Everybody that knows baseball knows who the New York Yankees are, and even if you don't know baseball you've probably heard of the Yankees.

After the Yankees won the World Series in 2009, they started what seemed like a rebuilding time. With the breakout years from two baby bombers and a couple trades this postseason this could be the long-awaited return of the evil empire. In last year's run at the World Series title, the Yankees ended with wins in the wildcard along with an ALDS victory defeating the runner-up from the world series the year before.

With the year showing what rookie sensation Aaron Judge can do, along with Gary Sanchez still crushing home runs like he usually does, but was limited with an injury. Now with opening day just a couple days away, the future of this year is looking bright. Along with the two baby bombers, the Yankees added some veterans with acquiring Giancarlo Stanton and Neil Walker to put into the batting order.

With veterans like these in the lineup mentoring the baby bombers the sky is the limit. Not only will batting average and on base percentage go up, but also homers will go up and monstrous ones at that. Stanton and Judge led all of baseball last year in home runs with both of them having some of the longest home runs as well. This will bring lots of fans into the Yankee stadium to watch a show and even get a baseball souvenir.

These are only some of the players that affect the lineup.

So come March 29 watch for some bombs being hit in the Yankee Stadium and maybe even watch the Bronx Bombers play.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
