Everyone knows the song "Take me out to the Ball Game." Do you know why you should go to the ball game? Have you ever heard or seen a bat crack? Or tasted the delicious stadium food? Not only are baseball games in general a must, attending a Cleveland Indians game is an even bigger must, and here is why:

1. Sugardale Dollar Dog Night

Hot dogs and baseball games are like peanut butter and jelly. They work together perfectly. And just for a buck? I'll take two!

2. Ketchup, Mustard, and Onion

Typically occurring after the fifth inning of the game, Sugardale's own ketchup, mustard and onion race to the finish line. What condiment are you betting on? I vote Ketchup!

3. Good ole Slider

Slider is the Cleveland Indians mascot. Slider was born July 29, 1990 and has been supporting the tribe ever since!

4. Fireworks

Why wait until Fourth of July weekend to see fireworks when Progressive Field has the best ones in town! Firework nights began as early as May this year!

5. Party at Napoli's

We have all seen the tee shirts floating around but do we really know the significance behind it? The short story is when it comes to humor, the Cleveland Indians have the best fans and the best players. Here's what happened: A fan, Nate Crowe, brought this awesome sign to an Indian's Game, with the implication being, if the Indian's won or played well, the party would be at first-baseman Mike Napoli's house. Crowe then proceeded to make a shirt with "Party at Napoli's" as a logo and sent it to Napoli. After a walk off game, Crowe spotted Napoli wearing the shirt! Crowe did not wait to start producing more tee shirts. With the help of 108 stitches he was able to do just that, and he even landed a spot in the stadium's team shop! What's the best part of Party at Napoli's? All the proceeds go directly to Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital. And this just in, Napoli has decided to even add a "Party at Napoli's" logo to his bat!

6. "Hang on Sloopy"

Also known as Ohio's official rock song, "Hang on Sloopy" is sung with a special rendition (O-H-I-O) at all home tribe games!

7. Does John Adams ring a bell? No, he plays the drum!

John Adams is the guy who plays his drum during intense moments of Indians home games. Adams has attended nearly every home game since 1973!

8. The best stadium food around.

The real question is what is Progressive Field missing? Some of the great dining options available to Tribe Fans include, Melt, Sweet Moses Ice Cream, Barrio, The Corner Bar, Dynomite Burger, Great Lakes Brewing Co., and so much more! What can I say, us Clevelanders know how to eat!

9. Sell outs

While we may not have sold out every game in the past, we're doing pretty great right about now! We still deserve bragging rights, yeah? The Cleveland Indians hold second place for most consecutive sellout games in major league baseball at Progressive Field ( 455 sellouts from June 12, 1995 to April 2, 2001).

10. The Fans

No explanation needed here. Our fans are no doubt the best in all of Major League Baseball.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
