Being a fan of the Chicago Cubs is the greatest (but also sometimes the worst) thing. There's so much history behind the club, they're always fun to watch, and now they're even World Series champs. Here are eleven things you know to be true if you're a true Cubs fan (meaning you were around before the 2016 season).

1. You love the Cubbies, but they really piss you off sometimes

You'll always be a fan, but then they drop a series against the Giants. Really? The Giants? Or they blow the NLCS against the Dodgers because they forget how to hit.

2. Wrigley Field is your favorite place

There's no place like Wrigley Field. It's arguably the most historic baseball park. The marquee, the bricks, the ivy, it's iconic.

3. You have a huge crush on Kris Bryant

I don't care who you are: girl, boy, gay, straight, anything in between, Kris Bryant is a beautiful human being. Just admit it.

4. People always assume you're a bandwagon fan

Nothing pisses you off more because you waited YEARS for that World Series trophy. You've earned it. And now all of a sudden there's a ton of fans who weren't here two years ago.

5. Half of your closet is Cubbie blue

You have all your favorite players' jerseys, t-shirts, and hats of course. It only got worse after the World Series because you had to add a ton of postseason gear to your collection. True fans even have Cubbie shoes.

6. You cried when they won the World Series

I honestly tear up every time I even think about it.

7. You know every word to 'Go Cubs Go'

You sing along to it after every win.

8. You remember when they were bad

It wasn't always this easy to be a Cubs fan.

9. You have a love/hate relationship with Kyle Schwarber

It seems like every time he gets up to bat it's either a homerun or an out. There's no in between.

10. You put all of your trust in Theo Epstein

Because what else can you do.

11. You know you'll always be a Cubs fan

No matter how bad a season is, or how many games you get to, you're in it for the long haul.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
