Well, as many of you sadly know our talented, determined, hardworking Cleveland Indians lost to the Chicago Cubs in Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday evening. As many of you also know, a certain announcer by the name of Joe Buck showed a great deal of bias towards the Cubs throughout the entirety of the series. Similar to the theme of NBA Finals, Cleveland was once again fighting against the world. Joe Buck had a disgusting infatuation with the Cubs and their ever so mediocre player, Kyle Schwarber (seriously, he's not that great). Buck made it very clear that he was not cheering for the Tribe in every way possible. I mean I think anyone could tell you who he was rooting for just by listening to him talk for more than a minute. Every other word out of his mouth was commending the Cubs for making simple routine plays or discussing how long it had been since Chicago brought home a World Series win (it's been a long time for us too, buddy). And while it is a huge deal the Cubs won, I feel as though Cleveland was just tossed aside. I mean what ever happened to cheering for the underdog? Many predicted the Tribe would not even make it past Boston, but they came through and did better than anyone ever imagined. I have never been more proud to be from "The Land" after this past year. Our own Cavaliers brought home an NBA title and the Indians made it to Game 7 of the World Series. The only thing better than that would have been winning the World Series, but I don't think we have much to worry about because things are looking even better for the Tribe's 2017 season. In the words of Cody Allen the Indians "want to get this started again." They're going to come back better than ever, there's no doubt about it. So, after this devastating loss I thought I would tell you a few things to brighten your day, perhaps 50 things better than Joe Buck?

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.

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.
