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!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
