10 Things I'd Rather Experience Than Witness The Yankees Lose To The Red Sox

Ask any baseball fan who their least favorite team is, and chances are, the answer would be the New York Yankees nine times out of ten.

As an unapologetic Yankees fan, this comes as no surprise: we're simply that great. Although my team has been faring decently this season, they were recently swept by their rival, the Boston Red Sox, losing all four games in a row. Now, there are plenty of tragic moments in sports history, but this was so tragic that here are some things I'd rather experience than witness that happening again.

1. Shove my hands in ice cold water

Compared to seeing the Red Sox score over 10 points? This is nothing.

2. Drink sriracha sauce

My spice tolerance is in the negatives, and I'd still rather do this. There's nothing a glass of cold milk can't fix.

3. Lose a sock from every pair I own

Losing a single game out of three or four games is fine, but the Yankees losing all four is like losing whole pairs of socks within days. At least single socks can be mixed and matched.

4. Eat a raw onion

Who cares about bad breath? Gum and mints can eradicate bad breath, but they can't stop the Yankees from losing four games in a row.

5. Run a lap in Texas summer heat

This one's exercise and therefore healthy anyways. Maybe if I train more it'll help the team I support win more. That's exactly how osmosis works.

6. Walk to the boba store only to find it closed

One less boba drink is $5 more dollars to fund my next baseball game. No loss here.

7. Trap myself in a room full of legos on the ground while barefoot

A little pain never hurt anyone, and this physical pain certainly hurts less than seeing the Red Sox play so well.

8. Sit through a three hour chemistry lecture

Even a monotone professor's voice can't numb the pain of losing so many times in a row and seeing our postseason chances diminishing.

9. Accidentally call my professor "mom"

At least it's a term of endearment. I see the classroom as my home.

10. Become a Patriots fan for a day

Just kidding, nothing can be worse than this.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
