3 Reasons Why Chicago Cubs Fans Are The Best Fans

So, all major league baseball fans know that it's been a tough century for the Chicago Cubs and their fans. It's been a long 108 years since the Cubs last won the World Series.

Trust me, I KNOW. And ever since, Chicagoans have been eagerly and endlessly waiting until the day would come that the Cubs would once rise again.

Well, my friends, that day has come.

Now, I know the season is early and there are many more games, but the Cubs are currently the number one team in Major League Baseball!

You're right, Rizzo, but it's also a combination of amazing, talented plays and a bomb ass manager. But, if the Chicago Cubs are on top, why do I say that Cubs fans are the best baseball fans?

1. We've stayed fans through endless amounts of team changes

In the past and recent years, the Cubs have been known to trade tons of players, sometimes even our best ones such as: Derrek Lee, Alfonso Soriano, Sean Marshall, Starlin Casto, Wellington Castilo, Tony Campana, Darwin Barney and many more. However, even though we sometimes only knew a few players on the team after a large amount of trades, we stuck with our team and learned to love our new players.


2. We've stayed fans through endless amounts of manager changes


From the start of 2000 to now, the Chicago Cubs have had 9 managers! That's a lot! From Don Baylor to Rene Lachemann to Bruce Kimm to Dusty Baker to Lou Piniella to Mike Quade to Dale Sveum to Rick Renteria to our current manager, Joe Maddon, we've had a lot of people in charge. And even though it was hard to adjust with the changes each manager made to the team, some good and some bad, us Cubs fans still fully supported our players and the people that were in charge of them.


3. We've stayed fans

The Cubs hold the record for being the team with the longest World Series Drought (the longest gap between winning and present day). The Cubs last won The World Series in 1908 and last appeared in 1945! That's a long f***ing time people!!!! But, WE'VE STAYED FANS! If we can love the Chicago Cubs at their worst, then we will absolutely love them at their best!! The ability for us to stay fans even in the lowest of times shows true dedication to our team! There's no doubt that Chicago Cubs fans are the greatest fans in the world, and hopefully this will be the year that our loyalty will pay off and we can pop that winning

and

Once a Cubs fan, always a Cubs fan!

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
