Because who doesn't love to cheer for their team?

The Top 5 Reasons I Love Sports
The Sports Truth

It all started when I was a kid watching a soccer game with my friends; I just got dumbfounded by the matchmaking, a riot on how the player made a foul and the referee didn't do anything. I even told my friends that it was totally unfair and that I was baffled about it. That's when I realized I loved sports. And here's my top 5 reasons on why I love sports in general:

1. Records

Seeing players make history, plays and tactics by the coach and the team that make matches the ones that everyone will talk about for years. Whether it was Kobe Bryant with the epic 81 points against the Toronto Raptors or Diego Maradona's "goal of the century" against England in the 1986 FIFA World Cup, these are the moments that fans will remember for years and talk about with their friends. Moments by players on which you witness history; no better feeling for a fan.

2. The Players

Seeing the athletes that make us go "wow". Players that take our breath away with their plays and tricks. The legends, superstars and upcoming talents: whether it's Curry hitting three-pointers, Neymar dribbling, or Odell Beckham Jr. making a touchdown, these are the players that keep us tuned in, waiting to see what they can come up with next.

3. Rivalries

Rivalries, it's one of the main reasons to watch sports, it's what makes us the biggest fans. These are the games fans live for, at the end of the match, there's really nothing better than being on the winning team and rubbing it into the rival. People might say that you can be the neutral fan, but no matter how you try, there's always that team that you'll despise for no reason.

FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid, Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees, Baltimore Ravens vs Pittburgh Steelers, these are some examples of the biggest rivalries in sports.

4. Wins & Losses

Teams will always have good moments and bad moments. Obviously, the best times are when your team is winning, but being a true fan is when you're supporting them through the wins and losses. There truly isn't a better thing in sport than watching your favorite team win the championship and seeing the players hold up the trophy, jumping around and shouting celebrating the win. Like I said, the best thing about sports is how it's mostly fair and that you're there for your team through thick and thin.

5. Entertainers

The players that do theatrics make us smile and are simply just goofy as they can be. Players like Mario Balotelli, Chris Bosh and Rob Gronkowski, we all have a love/hate relationship with these types of players, but at the end of the day they never fail to steal the show and leave us with a smile on our faces.

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.
