we're all in illinois. how did we get here? more importantly, why are we still here? what brought you to this flat piece of land? what made you stay?
Polish immigrants from the east, French Canadians from the north. Ta-da!! 21 years in the suburbs, and I hate it more and more every month. I stay because of the friends. You?
I ended up here at 14, when my parents decided to move from New Hampshire. It's a very different place.... but I like it. I even moved back here after going to Boston for college, mostly because of my friends.
I've lived in a small town in IL my whole life but im leaving in august to go to college in wisconsin. Even though I live in a small, boring town, I think it was a really nice place to grow up and Ill be happy to come back here once I have moved away. No matter how shitty it is, its still home you know?
