17 Things Every Royals Fan Knows To Be True

Photo: Wheeler Crimm, Model: Mekahla Peterson

1. The 2014 Wildcard game was the greatest playoff game ever

I could watch this GIF over and over again.....

2. Bo Jackson is a legit superhero

And yes, we knew who Bo was before the 30 for 30 did the documentary about him. He's an honest to God urban legend in KC.

3. Hatred for the Cardinals, Yankees and White Sox run deep

Sure, the Royals MIGHT have started a couple of little tussles, but like the other teams deserved it right?

4. On that note... we will always remember what you did Robinson Cano

Boy, the Home Run Derby is nothing serious just let good ol Country Breakfast have his chance. Yes, he wasn't the greatest hitter, yes, he def was gonna do nothing for your team, but come on! It's our hometown dude.

5. You've probably had some random run-in with a player out and about

Yesterday, I got a phone call from my mom. She was excited and frantic because she just saw Danny Duffy walking around when she was running errands. It's funny to see them out of uniform, but it reminds you that they're people too.

6. You know "Friends in Low Places" by heart even if you despise the damn song

Controversial opinion, I'm glad they changed up the 7th inning stretch song.

7. Tailgating is not just relegated to football season

KC knows how to have a fun time. Get us a grill, Boulevard and some hot dogs we gonna do it right.

8. You have so many random T-Shirt Tuesday Royals shirts you could start your own team with them

9. The 2014 World Series loss stings a little still

WHY DIDN'T YOU AT LEAST TRY TO SEND GORDON HOME MIKE!!!!

10. You know someone, who knows someone, who is connected to George Brett

The man, the myth, the Kansas City version of Kevin Bacon.

11. Salvi is the greatest team mascot

Salvi splash is iconic at this point. Also......

May his bromance with LoLo live on.

12. Family Funday Sunday was the best when you were a kid

Even tho...

13. Day games in the Kansas City summertime are straight brutal

Oh, don't mind me, I'm just melting in this 100-degree weather with 95% humidity and no wind.

14. You know, "That's what speed do," is the best baseball catchphrase

Oh Jarrod, you are dearly missed, my friend.

15. You know who Billy Martin is and what happened to him when he snitched

They get stitches, Billy.

16. The number 30 will always represent the terrible loss in the Royal family

We miss you a lot, Ace.

17. Through the good, the bad and the ugly true blue fans are family and we stick with our team

We've been there through the awful managers, being a farm team for teams with more money, sending a single relief pitcher to the All-Star Game and 100 + loss records. It might be tough times, but we love our team because we were born and raised Royal.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
