The Chicago Cubs early in the morning on November 3rd won the World Series. The last time the Chicago Cubs had won the World Series was in 1908, and this list is gonna go through all the things that have happened in the world since:

1. World War I and World War II both started and ended.

2. There have been 19 U.S Presidents.

3. NASA put a man on the moon.

4. Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley lived and died.

5. A Hershey bar was sold for 2 cents, and box of Kellogg's for 10 cents.

6. The Cubs Ace in 1908 was payed $3500 dollars a year.

7. The Indians had won the World Series.

8. The Dow Jones Industrial average was trading around 63.

9. The British were still in India.

10. Schools in America were still segregated by race.

11. Barack Obama's Mom was not born yet.

12. Their were only 48 states.

13. In 1910 the city of Chicago had a population of 2.2 million. There were 5 million people for the parade this weekend.

14. Televisions, cell phones, a passenger airline service, and Disney had all not been created yet.

15. 1908 World Series tickets were $1.50.

Hopefully the city of Chicago won't have to wait another 108 years for their next championship.

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.

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.
