Cubs Fans Really Are The Best Fans
Chicago Cubs MLB

Hey Chicago what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

Over the past three years at college, I have called the northern suburbs of Chicago my home. Now living in Chicago, and being someone who cares about sports, you start to learn Chicago fans do not mess around. These fans take their professional athletics very seriously—basically religiously. This is no exception when it comes to the Chicago Cubs baseball team (so sit down White Sox fans because you don’t really count).

Last week I went to the playoff-clinching game against the Brewers, and while the Cubs lost, they were still able to clinch the playoffs because the Cardinals lost too. But at the game I had a realization:

Cubs fans really are the best fans.

From having one of the most iconic stadiums, to the electric crowds, to having “Go Cubs” yelled at you by strangers, these fans are the most dedicated, most enthusiastic, and most in tune to the sport and their team’s players. And I don’t blame them, have you seen Kris Bryant?

And for goodness sake, these poor fans have been waiting over 100 years to win the World Series. So simply put, whenever the Cubbies win the World Series, the city of Chicago will burn. Yes, celebrations will be that crazy because that’s just how invested their fans are.

The fans have excellent reasons for being so hyped, especially now. The Cubs are coming off a red hot season last year, and they aren’t holding back this season. They have clinched the NL Central Division and are heading into October better than ever. And mind you, this is with Schwarber being injured less than a week after regular play began after Spring Training.

Rizzo. Bryant. Arrietta. Fowler. Lester. This team has quite the resume of powerhouse players. And to make things better, they have Joe Maddon as their manager, who has become just as involved with the fans. At games, you will definitely see his “Try Not to Suck” t-shirt amidst the sea of blue.

So if you're ever in Chicago, make sure to go to Wrigley Field, grab a Chicago dog, and Fly the W.

Go Cubs Go.

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.
