📍 Madison｜Lake Mendota Blue 💙

Spent the day by the lake before classes start 🏫→🏞️ Even though I just got here a week ago, I’m already in love with summer in Madison… Will winter please take its sweet time? 🥲❄️ The water was sparkling, the sky was clear, and the vibe was just… peaceful. Sat on the terrace at Memorial Union with a Babcock ice cream cone 🍦, watched the sailboats glide by ⛵, and even dipped my feet in the water — cool and refreshing! Can’t believe this is right next to campus. No wonder everyone says UW–Madison has one of the best college lakefronts in the country 🎓💙. If you’re new here (or even if you’ve been around awhile): 👉 Rent a kayak or paddleboard — the views of the Capitol from the water are unreal 🚣‍♂️🏛️ 👉 Catch the sunset — the colors over the lake are pure magic 🌅 👉 Bring a book, a friend, or just yourself — this is the place to slow down 📖💬 Already dreaming of next summer… and hoping this one never ends. #LakeMendota #UWMadison #MadisonWI #CollegeLife #SummerVibes #StudyBreak #LakeDays #FujiPhotography #PureMichiganVibes #MidwestMagic
