The Year Of The Chicago Cubs
Renee Stohr

The curse of the goat did not put a damper on the fear of the Chicago Cubs this year, and they have come to go all the way. As the whole world is aware of the Cubs clinching the 2016 NLCS championship, the fight isn't over yet. The fan base of the Chicago Cubs baseball team has been an ever loyal, humbling crowd through the decades of up's and down's; staying through the majority of the downs. From the outside looking in on this ever growing baseball success, the fans are in line for some well-deserved recognition.

There are the fans that have become a Cubs fan overnight, once the Cubs continued flying the "W" flag game after game and finally gained a foundation of consecutive wins, and then there are the fans who wore red and blue with pride for the majority of their lives. Chicago has something special, and that is the love and support the Cubs get from their ever loyal fans who have carried them to the success they are earning today.

This is the year of the Cub. Win or lose, this team has moved mountains. Breaking a streak of loss after loss, the Cubs have worked their way to a well-deserved spot in the 2016 World Series for the first time since 1945.

Whether you are blessed with a view from the stands of Wrigley field, or a comfy couch in your house wrapped up in a blanket, this World Series is not one to miss. It is clear who I have my heart set on to win, but let's face it; these Cubbies have already proven to the world that this is the year. So as we enter the final 4 wins to make it to the top, can we all join in on a little "Hey Chicago what do you say?" If you're a true Cub's fan you know the rest. Play Ball!!!

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.
