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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
