WordPress

When you hear the voice of Frank Sinatra echo throughout Yankee Stadium with his famous rendition of "New York, New York," the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Start spreadin' the news and remember the 20 things you've learned throughout the years that make you a fan of the best baseball team around.

1. Team chemistry is everything.

2. We all have a love/hate relationship with Arod

3. 2009 was a year of staying up late for extra innings and sleeping in the next day.

4. Legends never die.

5. The bleacher creatures are the most die-hard fans in the stadium.

6. You hate when people claim they're a Yankees fan but the only player they can name is Derek Jeter and maybe Mark Teixeira.

7. The core four will always make you emotional…always.

8. You relive some of the best moments of Yankee history by watching Yankees Classics games on YES network.

9. When you played baseball/softball as a kid, you tried to emulate your favorite player in pinstripes (I'm talking to you, Jorge).

10. The Red Sox suck

11. Especially Kevin Youkilis

12. Any type of Red Sox paraphernalia is not allowed in the household.

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.

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.

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.
