The Greatest World Series Ever

Chicago Cubs Vs. Cleveland Indians in Game 7

I must say that I am in no way a big fan of baseball. To go even further, I am not a fan of the Chicago Cubs or the Cleveland Indians. However, last night, I was not going to miss Game 7 of the World Series. I had followed this series because of the story behind these two teams and how long it has been since they have brought a title to their city. The Chicago Cubs hadn't won a series since 1908. The Cleveland Indians haven't won since 1948. Many legacies were on the line last night which made this Game 7 even more memorable than most recent world series. If Cleveland wins, it brings another title to the city just like the Cavaliers did in basketball this year. If Chicago wins, it ends the curse of them not winning a world series since 1908. As we know, the Chicago Cubs came out victorious last night winning 8-7 in extra innings. This honestly could have been one of the greatest games in baseball ever played. This game was never one sided either. The Cubs would have an early 2-0 lead and then the Indians would come right back at him. In the bottom of the 8th, the cubs were up 6-4 and then Raji Davis hit a two-run homer and tied the game back up. Neither team scored in the 9th inning, so they went extra innings.

To add to the suspense of this game, a rain delay occurred. After 20 minutes of waiting, we went to the top of the 10th inning and the cubs were up. The Cubs would score two runs that inning and then go to the bottom of the 10th where the Indians had their rebuttal. Cleveland scored one run, but the last of the game was a groundball towards Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant. He made the play and made the last out of the world series. The Chicago Cubs were world champions and the curse was broken. It was a great victory and fans of the Cubs were going absolutely nuts when they won. MVP of the World Series was Second Baseman Ben Zobrist who had one of the clutch hits in the 10th inning. Not to take away from his performance, but anyone from the Cubs could have won MVP. Dexter Fowler could have won for hitting the first home run of the game in the first inning or it could have gone to veteran catcher David Ross who also hit a home run in the game and may have played his last game in the MLB. It could have even gone to the pitching rotation for the Cubs. This was one of the greatest team efforts I have ever seen in a very long time and I will remember this game for as long as I live. I would like to congratulate the Chicago Cubs on their victory and I wish them the best in their future.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
