Cubs Fans Really Are The Best Fans
Chicago Cubs MLB

Hey Chicago what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

Over the past three years at college, I have called the northern suburbs of Chicago my home. Now living in Chicago, and being someone who cares about sports, you start to learn Chicago fans do not mess around. These fans take their professional athletics very seriously—basically religiously. This is no exception when it comes to the Chicago Cubs baseball team (so sit down White Sox fans because you don’t really count).

Last week I went to the playoff-clinching game against the Brewers, and while the Cubs lost, they were still able to clinch the playoffs because the Cardinals lost too. But at the game I had a realization:

Cubs fans really are the best fans.

From having one of the most iconic stadiums, to the electric crowds, to having “Go Cubs” yelled at you by strangers, these fans are the most dedicated, most enthusiastic, and most in tune to the sport and their team’s players. And I don’t blame them, have you seen Kris Bryant?

And for goodness sake, these poor fans have been waiting over 100 years to win the World Series. So simply put, whenever the Cubbies win the World Series, the city of Chicago will burn. Yes, celebrations will be that crazy because that’s just how invested their fans are.

The fans have excellent reasons for being so hyped, especially now. The Cubs are coming off a red hot season last year, and they aren’t holding back this season. They have clinched the NL Central Division and are heading into October better than ever. And mind you, this is with Schwarber being injured less than a week after regular play began after Spring Training.

Rizzo. Bryant. Arrietta. Fowler. Lester. This team has quite the resume of powerhouse players. And to make things better, they have Joe Maddon as their manager, who has become just as involved with the fans. At games, you will definitely see his “Try Not to Suck” t-shirt amidst the sea of blue.

So if you're ever in Chicago, make sure to go to Wrigley Field, grab a Chicago dog, and Fly the W.

Go Cubs Go.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
