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!!!

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
