50 Things That Are Better Than Joe Buck

Well, as many of you sadly know our talented, determined, hardworking Cleveland Indians lost to the Chicago Cubs in Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday evening. As many of you also know, a certain announcer by the name of Joe Buck showed a great deal of bias towards the Cubs throughout the entirety of the series. Similar to the theme of NBA Finals, Cleveland was once again fighting against the world. Joe Buck had a disgusting infatuation with the Cubs and their ever so mediocre player, Kyle Schwarber (seriously, he's not that great). Buck made it very clear that he was not cheering for the Tribe in every way possible. I mean I think anyone could tell you who he was rooting for just by listening to him talk for more than a minute. Every other word out of his mouth was commending the Cubs for making simple routine plays or discussing how long it had been since Chicago brought home a World Series win (it's been a long time for us too, buddy). And while it is a huge deal the Cubs won, I feel as though Cleveland was just tossed aside. I mean what ever happened to cheering for the underdog? Many predicted the Tribe would not even make it past Boston, but they came through and did better than anyone ever imagined. I have never been more proud to be from "The Land" after this past year. Our own Cavaliers brought home an NBA title and the Indians made it to Game 7 of the World Series. The only thing better than that would have been winning the World Series, but I don't think we have much to worry about because things are looking even better for the Tribe's 2017 season. In the words of Cody Allen the Indians "want to get this started again." They're going to come back better than ever, there's no doubt about it. So, after this devastating loss I thought I would tell you a few things to brighten your day, perhaps 50 things better than Joe Buck?

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.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
