The Boston Red Sox have been struggling as of late. Just coming off a west coast road trip that they finished blow 500 in, it’s time for the Red Sox to turn it around. The Red Sox do not have a favorable schedule as they play a lot on the road. When the Red Sox are at home, they need to win. Being on the road for most of the end of the year will be difficult but if they want to make the playoffs, they need to start winning.The Red Sox had a difficult loss last night to the Yankees in which they had the game won. It was 4-1 in the seventh inning and the bullpen did not keep that lead. This isn’t the first time this has happened and it can’t continue. The bullpen needs to shut down the opposing lineup down.

There are many players on the Red Sox that have unperformed this season. Guys like David Price, Clay Buchholz, Drew Pomeranz and many other needs to step up. The Red Sox have a lot of talent and they need to start to use it. Boston is still holding on too the second wildcard spot but if they keep losing to team they should beat; they will find themselves watching October baseball from home. This is David Ortiz last season, give him one last October run. The AL East is the toughest division in baseball, the Red Sox need to start wining before the gap gets even bigger. The Red Sox are a young team that are made for October. The time is now for the Red Sox.

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.

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.
