The Year Of The Chicago Cubs
Renee Stohr

The curse of the goat did not put a damper on the fear of the Chicago Cubs this year, and they have come to go all the way. As the whole world is aware of the Cubs clinching the 2016 NLCS championship, the fight isn't over yet. The fan base of the Chicago Cubs baseball team has been an ever loyal, humbling crowd through the decades of up's and down's; staying through the majority of the downs. From the outside looking in on this ever growing baseball success, the fans are in line for some well-deserved recognition.

There are the fans that have become a Cubs fan overnight, once the Cubs continued flying the "W" flag game after game and finally gained a foundation of consecutive wins, and then there are the fans who wore red and blue with pride for the majority of their lives. Chicago has something special, and that is the love and support the Cubs get from their ever loyal fans who have carried them to the success they are earning today.

This is the year of the Cub. Win or lose, this team has moved mountains. Breaking a streak of loss after loss, the Cubs have worked their way to a well-deserved spot in the 2016 World Series for the first time since 1945.

Whether you are blessed with a view from the stands of Wrigley field, or a comfy couch in your house wrapped up in a blanket, this World Series is not one to miss. It is clear who I have my heart set on to win, but let's face it; these Cubbies have already proven to the world that this is the year. So as we enter the final 4 wins to make it to the top, can we all join in on a little "Hey Chicago what do you say?" If you're a true Cub's fan you know the rest. Play Ball!!!

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 have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever.
