An Open Letter To Mets Fans From A Yankees Fan

Dear New York Mets Fans,

The New York Mets are going to the World Series. Congrats! That’s a shocking statement for some to hear. The Mets have not been in the World Series since 2000 when the Yankees beat them in the Subway Series. The Mets have not won a World Series since 1986.

You guys should be elated to be back in the World Series after a 15 year drought. Some of us Yankee fans are happy to support the Mets this post season. However, you guys are not welcoming the support.

I get it. Us Yankees fans are used to winning. We don’t necessarily understand the pain of losing year after year. This season we fell short. This postseason we were unable to make it past the AL Wild Card round.

Now, many of us Yankees fans are excited to see a New York team representing in the World Series. We are use to fall baseball. This season we don’t get that luxury.

Now that the Mets are going for the world title, we want someone to cheer for. What better way to enjoy baseball then to support another New York team?

We are not trying to claim that we have been Mets fans forever. In fact, we are aware of our temporary respect for you guys. Come spring, we will be back to only enjoying Yankee baseball. At least we can admit to that.

You can call us bandwagon fans all you want, but the more support the merrier, right? It’s time for another New York baseball champion.

You can say I’m not a true Yankees fan all you want, but I am fan of the Big Apple. I respect how far you guys have come over the years. Murphy has been outstanding this postseason. His home-run streak is impressive. David Wright is a leader. His leadership qualities resemble much of Derek Jeter and that is the ultimate compliment in a Yankees fans eyes. Terry Collins has turned the team around, which deserves a tip of the hat.

I’m sorry if you aren’t welcoming of our support. But, we are here until the end of the postseason. Good luck to you guys. I wish you nothing but the best.

I can’t believe I’m writing this, but Go Mets!

Sincerely,

A Yankees Fans Wishing You Luck This World Series

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
