Ichiro Suzuki has finally come home after six years, and we could not be more excited. A household name in the Pacific Northwest, Ichiro has established a large fan base over the course of little more than a decade. With coming back on a one year contract, here are a couple reasons you should be excited about this great move in Seattle Mariners history and should head to a game this season

1. He is a legend

Ichiro Suzuki has been with the Seattle Mariners franchise for the majority of his major league career and through that has been the face of many campaigns, advertisements, and apparel for the team. Ichiro has created a fanbase not only in Seattle or in the United States, but Japan as well, as countless tourists came to Seattle just to see Ichiro do his iconic lead-up for his up bat. Not only is Ichiro a Seattle legend but a major league legend.

2. Retire in the place he started

Why would you not want to support a player like Ichiro when he has decided to simply do a one-year playing contract with the Mariners just so he can retire while wearing the jersey of the team that started his American baseball career? The return of Ichiro to Seattle will not only benefit Ichiro but hopefully the team's statistics throughout the season, as well as the organization as a whole.

3. World Series?

Easier said than done, but maybe, just maybe, with having Ichiro back in right field and leading the Mariners on the roster the Mariners might be able to snag a spot to enter the World Series for the first time in Mariners history. Who knows, he could be the lucky charm that finally gets the Mariners to the ultimate finish line.

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.

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.
