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.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
