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.

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.
