Most baseball games are routine 9-inning games. The Boston Red Sox, however, have managed to accumulate the most extra-inning games this season than ever before, and, unsurprisingly, when I went to see them, they played a full eleven innings before claiming the victory. In addition to the extended length of games, there are other integral things that happen at Fenway.

1. The Wave

It may take a few tries before it makes its way around the entire park, but it's a fun way to keep between-inning periods exciting!

2. Wally appearances

The iconic green mascot for the Sox never misses a game!

3. Random fans running onto the field

Even though this is from many seasons ago, there was indeed a fan who decided to run onto the field (and made it quite far before being apprehended) at the game I attended. It never fails.

4. "Moo" chants when Mookie Betts steps up

Mookie has been batting first in the lineup for a good chunk of the season thus far, so when he steps up to bat, it's difficult not to cheer.

5. People talking with Boston accents

The accent is especially noticeable when the concession hawkers (people who sell food throughout the game) yell out "Get your hot dog here!" If you can imagine a Boston accent, you can probably imagine how they say the word "here".

6. Home runs into the Green Monster

When you see the Green Monster on TV, you have a basic understanding of how distant it is from home plate and how tall it really is. Seeing it in person, however, makes you realize how hard the ball has to be hit for it to make it that far-- pretty damn hard!

7. A good time!

No matter the outcome of the game, seeing one in person is an experience like no other.

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.
