1. The Peanut Guy

You know when he's been there by the mountain of peanut shells left around his seat.

2. The Drunk Guy With His Shirt Off

“Bet you won’t take your shirt off, bro!” “Oh, hell yeah! I’ll take my shirt off, bro!” - typical conversation of two guys who have had way too much to drink in the bleachers, about to take their shirts off.

3. The Guy Wearing His Headphones For The Radio Broadcast

Normally a middle-aged man who came with his wife and he uses the radio broadcast of a way of not having to deal with her.


4. The Instagram Girl

“Can we take a picture for the ‘Gram? I am making a PicStitch for my next post, #SELFIE!”

5. The Fans Who Wear A jersey Of A Team Not Even Playing

Why are you wearing a jersey of Prince Fielder when he was with the Detroit Tigers? 1) He doesn’t even play there anymore! And 2) We are at Target Field in Minnesota, watching the Twins host the San Diego Padres - TWO TEAMS HE DIDN’T EVEN PLAY FOR, EVER.

6.The Fan Who Stands And Blocks Your View

I paid 45 dollars out of my cheap college budget to sit here and look at your back. Thank you so much.

7. The Fan Who Argues Balls and Strikes Even Though He Is In the Nosebleeds

Tickets: $5. Buying a pretzel at the game: $6. Letting everyone in your section know how upset you are with that called third strike: Priceless.

8. Boo Guy

Stop booing and shut up. Your team is down by ten.

9. The Complainer

“Why did we come? It is way too hot,” “They were better last year,” “My favorite player just retired; I don’t know why I even came.” *Normally the fan who pays for parking, so that is why you had to invite him*

10. Has To Do A Scorecard Fan

I admit, this is me: I get there, I buy my dollar scorecard and I settle in as I mark up the 4-6-3 double play and second guess myself the whole game if I scored that fielders choice right or not.

11. The Girl Who Is Wearing Victoria Secret Baseball Gear

*Paid 50 dollars for this shirt and, boy, is it cute.*

12. The Girl Who Is On A Date And Doesn’t Know Jack About Baseball

“So is there halftime or do we sit here the whole time?”

13. The Litter Kid Who Just Wants A Ball

You don’t know where this kid's seat is, or where their parents are, but they come down that aisle as fast as lighting, looking for whoever caught the ball, just so they can ask if they can keep it.

14. The Church Camp Group

They are in the worst seats possible, they came with enough kids for a small army, and they are all wearing the same bright yellow shirt so no one gets lost.

15. The Tapes Everything Mom


Has good enough seats to pull her iPhone up during every at bat of her favorite player, hopeful to get a dinger and post it on her Facebook wall.

16. The Girl Who Just Likes The Players Because They Are Attractive


“I just came to stare at their butts.” “I would love to be Mrs.Trout.”

17. The “I Have Him On My Fantasy Team” Guy

For whatever reason, this guy plays fantasy baseball. He also continuously lets you know how many points he needs to get a win this week.

18. The Die-hard Fan

You bought your season tickets in 1965. You are wearing your only jersey you have ever had. Your team is under .500 by 11 games, but you are still there because they aren’t just a team, they feel more like family.

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.
