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 Prohibition was created… then repealed.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.

Sorority Girls

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

RBF

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.
