Coastal Carolina won against Arizona 4-3 in the final game in the College World Series on Thursday night, on a game delay due to bad weather. Having to play the game two days coming out on top.

Andrew Beckwith (15-1) the national leader in wins pitched 5 2/3 of innings of The College World Series. He pitched two complete games while in the playoffs, this making this his third victory in The College World Series. All of the players had a spectacular night, including Alex Cunningham, earning a strike out against Arizona player Ryan Haung with a full-court fastball to end the game and have Coastal Carolina win The College World Series.

It has been a long journey for Coastal Carolina. They have played fantastic ball ever since they were in the playoffs. Their record was 55-18, the first team since Minnesota in 1956 that won the title of The College World Series. “It is the best feeling of my life.” G.K. Young told the reporters the night of their win.

The first year coach, Jay Johnson says “Amazing season, and they deserve the championship.” That would be the greatest complement any player could get from their coach after winning the Championship. Head coach of 21 years, Gilmore also commented that “Whenever he dies, I know the group of guys here, they willed themselves to be the national championship.”

Making it to the championship is a huge part of the player’s lives, they have been working hard to earn the position that they are in. player, Beckwith shares that, “It was a full team effort the whole College World Series, and we get it done.”

All of the coaches, all of the parents, all of the students and all of the fans of South Carolina Coastal Carolina are going to celebrate such a huge win, that they have deserved for years.

The Championship was also the first in a team sport in 33 year history of the Big South Conference. Also this past Friday the team became members of the Sun Belt Conference, which is a collegiate athletic conference that has been ben apart of the NCAA Division since 1976.

The players have so much love for each other and all of the fans that have supported them since the very beginning. They are going to go home with a big trophy and huge smiles on their faces. All threw the tournament they had fun, they didn’t take it to seriously, that I think is one reason they won the championship.

The team is going back to Conway, South Carolina with the first schools win of a national championship of any of the sports that are at Coastal, which is a big accomplishment.

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.

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.
