Enjoy It While You Can Chicago

The Chicago Cubs won game five of the World Series beating the Cleveland Indians 3-2. It was their first victory at Wrigley Field in the World Series since October 8, 1945. The Cubs have not won a world series since 1908. It’s been 108 years of suffering for the Cubs and their faithful fans. After the victory Cubs fans everywhere celebrated like they had just won the whole thing. Celebrate this victory while you can Chicago because when game six rolls around the party is over.

Everyone outside of Ohio had all but ruled the Indians out coming into the world series. Even after the Indians smacked the Cubs 6-0 nothing in game one all the commentators had to say was that “Chicago still had the upper hand in the series.” One of those commentators, Joe Buck, wrote an article for Sports Illustrated and said “This weekend, I get to do something nobody has ever done before: a TV broadcast of a World Series game at Wrigley Field. It will be the No. 1 highlight of my career.” He proceeded to go on about how “when I announced on Fox that the Cubs had won a pennant (another thing nobody had ever done on live TV before), I got chills.”

It’s mind-blowing that they would allow such one sided commentating and clear favoritism on the biggest stage that baseball has to offer. We’re fine with it though, really, it'll only make the Indians first World Series title since 1948 that much sweeter.

Cleveland has been the butt of a whole lot of jokes over the years, and maybe it’s time for that to end. I’m used to hearing all the slander thrown at my hometown but one specific piece really stood out to me. "Whoever says they want to go to Cleveland?” Cubs catcher Miguel Montero said before game five, "Especially in November. I don't think I’ve ever heard anyone say those words.”

Well Miguel, I moved to San Diego, California a few months ago and it’s beautiful here with the amazing weather, the ocean, the palm trees etc. But let me tell you something. here’s no place I would rather be this November than Cleveland, Ohio. Especially for game six, so I could be downtown and watch the entire city go insane when we win our second championship in the last four months. I hope those words haunt you as you get on the plane to fly back to Chicago coming so close to greatness but falling just a little bit short as the Cubs always seem to do. Cheers to another 108 years of coming up short Chicago!

One more win Tribe fans then it’s parade time.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
