The Chicago Cubs early in the morning on November 3rd won the World Series. The last time the Chicago Cubs had won the World Series was in 1908, and this list is gonna go through all the things that have happened in the world since:

1. World War I and World War II both started and ended.

2. There have been 19 U.S Presidents.

3. NASA put a man on the moon.

4. Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley lived and died.

5. A Hershey bar was sold for 2 cents, and box of Kellogg's for 10 cents.

6. The Cubs Ace in 1908 was payed $3500 dollars a year.

7. The Indians had won the World Series.

8. The Dow Jones Industrial average was trading around 63.

9. The British were still in India.

10. Schools in America were still segregated by race.

11. Barack Obama's Mom was not born yet.

12. Their were only 48 states.

13. In 1910 the city of Chicago had a population of 2.2 million. There were 5 million people for the parade this weekend.

14. Televisions, cell phones, a passenger airline service, and Disney had all not been created yet.

15. 1908 World Series tickets were $1.50.

Hopefully the city of Chicago won't have to wait another 108 years for their next championship.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
