Upcoming Braves matchups to watch

The Atlanta Braves are an up-and-coming team in the MLB and they hope to build on their division title from last season. The competition is stiffer this time around so there are some big series coming this Summer.

Friday, May 31 — Detroit Tigers

After being on the road for the majority of May, the Braves finally have some competitive home series on the horizon. To open a three-game series, a struggling Detroit Tigers team will be coming to SunTrust Park. This Tigers team started the year off strong at an 8-4 mark but have since fallen to six games under .500 at 18-24.

A Friday night game under the lights against a struggling team is a recipe for a great performance, not to mention there will be the trademark Friday night fireworks at the park.

June, 14-16 — Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies beat the Braves three consecutive times to begin the 2019 season. This will be the first time the Phillies come to Atlanta since Bryce Harper joined the squad. The Harper hype has sort of died down after he came back to earth from his hot start. Emotions will be tamed this time around giving the Braves an edge.

The Braves have begun to fix their pitching issues which was the main thing holding them back going all the way back to last season's division title. The starters have been better while the bullpen is starting to patch the major holes. This will be an exciting series between two division rivals.

June 17-19 — New York Mets

The Mets are another division rival and another team that started the year strong. They have been known for their fast starts and not much else after. They fell under .500 after the 42-game mark at 20-22. The rest of the division appears to be populated with lesser threats so Atlanta must take advantage of this team while it is reeling.

This is another three-game series at SunTrust Park so the Braves will have home-field advantage. Atlanta has typically performed better at their home park so they will likely gain on the Phillies for the top spot in the division with this series.

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.

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.
