27F Lakeview/Wrigleyville, I moved here a week ago and don’t know anyone!
I’ve lived here a total of 8 days and now that I’m (mostly) settled I want to make friends!
About me: I finished my PhD in May, moved here last week to start my career as a professor. I’ve been in college and moving around since I was 18 and I just turned 27, so I’m excited to pick up new hobbies and put down roots for the first time as an adult. Chicago is home 🥹 I’m painfully extroverted but I thought I’d make a post on here since I’ve been known to adopt introverts lol and you never know who you’ll meet where.
Things I love doing:
- watching sports!!!!! Both live and on TV (favorites are rugby, baseball, football, and hockey)
- live music (I live small/indie/underground venues, I used to work at one in New Orleans and so I have a soft spot for these types of shows but I’ll go see any artist in any genre in any setting)
- trying new bars and restaurants especially small plates type places and cocktail bars (but I also love me a sports bar or a dive, not a huge drinker but I absolutely love the social aspect)
- watching movies and going to movie theaters
- hot girl walks
- playing Pokemon Go
- meeting new people and going on side quests and just collecting memories and experiences and getting to know as many people as possible.
Some things I want to do/try:
- yoga, Pilates, rock climbing (basically trying to get more into anything active that isn’t a contact sport, even better if it’s outdoors)
- explore the city both touristy things and hidden gems because I know nothing lol
- get more into / better at cooking
- honestly add literally anything to this list because I’ll try most things once!
- I just signed up for a 5 week Skee-ball league at Sluggers for singles starting in September so that should be fun. Anything like that I’m game, I’m super easy going and again will try most things once.
I’m primarily looking for girl friends but also I am single and quite a catch (shameless plug)
If you think we’d vibe comment or send me a message and I’d love to hang out! I just got my course schedule for the semester so we can plan something very soon!
