2018 Is The Atlanta Braves Year

The Atlanta Braves have a drive this year that's unstoppable.

The Atlanta Braves are three games into the season, and they have already proven they are here to win games and want to go to the World Series.

So, what makes the Braves contenders this year?

1) Two Words: Ender Inciarte

Okay, okay so this one might (a stretch) be a little bias because he's my favorite, but his stats for this year are already amazing. With just three games he has 5 RBI's, 5 hits, and 2 runs with his 15 at bats. Oh yeah, and his average is .333.

2) Ryan Flaherty is here for the record books

Flaherty is a new in the Braves organizations and is already setting records. He is the third third baseman in Atlanta Braves franchise history to score four runs and collect four hits in a game. With just 13 at bats he has 5 runs, 7 hits, and 1 RBI with a .538 average.

3) Brian Snitker is Bobby Cox Jr.

Brian Snitker is not known for being ejected out of games throughout his career as a manager, but he has managed to be thrown out of 2/3 games already. In his whole career he has only been ejected 4 times, now Bobby Cox has been ejected 161 as a manager (which means he is the actual MLB record holder, that's our Bobby!) At this rate Snitker will catch up, he stands up for his players and how he thinks situations should be treated.

4) The teams communication

With every single play they seem to be in sync. They know who to throw to, what to do if a runner tries to steal a base, when to get out of the way of another player making a play. They just know whose job is whose.

5) Everyone has improved

Dansby Swanson had an average of .249 last season, and you could tell he had so much potential. His average as of right now is .357 with 2 hits and RBI's and 5 hits. He has already scored in run after run to help the Braves win two games. You can see how much he loves the game with the excitement on his face and his drive. He's so young, I can see so many great things in his future as an Atlanta Braves. Not only has Swanson improved, but I can see it with the whole team: Markakis, Freeman, Adams, and all of them.

6) Ozhaino Aalbies is a jet

He is legit lightening fast. He can make a double out of a single in just a blink of an eye. He has also hit a home-run this season, so he has a lot of potential for this team. While his average is just .125 he has 3 runs, 2 hits & RBI's with his 16 at bats.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
