Here are 8 huge events that happened in between the last two times the Chicago Cubs’ won the world series.

1. The invention of TV & Radio

Because where would we be without reality shows and Charlamagne Tha God

2. The PanAm Boeing 747 made its’ first flight from New York to London.

This happened January 21, 1970.

3. Man landed on moon.

Although this is still being debated by some…

4. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have A Dream” speech.

Landing him a spot on the list of best public speakers, you could feel the power and strength in his voice.

5. Prohibition was created… then repealed.

Personally, I wonder what would happen if prohibition was brought back.

6. Babe Ruth makes his major league debut in 1914.

Ruth would become one of the greatest baseball players ever- and had a candy bar that no one eats named after him.

7. Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, and The Stain…

Oh, how far we’ve come. Tomorrow is election day so I’m going to go ahead and say “Now, Hillary is ...president.”

8. GIF’s WERE CREATED!

Unbeknownst to many, gifs were actually created in 1987 by Steve Wilhite. Never realized they were so old and yet… we still can’t figure out how to say it correctly.

This year was the first year the Chicago Cubs won the World Series since 1908, hopefully it doesn’t take them this long next time. I’m not even a baseball fan and I wanted them to win.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
