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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
