No matter how far away you go for college, living near the windy city still had an impact on you! Here are 20 tastes of home aka signs you’re from the suburbs of Chicago:
40ish minutes away is close enough, right? Besides, no one knows where your town is, anyway.
Busted!
You’ve become a pro at layering, and Chicago weather has got nothing on you! You can never pack away your winter clothes because you never know what’s going to hit next!
