I'm a twenty-something journalist covering Chicago area news online and in print.

I love the Chicago White Sox, Hawkeye football, and the Orlando Magic, in no particular order. Besides writing, I love fashion, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

My blog posts aren't endorsements, just items I find quirky or interesting. Enjoy!

(via chicagotribune.com) At Maine East High School in Park Ridge, students in Jennifer Conlon’s current affairs class are researching all things NATO, from its origins to its accomplishments to the issues that now trouble each member nation.

Most of the teens admitted they hadn’t really grasped what the group of nations actually does or how it operates. That should change within a week, when the class holds a mock summit, with each student representing a NATO country, and as students watch the actual summit unfold in their proverbial backyard.

“I think it’s cool they picked Chicago, but I want to know how the (organization) helps the world,” said Marwa Musleh, 17, of Niles.
