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.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
