While some might see this as a long shot, I like the Washington Nationals' odds of taking it all the way. The Dodgers will be an easy opponent to pass. The Dodgers have carried both series against the Nats this year. With it being tight overall, the Dodgers were 4-3 against the Nats. This season both series came before the Nats really had a groove, in August, through the end of the season. After this 5 game series, they will have to take on the winner between the St. Louis, Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves. The Nationals preferably want St. Louis, as Atlanta has been more of a struggle for the Nats. Ultimately, I think the Nats' toughest challenge will be themselves, and beyond that, if they can beat the Dodgers, it will most likely be the Astros or Yankees. I like the Nat's odds.

1. Max Scherzer is the guy you want pitching when healthy.

The Nats probably have the best pitchers between the Dodgers, Astros and them. I believe with the Nats' hitting ability, they can do this.

2. Strassburg is one of the best pitchers in all of Baseball.

A perfect game in the wild card proved his worth, not that he hasn't been hot all season.

3. Trea Turner's ability to be anywhere and everywhere to make a play.

Trea turner's constancy on both offense and defense is going to be essential.

4. The play making skills with people like Anthony Rendon.

Anthony Rendon looks to be showing age, but still has a high motor and can be big in the teams success.

5. The Tenacity of the team.

The Nats are very determined as it's been heartbreaking every postseason.

6. Ryan Zimmerman can still hit.

While he hasn't been starting 1st base lately, he has still hit well when called upon.

7. Most Importantly, the 20 year old savior.

Juan Soto is 20 years old but has a lot of fire in him. He made a huge play to win the wildcard, and he is earning some major respect. He has to hit more consistent. He has done well this season but struggled last night until the game-winning play.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
