21 Reasons I Know The Cubs Are Going To The World Series
Baseball Essential

For those that have not yet experienced the Chicago Cubs mojo, I am here to reassure you that the Chicago Cubs will indeed play at the 2016 World Series. Here are 21 reasons the Chicago Cubs are the best:

1. Joe Maddon

If you haven’t heard yet, the Cubbies acquired manager Joe Maddon last season. He led the Cubs to a regular season record of 97 wins and 65 loses. If that doesn’t give you a reason to believe he is the best manager in the MLB, then his positive attitude towards having fun and just playing the game should. Oh, and that he was awarded 2015 Manager of Year.

2. Theo Epstein

Not only one of the hottest presidents of Baseball Operations, Theo Epstein is the Chicago Cubs ambitious President of Baseball Operations. With his success with the Boston Red Sox, Epstein is determined to bring success to the Chicago Cubs.

3. Wrigley Field


Undergoing massive renovations, Wrigley Field’s home vibe goes beyond words and creates a magical baseball experience.

4. Anthony Rizzo

My future husband and the Cubs first baseman has the power and leadership to lead the Chicago Cubs to the World Series. It helps that he is a powerhouse at bat.

5. Jake Arrieta

2015 Cy Young Award winner, Jake Arrieta, has one of the best arms in the MLB. Plus, his killer beard is classic.

6. Kris Bryant


Chicago Cubs heartthrob third baseman and power-hitter, won the 2015 Rookie of the Year Award setting records for most rookie home runs in a single season. Sorry, ladies, he’s taken.

7. The Fans

The world’s greatest fans, Chicago Cubs fans are lively and ambitious. They support their team no matter how horrible they have been in the past. I mean, not just any fans stick around for 108 years waiting for a World Series win.

8. The Curse of the Billy Goat

Whether you are the most dedicated Cubs fan or a bandwagon fan, you know the curse of the billy goat is very real. But you don’t care, because you have so much faith in your Cubbies that you know they will win!

9. Favored to Win

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Chicago Cubs are indeed favored to win the 2016 World Series. Started from the bottom now we here.

10. Chicago

Hello! The Chicago Cubs reside in the greatest city ever: Chicago! There is no other way to describe how cool being from Chicago is.

11. Strategies

Like many teams in the MLB, the Cubs have many strategies to winning. However, one of the biggest strategy Joe Maddon emphasizes is that the team works together as a family.

12. Kyle Schwarber


Schwarbomb! That’s all.

13. Addison Russell

At just the age of 21, this Cub’s shortstop is speedier than most and makes amazing plays such as the one above.

Jealous? So is St. Louis Cardinal’s Jhonny Peralta.

14. John Lackey AND Jason Heyward

Cardinal fans still haven’t learned, but these two have. Lackey and Heyward know where it’s at and chose to play for the Chicago Cubs. Heyward describes their decision best, “I don't want to take the highest dollar amount when my gut is telling me to go somewhere else.” Guess the Chicago Cubs are just that enticing.

15. Their History

As I mentioned earlier, the Cubs haven’t had the greatest luck the past 108 years. However, their incredible 2015 season changes that all. Going from 65 wins to over 90 wins in one season should be a good enough reason on it’s own.

16. They are young as hell!

With the youngest lineup in the MLB, they have room to grow and their talents will expand. Watch out.

17. Ben Zobrist

Recently acquired, Zobrist will bring fire and heat to the Chicago Cubs. With the ability to play almost every position, the Cubs are set.

18. National League Central

The Cubbies play in the hardest and best division: the national league central. Not only do they play rivals St. Louis Cardinals, they play the Pittsburgh Pirates, Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds.

19. 2015 Post-Season


The Chicago Cubs 2015 Post-Season was historic. I mean, Chicago erupted when the Cubbies won the NLDS and advanced to the NLCS against the Mets. Just check out this bone chilling excitement!

20. #WeAreGood

The hashtag that says it all.

21. They are the Chicago Cubs


Enough said.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
