6 Reasons to Thank God It's Baseball Season
Mark Duffel

I love baseball. Seriously, I wait all year for baseball season. My dad taught me as a kid how to keep score on a scorecard and I've loved it ever since. Some of my favorite memories from my childhood are going to games with my parents and my sister. Baseball is the beginning of the best time of year.

1. It means Spring and Summer are Here! (or coming eventually)...?

Yes, usually when baseball season starts Spring is in full swing. This year, it took a little longer. The season started a week early and with this insane and unpredictable weather there were a lot of games that were postponed the first couple of weeks but now, a month into the season, it finally feels like baseball...well, most of the time!

2. There's nothing like a day at the park.

You're team plays almost everyday. That means you get to watch them almost everyday. Even if they aren't playing, you can find another great game on TV.

4. Baseball is not boring.

Sure, sometimes baseball has long games. But honestly, the game is challenging. We are so used to fast-paced, action packed movies and sports that we've lost the attention span to sit down and watch a game of baseball.

5. Baseball movies are the best.

The Sandlot, the Natural, Trouble with the Curve, Field of Dreams! All great movies to watch around baseball season. I like watching the right before the season starts so I'm psyched for the rest of the season.

6. It's a great way to bond with the family.

I think baseball is a great way to bond with your family and friends. Go to the park, watch your favorite team, eat some good food, watch a good game, and have a few laughs! Even a pick up game with the family is a lot of fun.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
