Christian Yelich Out With Season-Ending Injury

The Milwaukee Brewers are about to face the hardest stretch of their season. September is a pivotal time in major league baseball, as teams push for a coveted playoff spot.

The Brewers have been creeping up behind the Chicago Cubs for the top spot in the National League wild card race. With a come from behind win against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, the Brewers came within one game for this spot. However, this win came with a cost, a high one.

All-Star outfielder, Christian Yelich, suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first inning of this game. Fans, coaches, and teammates held their breath after the reigning MVP fouled a ball sharply off the top of his knee cap.

It was announced post-game that this injury would cause Yelich to miss the rest of the season, ending his race for MVP and several other awards.

It is not to say that Yelich carried the success of this team completely, but as with any other star player, the team's success often comes hand-in-hand with his success. This being said, Yelich was out due to injury at the beginning of the season, so this is not foreign territory for the Brewers.

Coaches and players are still confident in their ability to clinch a wild card spot, as long as they continue to battle game to game through the rest of the month.

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.
