Finals are right around the corner and before we devoted our days to studying for hours on end, my friends and I decided to have a mini girls day! On Sunday, we went out for brunch at Atlas, did some downtown Christmas shopping, and ended the day with a musical held by the Theatre Arts department.\u00a0Finals week can be very overwhelming, so I suggest having a fun day with a few friends before chaos slowly creeps in.<\/p>\n

The day began with brunch at Atlas<\/a>, a popular restaurant downtown here in Iowa City. They recently began serving brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 7 am to 2 pm. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the prices aren’t too over whelming for the quality you are receiving! Whenever I eat there, I typically spend $12-15 dollars on myself. It’s also a great place to take your family or friends whenever they visit.<\/p>\n

We then headed off to do some light downtown shopping in the few stores there are here. There are by far a lot more restaurants and bars than there are clothing stores, but the few options that are here are extremely cute. My favorite would be the White Rabbit Shop<\/a>. It’s a small boutique only found in Iowa City. They sell just about everything you can think of in a small clothing store. My favorite thing to buy from there would probably be the jewelry or pins\/patches\/stickers.<\/p>\n

To wrap up the day, we attended a musical performance held here at the University of Iowa by the Theatre Department<\/a>. They hold a various amount of shows throughout the year.\u00a0We attended Fun Home, a musical memoir that a young woman wrote about her father. I don’t want to give away too many details. . . but it was everything I expected and more! The actors, props, and music were all executed nicely and I really enjoyed my time there. I highly recommend attending a play, musical, or dance performance sometime in your time here at the University.<\/p>\n
