a lot of concerts and carnivals with my favorite cousins. We shared lots of laughs and made many new memories that I will never forget. When the wedding day approached us, I was more excited than ever. I knew my closest family is going to attend the wedding and that's what made the thought of it so great. I ended up catching the veil and having the t...
