If you do not love the Cubbies, we can't be friends.

10 Reasons Why the Cubs Are The Best

If you have not heard, the Chicago Cubs have recently won the World Series against the Cleveland Indians. This game was one of the most stressful games to have ever gone down in baseball history. For 108 years, the Chicago Cubs had been under a curse — which was broken this year with the amazing victory. Being a Cubs fan has not always been fun. We were called the "lovable losers," but now, we are able to hold our heads high and fly that W. With that, there were some amazing moments captured throughout that night that can relate to how we feel about all of this.

1. Being enthusiastic about our team comes easy

The Cubs have one thing over every other team: their fans are amazing. We have stuck it out through year after year and stood by their side through everything — and now it has all been worth it.

2. Did I mention how easy it is to love our team?

If you have not noticed, it is very easy to love the Cubs. There is a reason why everybody was rooting for them; the Cubbies can take your heart away with even a smile.

3. Our players are intense

Personally, I think when you play a pro sport you should be able to handle yourself well and be serious. If you are focused like the Cubs were this past season, you are able to knock everyone out of the park.

4. Bill Murray

The only man who can get away with honking that horn on the field. Honestly, having Murray in the fandom is fantastic, I hope I am not the only one who saw him sing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" in his Daffy Duck voice.

(For those who do not remember, here is what he looked like while singing during the seventh inning stretch.)

5. When the Indians tied the game

When this happened I can honestly tell you that my heart sank into my stomach and everyone around me was making this exact face.

6. When the Cubs were able to go into extra innings

When this happened, I about lost it — along with the rest of the nation. The final game of the World Series was going into extra innings and I was hoping for the Cubbies to pull through, even though they already knew they were going to come out on top.

7. The final moment

I'll just let this sit here, and you take in all the glory that is the Cubs.

8. That beautiful trophy

If I was him, I would have done the exact same thing. Do you see how amazing that thing is?

9. How we all felt towards Joe Madden

If this was not you at the end of the game, I do not know what else you could have possibly been doing.

10. The curse is finally over

That horrible curse that has followed the Cubs for over a century has finally been broken, and I could never relate to a sign more than I do now.

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. 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.

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.
