10 Best Coffee Shops In The Northwest Suburbs Of Chicago

Brittany Kiss

There’s just something about that coffee shop vibe that really gets to me. You don’t even have to like coffee to like coffee shops, honestly. The smell of the freshly ground beans, the high-pitched squeal of the machines. You’re in a room full of people that are doing all different things and talking about so much yet you still are able to concentrate on whatever it is you yourself are doing or thinking. I’m convinced coffee shops are black holes, is basically what I’m saying. Here are 17 black holes that you can do honestly whatever at.

3. Honey Hill Coffe Company, Wauconda

4. The Mug Coffee, Rolling Meadows

5. Coffee Haus, Schaumburg

6. Around Cafe, Arlington Heights

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
