		<description><![CDATA[If you Chicagoans have ventured outside in the past couple weeks, you’ve most likely heard, seen, or been delayed by the filming of the new Transformers movie. The helicopter, with the strange orb structure on its nose, flies endlessly around downtown. There’s rubble and mashed-up cars on the streets, and if you get lucky you’ll [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that it’s over, can I get this off my chest? Are fireworks really that great? Does watching the same thing again and again for 18 minutes, followed by the same thing really fast for 2 more minutes, equate with happiness? I guess I can see the allure of light shows, but at a certain [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I bike most places, and usually it’s a great way to get around. Admittedly, you can get pretty sweaty, but for most events there’s a way to make things work. The worst part, though, is the weird misconceptions drivers have about bikers. Many drivers assume that because they’ve encountered merely one reckless biker in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gender-based expectations and disqualifications are frustrating: Why aren’t I allowed to like pink? Purses look so convenient! Tiny dogs that I can hold in my arms? Count me in. Most of all, I really want a pedicure. I can deal with my hands &#8211; they’re perfectly located for grooming. But my feet- my feet are [...]]]></description>

EDT was the &#8220;official&#8221; start of summer for the year of 2010 in the Northern Hemisphere. It is referred to as the Summer Solstice.

During the summer, many festivals are held all around Chicago &#8212; I was personally at the Blues Fest last Saturday. There are a variety of music festivals for different [...]]]></description>

HOWEVER, we need to keep in mind that we want to stay safe while doing that &#8211;meaning no drinking illegally, drug abuse, or anything of that sort. There are plenty of ways to have an enjoyable summer that [...]]]></description>

Others, like me, might want a summer job to finance their education though. Personally, I&#8217;ve sent in applications to many different stores in hopes of [...]]]></description>

With the advancement in technology and increasingly hectic schedules of modern society, heading outdoors seems to be something not many would be considering. However, apparently I have been blessed with friends who think about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hate bikes. Not just because I go so long without riding one that I actually forget how (yes, it is possible to forget, especially when you have horrible balance and a general fear of hitting the ground attached to a metal contraption). Not just because I live in a city where bikes can be [...]]]></description>
