6 Orthodox Reasons To Love The Royals

Baseball season is in full swing and the Kansas City Royals are back, and just as exciting to watch as always. The defending champions have already had their fair share of setbacks, but just like the Royals are known for doing, they push through it. Enjoy this short list of reasons to love your Kansas City Royals.

1. Salvy's famous post game ice baths

Everyone knows it is coming and someone different always receives it.The Salvy ice bath to the player of the game. Nothing is greater than seeing Salvy bright eyed and smiling running out of the dugout with the giant cooler.

2. Wade Davis

One of the best if not the best closer in the MLB. The name Wade Davis is sure to send shivers down a batter's spine. The man has one of the nastiest change-ups known to man.

3. Dugout Interactions

It doesn't matter who is in the dugout there is always some sort of celebration or personal handshake going down. It is very entertaining to watch as well.

4. The comebacks

Down seven to one in the ninth against the Chicago White Sox, and missing a few of our starters to top it off. No problem! The good ol' boys in blue pulled out a win! There is never a dull moment of baseball with this team.

5. Hosmer

Sure he is a good ball player, but he also drives the ladies crazy. Eric Hosmer is one fine looking fella.

6. Whit Merrifield

This guy can do it all. Plays anywhere on the field, can hit well, and has impeccable sense of the game. He is currently on a seven game multi hit streak in his first 11 MLB starts. Could he be the one to fill the hole of the missing Ben Zobrist?

Although they still look rocky at times, there is nothing better than watching some Royals baseball. Can we repeat the World Series win for a third straight trip and a second straight win? Only time will tell.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
