I firmly believe that Chicago is the best sports city on earth. This year alone Chicago received two MVP Awards for Patrick Kane (Blackhawks) and Kris Bryant (Cubs), a Rookie of the Year Award for Artemi Panarin (Blackhawks), and ended the 108-year championship drought. The excitement is all over, and it's not just for the boys. Chicago sports girls are the best girls, and here are things we can all relate to.

1. Lola Bunny in "Space Jam" is the best Looney Toons character because she's a badass.

She got to play with Michael Jordan, enough said.

2. Even if you didn't like beer to start, you've learned to love it so you don't die of thirst.

3. Cute fan gear is as essential to your wardrobe as a good pair of jeans, black leggings, and an LBD.

4. You're just as loud, if not louder, than the guys when you're watching a game, and you can get a little confrontational.

5. You've heard "you're just a fake fan" so many times you just brush it off at this point.

6. Certain cuss words have become a staple to your vocabulary.

7. When someone asks if you're a Blues, Cardinals, Packers, Twins, or Heat fan.

That's worse than putting ketchup on your hot dog.

8. You've called your best friend the Kane to your Toews.

9. And the Rizzo to your Bryant.

10. You refer to at least one Chicago star athlete as your husband.

Jonathan Toews, if you're reading this please call me.

11. You have posted the lyrics of "Chelsea Dagger"as Instagram captions and you're not ashamed of it.

12. Overtime is stressful AF, yet so entertaining.

13. Since there are five teams in the four major sports here in Chicago, you're never bored.

14. Sometimes you spend more money on fan gears and tickets than you do on makeup.

15. You have an endless amount of hilarious memes at your disposal.

And there are many, many more.

16. You personally identify with Jason Segel's character in "Bad Teacher" from this one classic scene.

17. You have mastered the art of coherently arguing about the game while drunk.

18. You went through a phase where you actually thought this mullet was attractive.

And maybe you still do, I don't judge.

19. And you know exactly why I made this a list of 19.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
