Three Strikes You’re Out…

16

To all you diehard bulldawg fans, the end of Fall brings not only the cold weather, but the end of a lifestyle -- the end of UGA football season. You spend every week counting down the hours until kick-off and every weekend engulfed in the tailgates and traditions. Once it all ends, your Saturdays become dull and comatose. It feels like an eternity before the beloved season returns…Wait no longer. With Spring comes warm weather, sunny afternoons, and baseball season! As a current Diamond Darling, I spend many of my evenings hanging out in the bleachers, listening to country music and cheering on the bulldawg baseball team. However, there is never as much excitement for this season as there is for football. And the stands are never quite as full.Why is it that football is the only thing that can get us out of our beds on the weekends? There are not nearly as many baseball fanatics as there are football fans. Maybe it is the slow pace of the game or the many weekday night games that cut into our time for precious school work. Whatever the reason, I think it is time that things change.
Baseball may mean more to me than to many of you, and that is why I am so passionate about recruiting more fans. I grew up a Cubs fan and spent many summers at Wrigley Field with my dad. The start of baseball season always symbolized the beginning of freedom and relaxation. Munching on boiled peanuts and slurping down a giant lemonade brought joy to me. If you don’t have the same feelings towards baseball, maybe it is because you have not given it a chance. Or maybe you have, and if that’s the case, give it another shot.
Foley Field could bring you all of these new memories. This year is the year to start supporting the baseball team and racking in the fans. Sports teams always do better with a bigger and rowdier crowd in the stands. If this spring season, we could get more people to come out, I think the team could perform exponentially better. What is the harm in catching a little rays and hanging out with friends at the baseball game?
The Bulldawgs have a new head coach this season, Scott Stricklin, and an exciting schedule. Many of the team’s greatest players are underclassmen and bring delight to the team. And, the Diamond Darlings are always passing out signed baseballs or pizza to lucky fans. But you have to attend the games to be a part of it all. So get out there and cheer on the bulldawg baseball team.

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.
