The 2017 New York Yankees are forces to be reckoned with. Even though they have had their share of injuries, they secured a spot in the postseason. I've been a fan since I was zero, and I definitely think this is one of their best lineups ever.

Starting with "baby bomber" Aaron Judge who won the Homerun Derby and broke the record for the most home runs by a rookie EVER. Judge obviously used the time off last time to perfect his swing because he now has an outstanding 50 runs for the season.

The 25-year-old also has an amazing 105 RBIs. Fans were definitely scared when he went into his "slump," but Judge quickly surpassed it. There's no question that he will receive "Rookie of the Year." I predict that he will have at least 60 home runs by the end of the season.

With our new additions, there was no way we weren't going to succeed. We secured pitchers Sonny Gray, Luis Severino, Jaime Garcia and our very own David Robertson. Together, this bullpen has been unstoppable. 23-year-old Severino leads with a 3.03 ERA and 221 strikeouts. Yankees veteran CC Sabathia has an incredible 14 wins.

Also a veteran, Brett Gardneris at 96 hits with his ultimate goal of the season being 100 hits. Gardner has proved time and time again how amazing of an outfielder he is. Another "baby bomber," Gary Sanchez has been on fire lately. He has 33 home runs and 88 RBI's.

Didi Gregorius has proved to be an amazing shortstop, even though I believe no one will ever come close to "The Captain." His "after the game" recaps on Twitter are very entertaining.

The clash of rookies and veterans has been a great combination. They are currently number two in the AL East standings, only two games behind the Boston Red Sox. With home team advantage coming up for the wild card, can they go all the way? We shall see what happens.

Let's go Yankees!

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
