Chicago: We Are The Champions

Fly the W — The Curse Has Been Lifted

Chicago: We Are The Champions

I'm going to be honest, I'm not really a baseball fan, and I've only seen two games straight way through in my life. During the seventh game of the World Series, however, I voluntarily sat down and watched all the way through.

My family has always been Cubs fans, and though they never went very far, I would say by the 6 million people that attended the World Series parade Friday, the Cubs have the best fans in the world.

I never really understood how I know every single word to their 'theme song,' but I never regretted it, especially this week.

As I was saying I'm not really a sports fan. I keep up but I don't really watch regularly. I'd seen baseball games and honestly I thought they were pretty boring. Wednesday night I was proved so so wrong.

Never had I watched a game where I was on the edge of my seat hoping and praying that the Cubs would win. I swore to myself (and to the viewers of my Snapchat) when Cleveland scored and even more when they tied the game. But ultimately, the Cubs prevailed. That game had me so stressed out because I knew how much was riding on it. But look at us now — we can say that for the first time in 108 years, the Cubs are world champions.

In the after interviews the coach of the Cleveland Indians said that the Cubs should've lost. The Cubs and the whole city of Chicago have waited 108 this day. They deserve to win, they deserve 6 million fans at a parade, they deserve having a river dyed blue, and they deserve the history that they have made.

I'm not gonna lie, I cried when they won and when most people flew the W (flag) I took the blue marker and drew it on my hand. I probably could've done better, but hey it was one in the morning, and I'm a broke college student. The Cubs deserve all the love that they received for this amazing in historic honor.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
