Emotions Cubs Fans Experience in 2016
Expedia

Chicago, we did it. We made it to the World Series. It took 71 years, but we got there. 2016 has been a weird enough year that it was definitely possible. Bandwagon fans just don't understand the emotional turmoil we True Blue fans have been through. Here's some of the emotions you might experience during World Series Cubs baseball:

1. Disbelief

You knew in your heart it was possible, but when it actually happened?! All. Chill. Lost.

Initial reactions quickly shifted from the man in the middle to that guy on the right.


2. Excitement

Once you've pinched yourself a few times and realized that, YES, the Cubs did make it into the World Series in your lifetime, the overwhelming joy, table-flipping, and kid-like shrieking ensues.


3. Nervousness

After Game 1, we all felt that existential dread. But, we made it this far and we didn't come to stop here. Besides, it's just like our Cubbies to keep us on our the edge of our seats. We thrive off the doubt, right?


4. Sudden desire to spend your life savings on tickets

What are the chances this will happen again in your lifetime? It took 71 years to get here... It's super tempting, but when you go online to check it out and see some tickets going for seven thousand dollars, you suddenly feel satisfied with your couch and the game on TV.


5. Superiority over goats

You begin to feel a sense of dominance over those forsaken goats. Now, the Billy Goat Tavern, that's delicious. Goat curses, not so much. Bill Murray's shirt said it best: we ain't afraid of no goats. Get out of here, ya filthy animals, we've got baseball to play.


6. True Chicago Pride

Even if you aren't from Chicago, you feel a union with the nation's Cubs fans. All those years of being heckled by friends may have finally come to a close. Get out that W and fly it high with pride. This is cool. There's truly nothing like being able to witness sports history happening. Hey Chicago, whaddya say?

Go Cubs Go.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
