12 Reasons You Should Be Excited That Baseball Is Back In Season

There is almost nothing better than baseball season. Sitting outside in the warm stadium as the sun shines down and "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" plays over the speakers, watching your favorite player get a hit and dancing like an idiot to get on the dance cam - I could go on.

Baseball is great for so many reasons, more than can possibly be named, but here are some of my favorites.

1. Hot summer game days.

You can't convince me that there is anything more satisfying than going to a baseball game on a hot day and enjoying the game.

2. Pre-gaming.

Having a few pre-game drinks and tailgating in parking lots is basically a tradition. If you aren't going to the bar outside of the stadium and drinking a beer, *newsflash,* you're doing it wrong.

4. The memories.

When we look back in 20 years, I want to be able to remember all of the laughs and fun that I had at the game, just enjoying the sport and my friends.

3. The AMAZING food.

Ballpark food is THE BEST. I'll fight you on this one. I will win.

5. Special theme nights.

Okay, but "Game of Thrones" night where you can sit on a mock Iron Throne? Please, take my money.

6. Buying new jerseys and hats.

One can never have enough baseball jerseys or team hats. Never. Never. Never.

7. Ballpark giveaways.

The best part is when they give you the shirts and the hats at the door simply for buying a ticket and attending! I'll take my shirt in a large, please and thank you!

8. Hoping for a better record than last year.

*cough cough Orioles fans cough cough*

9. The chance to catch a ball.

While the odds aren't huge, it is every fans dream.

10. Have I mentioned the food yet?

The food is literally unparalleled,

11. No seriously, ballpark food is to die for.

Like, I would actually fight for this.

12. Love for the game.

Baseball is incredible. At the end of the day, after all of the food and giveaways, we all go to the game for the love of the sport We go to cheer on the home team and have a good time.

Some of my favorite memories are of going to baseball games with my friends and family. Baseball has given me memories and photos I will have forever. Baseball will always hold a special place in my heart, no matter how the home team plays this season.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
