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.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
