To My Fellow Diehard New York Mets Fans, I Understand Your Pain

I do not even know where to begin there are so many issues, the owner, the general manager, the manager, the bullpen, I mean it is almost a new issue every day with this ball club.

To My Fellow Diehard New York Mets Fans, I Understand Your Pain

Thomas Antonio Leone

Dear Mets fans,

Why? Why do we do this to ourselves? Why can't we just be Yankee fans? Why does this team make the same moves, and do the same thing over and over again? I mean the list of why questions can go on and on, but in all seriousness why? This letter is for all Mets fans out there who deal with the same trouble I do during baseball season... being a fan of an inept, unfortunate, and a tad unlucky organization. I do not even know where to begin there are so many issues, the owner, the general manager, the manager, the bullpen, I mean it is almost a new issue every day with this ball club.

Viktor Hanacek

After the holidays, winter is pretty much just an extremely long period of missing the warmth. I will never be someone who understands how it's possible to like the cold. Let's be honest here, being cold is actually painful. But hey, at least we are all in it together, right?

Throughout College Life, I Have Become A Headache Expert And Even Know How To Get Rid Of Them

Headaches. The terrible, awful, no-good feeling when your head literally aches. Ranging from mildly annoying to Paul Bunyan slamming his ax into your head, headaches can be the bane of existence.

Unfortunately, these seem to be a reoccurring theme of my college life. I've gotten headaches more often in these past four years than in the previous 18 years, and it seems like a commonality with other college-goers as well.

These last couple of months I've been trying to get healthy after the very dreaded freshman 15 (it ain't no joke). And from a fellow lazy girl, here are some of the struggles and thoughts I have had while working out.

1. Dressing in layers

2. When the air is so cold it hurts your face

3. Goosebumps

4. Not being able to eat ice cream without freezing to death

5. Needing 8 blankets to keep you warm at night

6. Having to bring multiple jackets with you wherever you go

7. Dressing really warm only to walk indoors where the heater makes you HOT, so you have to take your 3 layers of outerwear off

8. Washing your hands with freezing water because it takes too dang long to wait for the warm water

9. Or when you don't dry your hands well enough after washing them and the cold wind makes them feel like actual ice

10. Dry skin - all the time.

11. Being in a continuous state of illness all winter because every time you step outside you start to feel sick again

12. Not feeling the warmth of sunshine when you stand in the sun

13. Having to turn up the heater in your car

14. And in your house

15. RAIN

16. Suddenly not being able to move because of how cold you are

17. Struggling to ever want to leave your house

18. Stepping out of your warm shower into what feels like the tundra

19. Everything seems to hurt

20. Leaving your warm bed on a cold morning

21. The struggle of wanting to dress cute but not being able to ditch your sweatpants and Ugg boots

22. The fact that summer is so far away

I kid, I kid (but also not really).

Sleep

Eating

Watching paint dry

Eat dog food

Bite my tongue

Get 12 paper cuts

Listen to an hour of nails on a chalkboard

Eat an entire head of lettuce

Stub my toe continuously for an hour

Watch the first Twilight movie

Burn my tongue on a pizza roll

Take a razor scooter to the achilles tendon

I'm no medical expert, but I am a college student, which is pretty close.

1. Dehydration

2. Stress

3. Too many smacks on desks

4. The sleeps, the wonderful sleeps

5. The foodz

6. You ran into a pole

7. Caffeine?

8. The lights. They BURN!

9. Crying too much

The struggle is real but we got this.

1. “What did I just get myself into?”

2. “I wonder what I’m going to eat after this”

3. “I need new gym clothes”

4. ”Who knew I had a muscle there?”

5. "I’m going to be sore tomorrow"

6. “I hope my neighbors don’t get annoyed with these burpees”

7. “Let me take a lil break”

8. “Do it for the workout selfie”

9. “ I better have abs after this”

10. “I did it!!!!”
