Growing up in Los Angeles, a lot of my childhood was spent inside the Dodgers stadium. Every family has that sport they follow and for mine that was baseball. My dad grew up playing baseball as for his brothers, and when he moved to Los Angeles he instantly became a Dodger fan. I have never had interest in sports, but as an older sister to an 11 year old brother I’ve attended plenty of little league games to finally love the sport. Although my interest in the sport was always shaky, I always had love for the team. Now as a young adult, I have also spent a lot of my free time attending Dodger games with my sister. If you are like me and have a rocky relationship with sports, I’m going to give you a few reasons why you should be a fan of the Dodgers this 2016 season.

1. Kershaw

You will be able to witness his beautiful pitching. I promise if you sit and really watch him pitch, it will blow your mind. From his stance to his actual throwing, his performance is absolutely flawless.

2. Corey Seager

Dodgers have lots of eye candy this season. I can go on about what a handsome stud he is, for days. But other than those great good looks, he's the Dodger’s #1 prospect and only 22 years old. He has scored 7 home-runs this season so far and earned himself a starting position as short-stop.

3. Trayce Thompson

Also, a total stud! Some may not know, but he is Klay Thompson’s (from the Golden State Warriors) younger brother. He has also scored 7 home-runs for the Dodgers this season and is looking to earn himself a starting position as an outfielder.

4. Dave Roberts

Last season many fans were upset over their previous manager Don Mattingly and requested he be fired. Dodgers hired Roberts and he became the first minority manager for the franchise. He is also very cool, calm, and collective during each game, he’s great at keeping his composure during rough times.

5. Vin Scully

If you know Dodgers, then you know this guy. He is the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers and has been since they were the Brooklyn Dodgers. He is now 88 years old, and will be retiring after this season.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
