10 Reasons Why Mets Fans Are The Best

We bleed orange and blue

Growing up I can remember my dad and mom yelling and jumping to joy watching baseball games. They fell in love with the game, and more importantly fell in love with the Mets. It is as if blue and orange run through my blood. I grew to love the Mets on my own and take much pride in being a fan of them. Everyone has their favorite sports teams, but let's be real the Mets are the best, and these are just a few reasons why they are.

1. We have all the superheroes on our side.

We have Captain America (David Wright), The Dark Knight (Matt Harvey), Thor (Noah Syndergaard), and The Hulk (Lucas Duda).

2. Familia

Jeurys Familia was the top closer in the MLB for the year of 2016. He had the most saves in all the league with 51 saves and the year before he had 43. You can say we owe that man our life for how many games he got us out of with the W.

3. Mr. Met and Mrs. Met

It is one thing to have one mascot, but to have two that are such a perfect pair for each other, what can be better than that?

4. We now sell cookie dough at CitiField.

Let's be real, every kid, dad, mom, grandma and grandpa (everyone) loves cookie dough, and now we get to eat it while watching our favorite people play.

5. Resiliency

No matter what challenge the world is facing the Mets always makes it a point to show everyone it is all going to be okay. From something small like constant injuries to something huge like 9/11, the Mets always pull through putting their best foot forward in every chaotic event that gets thrown at them.

6. We have Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, and Jimmy Kimmel.

Number 1 comedians, number 1 in our hearts.

7. The 7 Line

The 7 Line Army is a group of die heart Mets fans who travels around the United States to watch the Mets play. Their goal is to hit every stadium before returning to one that they already have been at. Being a part of the 7 Line Army even just for a game is life changing for any Mets fan.

8. Keith Hernandez

Being our first captain ever in Mets franchise history, you can assume that Keith Hernandez is kind of a big deal. He was inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame in 1997 and became the voice of the Mets in 2006. He began broadcasting our games then and we couldn't imagine having anyone else voice them to this day.

9. Always being the underdog.

We might struggle from time from time, but that never stops us. We always put our best foot forward no matter who we are being put up against. No team, no player can ever bring us down.

10. Community

There is nothing better than sitting at a game next to a stranger acting as if they are your best friend. We are one big family that cares about these boys so much that it doesn't matter who you are. As long as you are wearing blue and orange you will always have a friend in me.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.
