College Baseball In Full Swing

Baseball is America's great pastime, and college ball is no exception. I'll be honest with y'all, I've never associated myself with baseball, short of playing t-ball and spending a copious amount of time watching The Sandlot. But after three years of attending Texas Tech, I decided to attend a baseball game. And you know what? It was great.

Like I said before, I didn't know a lick about baseball before this season. But thanks to my knowledgeable friends, I quickly learned the ins and outs of the sport. I mean I knew what a strike was (if you don't, it's when the dude with the bat swings at the ball and misses, but you should know that already. I hope.) but an infield fly? A walk-off homerun? What? Thankfully my friends were patient with me, and googling the subject didn't hurt either. Once you figure out the sport, it makes if fun to watch. But that's the great thing about baseball, you don't have to watch it the entire time you're there.

Going to baseball games is fun cause you don't have to watch the game to have fun. You can go and hang out with your friends, snapchat that your at the game, get something to eat, watch a little ball, and repeat. It's also perfect weather for tanning, and also for burning, so bring some sunscreen. It's also a great date idea so dudes y'all should consider taking your girl out to the ball game. Dan Law Field has it's own perks, including $1 Hot Dog days, and bring your dog to the game. Sure it's not football, and you can't throw tortillas, but it's still a great sport on its own.

I'm glad I started going to baseball games, and I hope you will too. Don't sleep on baseball.

The temperature may not be very Autumn-like, but these playlists sure are.

Autumn Playlists
King of Wallpapers

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The leaves change, pumpkin spice everything hits the shelves (thank you, world!), the 13 Nights of Halloween on Freeform (formerly abcfamily) and the temperature drops. Well, the temperature is supposed to drop. Being in south Alabama, however, means that the temperature may be relatively low early in the mornings, but you're still going to suffer in the afternoon. So if the weather outside isn't getting you in the Autumn mood, maybe these Spotify playlists will help you slip into that wonderful, Autumn state of mind.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

First Snow

I have never understood why grown-ups complain when the leaves are all off the trees, and the temperatures take a decided turn towards the zero on the thermometer. I hear complaints about the impending winter weather, and the driving in the snow and ice. We live in Pennsylvania, so I bite my tongue instead of stating the obvious: Maybe you should move to a warmer climate?

Halloween is a fun holiday for everyone of all ages. There are so many fun things to do in the month of October before Halloween and the day of Halloween. I love Halloween especially with all the candy and different types of goodies. Halloween is for everyone that enjoys to be a part of this wonderful holiday and also be careful on Halloween as well. It gives everyone a chance to show what they love to do as well.

Aside from the great hits like "Dreams," "Linger," and "Zombie," you may not know many other songs by "The Cranberries." These three songs are played rather frequently, and it would be hard to imagine someone not recognizing at least one of the three. If you haven't, look them up, and then come back and read this list.
