10 Times We Fell In Love With The Chicago Cubs
Sports Mockery

If you have been living under a rock, the Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 108 years and people are pumped. Considering it has been so long since they've won the World Series, it was hard not to root for the ultimate underdogs. When they finally clinched the title, coming back form a 3-1 start to the series, it easy to fall a little bit in love with the Cubs. Here are 10 times that we all started to fall in love with the Chicago Cubs:

1. The bromance between Anthony Rizzo an Kris Bryant.

2. 39-year-old player David Ross (nicknamed Grandpa), the Cubs' oldest player, made history when he hit a home run and won the World Series game in the final game of his career.


3. Anthony Rizzo gets emotional while making a speech about David Ross at the Cubs parade in Chicago following their victory.

4. Elderly Cubs fans celebrate a long awaited victory.

5. Everyone fell in love with third-baseman Kris Bryant because, well, look at him. (They have even made jerseys sporting his number and the name "Cutie").


6. The "Go Cubs Go" song became catchier than ever and celebrities doing their own renditions made it even more like-able.

7. Bill Murray's unending support and passion for the team somehow made it something you wanted to root for more than ever.

8. The Saturday following the team's win, Dexter Fowler, Anthony Rizzo and David Ross guest starred on Saturday Night Live proving that they not only play great baseball, but also have amazing senses of humor.

9. Not only did the Cub's win make us love the team, but it was also the Cub's loyal fans who reminded us how sports can bring people together and why a Cub's victory was one we should celebrate.

10. The fact that a Cubs win was witnessing a moment in history. After a 108 year championship drought, watching Kris Bryant field that last out was truly witnessing something that would be marked in the books for years to come.


Some may call falling in love with the Cubs "hopping on the bandwagon," but what's so wrong about joining in on something that brings so much celebration to so many people? So thanks Cubs. Thanks for bringing home the W.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
