Working at a baseball stadium definitely isn’t your typical summer job, but it sure is a fun one. It’s a work environment unlike any other—loud, fast-paced, and always exciting. There are certain qualities of this job that make it unique. If you can relate to any of these, you probably know what it’s like to spend your summer nights working at a stadium.

1. As soon as you see a rain cloud in the distance, you pray the tarp doesn’t have to be pulled.


No one likes a rain delay. No one.

2. You can sing Take Me Out To the Ballgame and God Bless America in your sleep.



Even though you sing it at every game, the 7th inning stretch will never get old.

3. The smell of hot dogs and popcorn is all too familiar.



No matter where you may be, you can recognize the smell of stadium food anywhere and it will never quite leave you.

4. When you notice the game is tied, you instantly dread the thought of extra innings.


Please, no. Someone just score and end the game already.

5. You haven’t experienced heat until you work a day game in the middle of July.



At this point, you’re thinking a rain delay may be what you need.

6. You get really tired of hearing the same walk-up songs 50 times in a row.



And they’ll get stuck in your head every single game. Never fails.

7. You measure time in innings.



"So if we're in the bottom of the eighth with two outs, that means there's only seven more outs until the game is over."

8. Not having to go into the bottom of the ninth inning is such a blessing.



Because at the end of a long night, having a game with three less outs seems like such a relief.

9. During the times you get to stop and watch a little bit of the games, you’ve probably seen some pretty cool plays.


"Seriously, someone needs to send that one to SportsCenter."

10. No one is safe from foul balls.



If you haven’t been hit or at least come extremely close to being hit, consider yourself lucky.

11. Before you know it, the entire season has gone by and you’re not quite ready for it to end.



So…what am I supposed to do for the next seven months?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
