Congratulations Cubs, From A Cardinals Fan

Business Insider

Way to go Cubs, it only took you 108 years to pull this thing off!

But, in all seriousness, congratulations on claiming the 2016 World Series Champion title. I like to give credit where credit is due, and you guys earned this one.

I, as a Cardinals fan, am happy for you guys, as well as your fans. (I almost went on a limb there and said., "We as Cardinals fans," but I know there are, probably, a few that are in complete denial of what just happened.) Having to wait over a century for a World Series win must've been miserable. We all give Cubs fans such a hard time because waiting that long for a World Series title is something us Cardinals fans could never fathom, fortunately.

We must admit, you fought hard for your title. Those ten innings made for quite the intense game. I'll be honest, we were all hoping you'd choke the entire game, the entire series, the entire year (as usual), but you proved us wrong. This time, at least.

But don't you all worry, we're coming for you next year. And we will NOT be going easy on you like we did this year. Yes, it is true, we only let you beat us a few times because we felt bad for you guys. We knew you had somewhat of a chance this year, so we thought it'd just be the right thing to do. We're nicer rivals than you thought, huh?

Don't think, though, that this one title is converting us into Cubs fans. We still don't really like the Chicago Cubs, at all. I most definitely will not be going out to buy a "Bryant" or "Rizzo" jersey, no matter how cute the two of them are. That is, unless, they would like to come play for us. In that case, I'll buy one of each and the three of us can go to Ballpark Village to celebrate after we're named the 2017 World Series Champions!

XO and best wishes,

Ashley Rose Corbin

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
