I firmly believe that Chicago is the best sports city on earth. This year alone Chicago received two MVP Awards for Patrick Kane (Blackhawks) and Kris Bryant (Cubs), a Rookie of the Year Award for Artemi Panarin (Blackhawks), and ended the 108-year championship drought. The excitement is all over, and it's not just for the boys. Chicago sports girls are the best girls, and here are things we can all relate to.

1. Lola Bunny in "Space Jam" is the best Looney Toons character because she's a badass.

She got to play with Michael Jordan, enough said.

2. Even if you didn't like beer to start, you've learned to love it so you don't die of thirst.

3. Cute fan gear is as essential to your wardrobe as a good pair of jeans, black leggings, and an LBD.

4. You're just as loud, if not louder, than the guys when you're watching a game, and you can get a little confrontational.

5. You've heard "you're just a fake fan" so many times you just brush it off at this point.

6. Certain cuss words have become a staple to your vocabulary.

7. When someone asks if you're a Blues, Cardinals, Packers, Twins, or Heat fan.

That's worse than putting ketchup on your hot dog.

8. You've called your best friend the Kane to your Toews.

9. And the Rizzo to your Bryant.

10. You refer to at least one Chicago star athlete as your husband.

Jonathan Toews, if you're reading this please call me.

11. You have posted the lyrics of "Chelsea Dagger"as Instagram captions and you're not ashamed of it.

12. Overtime is stressful AF, yet so entertaining.

13. Since there are five teams in the four major sports here in Chicago, you're never bored.

14. Sometimes you spend more money on fan gears and tickets than you do on makeup.

15. You have an endless amount of hilarious memes at your disposal.

And there are many, many more.

16. You personally identify with Jason Segel's character in "Bad Teacher" from this one classic scene.

17. You have mastered the art of coherently arguing about the game while drunk.

18. You went through a phase where you actually thought this mullet was attractive.

And maybe you still do, I don't judge.

19. And you know exactly why I made this a list of 19.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
