13 Signs You're A Die-Hard Cleveland Indians Fan

There's nothing better than spending your summer days downtown at Jacobs, err, Progressive Field with a Sugardale in one hand and a baseball mitt in the other. Here are the 13 signs you're a die-hard Cleveland Indians fan.

1. You've been an Indians fan for as long as you can remember.

Your first words were most likely, "Go Tribe!"

2. Sugardale is your hot dog of choice.

Don't even try to argue with us that there is a better hot dog because you will lose, miserably.

3. Speaking of hot dogs, you take the hot dog races very seriously.

Mustard's stats are looking good this season, but I still think Onion could really pull through.

4. John Adams is your idol.

The beat of your heart echoes the beat of his drum in the bleachers each game.

5. You're convinced there's not a bad seat in the stadium. In fact, you might even prefer bleacher seats.

Whether you're behind home plate or up in the bleachers, there isn't a bad seat in the entire stadium. Either way, you will still have a beautiful view of the best team on earth.

6. Slider is your homie.

Slider's an even better hype man than Joe Biden is to Obama.

7. "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is your summertime anthem.

For it's root, root, root for the INDIANS...

8. Tribe Fest is a second Christmas.

Just when you think the holiday season has come to a close, Tribe Fest rolls around and makes your life a little sweeter.

9. And you geeked out when you accidentally bumped into a player there.

While wandering around the locker room during Tribe Fest, you may have accidentally stumbled upon a player, and maybe you embarrassingly asked him for a picture, and of course, he said yes.

10. Terry Francona? ...You mean Tito?

The man. The myth. The legend. Tito.

11. You've shamelessly arrived hours early for jerseys or bobbleheads.

Because, "One day, those things will be worth a fortune," dad says.

12. The Home Opener is a national holiday.

You probably called in sick to school and work at least once, and that's totally justifiable.

13. Progressive Field on the sign, Jacobs Field in our hearts.

You can change the sign, but our loyalty remains true. (No offense, Progressive.)

We love you Indians.

Sincerely,

Clevelanders

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.
