6 Reasons to Thank God It's Baseball Season
Mark Duffel

I love baseball. Seriously, I wait all year for baseball season. My dad taught me as a kid how to keep score on a scorecard and I've loved it ever since. Some of my favorite memories from my childhood are going to games with my parents and my sister. Baseball is the beginning of the best time of year.

1. It means Spring and Summer are Here! (or coming eventually)...?

Yes, usually when baseball season starts Spring is in full swing. This year, it took a little longer. The season started a week early and with this insane and unpredictable weather there were a lot of games that were postponed the first couple of weeks but now, a month into the season, it finally feels like baseball...well, most of the time!

2. There's nothing like a day at the park.

You're team plays almost everyday. That means you get to watch them almost everyday. Even if they aren't playing, you can find another great game on TV.

4. Baseball is not boring.

Sure, sometimes baseball has long games. But honestly, the game is challenging. We are so used to fast-paced, action packed movies and sports that we've lost the attention span to sit down and watch a game of baseball.

5. Baseball movies are the best.

The Sandlot, the Natural, Trouble with the Curve, Field of Dreams! All great movies to watch around baseball season. I like watching the right before the season starts so I'm psyched for the rest of the season.

6. It's a great way to bond with the family.

I think baseball is a great way to bond with your family and friends. Go to the park, watch your favorite team, eat some good food, watch a good game, and have a few laughs! Even a pick up game with the family is a lot of fun.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
