5 Reasons To Love The Chicago Cubs

1. We are The World Series Champions

After 108 years of the longest championship drought in the National League the Cubs crushed the Billy goat curse in 2016. We all watched the series (if you didn’t stop reading this blog and go somewhere else please) and if you’re anything like me you were curled in a ball crying in anxiety during game 7 as we went into 10 innings and a ridiculously times rain delay. But at the end of the night they were tears of joy because the Chicago Cubs are World Champions!

2. The best fans you'll ever find

“Best in the World”, duh the team is named the best in the world BUT the teams fans are also named the best in the world! It’s all about loyalty, a true Cubs fan has never and will never veer away from our beloved team, even defending them throughout the 108 years’ curse. It’s also a family tradition, going to games every summer and passing the love to other generations. Cubs fans are also the fans that have the most fun! Supporting our team is easy when everybody’s having the time of their lives. Most importantly, we never get mad or lose hope, we got this cubbies! And the best fans+ best team= best games. Nobody does a summer outside game party Chicago! The singing of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” is iconic not only because every person is standing and singing their hearts out, raising up beers in cheers, but we also tend to be led by some pretty amazing celebrities.

3. Wrigley Field

Wrigley is one of the only two iconic old- school ballparks in MLB. Wrigley keeps the personality and closeness to the team and the area, with hand- operated scoreboard, adjacent rooftop seats, red brick walls, and ivy- covered fencing. Wrigley was he first venue to allow fans to keep foul balls, proving my theory that Chicago Cubs are the sweetest people.

4. Kris Bryant is a superstar (and babe)

Kris Bryant is the only baseball player to win college player of the year, Minor League player of the year, top rookie, and MVP in four consecutive years. IN 2013, Bryant was awarded the Golden Spike award and the Dick Howser Trophy, both that are awarded to the top collegiate player, Louisville Slugger First Team All- American, and the College Baseball News National Player of the Year after he lead the nation with 31 home runs! In 2014, Bryant received Baseball America’s Minor League Player of the Year. In 2015, Bryant joined the Cubs and won the NL Rookie of the Year and an All- Star selection. In 2016, he was, with no surprise, named the MVP!

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
