Sure, we all converge here at Northwestern, but what about where we are from? When that last day of finals rolls around, when we travel back to that place we call home, where exactly are we going?

NBN Writing is setting off to tell these hometown stories. Some are true. Others are not. All of them tie back to a place we call home, just as we do, whatever that may be.
