Congratulations Cubs, From A Cardinals Fan
Business Insider

Way to go Cubs, it only took you 108 years to pull this thing off!

But, in all seriousness, congratulations on claiming the 2016 World Series Champion title. I like to give credit where credit is due, and you guys earned this one.

I, as a Cardinals fan, am happy for you guys, as well as your fans. (I almost went on a limb there and said., "We as Cardinals fans," but I know there are, probably, a few that are in complete denial of what just happened.) Having to wait over a century for a World Series win must've been miserable. We all give Cubs fans such a hard time because waiting that long for a World Series title is something us Cardinals fans could never fathom, fortunately.

We must admit, you fought hard for your title. Those ten innings made for quite the intense game. I'll be honest, we were all hoping you'd choke the entire game, the entire series, the entire year (as usual), but you proved us wrong. This time, at least.

But don't you all worry, we're coming for you next year. And we will NOT be going easy on you like we did this year. Yes, it is true, we only let you beat us a few times because we felt bad for you guys. We knew you had somewhat of a chance this year, so we thought it'd just be the right thing to do. We're nicer rivals than you thought, huh?

Don't think, though, that this one title is converting us into Cubs fans. We still don't really like the Chicago Cubs, at all. I most definitely will not be going out to buy a "Bryant" or "Rizzo" jersey, no matter how cute the two of them are. That is, unless, they would like to come play for us. In that case, I'll buy one of each and the three of us can go to Ballpark Village to celebrate after we're named the 2017 World Series Champions!

XO and best wishes,

Ashley Rose Corbin

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.
