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 Prohibition was created… then repealed.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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
