Emotions Cubs Fans Experience in 2016
Expedia

Chicago, we did it. We made it to the World Series. It took 71 years, but we got there. 2016 has been a weird enough year that it was definitely possible. Bandwagon fans just don't understand the emotional turmoil we True Blue fans have been through. Here's some of the emotions you might experience during World Series Cubs baseball:

1. Disbelief

You knew in your heart it was possible, but when it actually happened?! All. Chill. Lost.

Initial reactions quickly shifted from the man in the middle to that guy on the right.


2. Excitement

Once you've pinched yourself a few times and realized that, YES, the Cubs did make it into the World Series in your lifetime, the overwhelming joy, table-flipping, and kid-like shrieking ensues.


3. Nervousness

After Game 1, we all felt that existential dread. But, we made it this far and we didn't come to stop here. Besides, it's just like our Cubbies to keep us on our the edge of our seats. We thrive off the doubt, right?


4. Sudden desire to spend your life savings on tickets

What are the chances this will happen again in your lifetime? It took 71 years to get here... It's super tempting, but when you go online to check it out and see some tickets going for seven thousand dollars, you suddenly feel satisfied with your couch and the game on TV.


5. Superiority over goats

You begin to feel a sense of dominance over those forsaken goats. Now, the Billy Goat Tavern, that's delicious. Goat curses, not so much. Bill Murray's shirt said it best: we ain't afraid of no goats. Get out of here, ya filthy animals, we've got baseball to play.


6. True Chicago Pride

Even if you aren't from Chicago, you feel a union with the nation's Cubs fans. All those years of being heckled by friends may have finally come to a close. Get out that W and fly it high with pride. This is cool. There's truly nothing like being able to witness sports history happening. Hey Chicago, whaddya say?

Go Cubs Go.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
