3 Reasons Ichiro's Return To The Mariners Is The Most Exciting Move In Seattle Sports

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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
