The Legion of the Boomstick

The Legion of the Boomstick

The Mariners are walking into this season in high regards. They're already a potential playoff coming into the season. They have great pitching staff and seems to have offensive momentum's. However, this season one of the played down subjects is how good the Mariners offense has the potential to be.

Last season, Robinson Cano appeared to be worth the large sum of money the Mariners paid for. Cano not only lead the team offensively, but also displayed natural leadership with his team. Kyle Seager lit the fuse, as he began to come on in the second half of the season.

Unfortunately, Mariners still had some slight struggles offensively and were unable to make the playoffs.

In the off-season, the Mariners have acquired Nelson Cruz. Nelson Cruz was a monster last year. He was the stud of the oriloes. The Mariners now have the chance to have something special, the Legion of the Boomstick.

When you hear this, you're probably assuming I am talking about the Seattle Seahawks: Legion of Boom. Though I am not directly talking about the Legion of Boom, I do use this example as cultural reference. The Legion of Boom is a reference to the most dominant and feared defensive player on the Seattle Seahawks. The Legion of Boom consists of Richard Sherman, Byron Maxwell, Kam Chancellor, and Earl Thomas. They have all developed a cultural brotherhood to which has made them into the top-notch defense that Seattle Seahawks have. This same cultural brotherhood could seek into the Mariners offense this year.

The Mariners could see a furious offensive line that will consist of the potential best offensive group in Major League Baseball. The Legion of the Boomstick will consist of Robinson Cano, Kyle Seagar, Nelson Cruz, and Logan Morrison.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
