5 Major Changes in the World Since the Last Cubs World Series Win

Okay, so all of us have heard these amazing event that has happened this week.

The Cubs won the World Series!

What an amazing moment for not only the Chicago Cub's fans, but just in sports history in general!

I would like to list a couple of things that have happened since 1908, when the Cubs won the world series before this week. This victory is a long time coming.... trust me.

1. Government

Since the cubs won the World Series in 1908, 18 presidents have been elected, and 11 amendments have been added to the constitution. That is a lot of government people, and a lot of change!

2. Radio/Misc.

In 1908 the consumer radio had not been invented! Also coffee filters, paper cups, hearing aids, sun tan lotion and ball point pens had not been invented! Can you imagine a world without these important things?

3. No Plastic!

The World Series champs Cubs did not have plastic helmets because....plastic was still being invented! Who knows what their helmets were made out of?

4. National.....what?!

The NFL didn't exist! Neither did the NBA or the NHL. When the Cubs won the World Series in 1908 think about how big of a deal that was even more so in some ways than the World Series this year! There were no other national sports to compete for the title!

5. Fashion changed

Since the cubs won the World Series in 1908, Bell Bottom pants came into style, went out of style and came back in style....and went back out of style.

All in all, there has been so much history since the Cubs have won, but all that has changed because they won!

Congrats Cubs and to the faithful fans who have stuck with them all these years!

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.
