You smell that?

Actually, depending on where you’re reading this, we could be smelling two completely different smells. I’m smelling fresh air; I’m tasting a hot dog with all the fixins on it and I’m seeing a little white ball being tossed around.

Ladies and gentlemen, you guessed it, I’m watching golf … no I’m just kidding, it’s baseball season for goodness sake.

I hate that it’s Monday because I love the Major League Baseball opening day so much that it went by way too fast, but today we get even more games to watch and listen to while trying to do our day jobs.

I love that it’s social acceptable to eat bags of peanuts at any given time of the day because it’s baseball season.

And I love that I can start wearing my baseball jersey’s around campus without people saying behind my back that I’m a “F—k boy.”

Well, since you’re going to be in front of a computer screen watching Ervin Santana pitch, you might as well hop in and join me on this love to hate, hate to love journey.

What I Hate to Love 

I hate to love that we have entered the month of April because that means we are getting closer to the end of the school year, and I don’t want that. However, I love that April means the MLB season has begun and the North Dakota State baseball and softball teams are closer to stepping foot on a Fargo diamond.

Starting on Wednesday, the Bison baseball team will take on Minot State. Two days later, they will take on Indiana Purdue-Fort Wayne. The very next day the softball team will take on IPFW in a double-header, and the baseball team will face IPFW in the second game of a three game series. Sunday is capped off with one more game for each team.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that these seven games this week all take place in Fargo.

What I Love to Hate 

I love to hate this app called Snapchat. It gets people in trouble. We’ve all heard about the DeAngelo Russell mistake where he snapped a teammate saying things about other girls, even though he’s engaged to Iggy Azalea. Don’t be that kid, Russell.

The weather in Fargo is trying to get warmer, and that means more bonfires, house parties and skimpier summer clothing. Go have fun. But whatever you do, make sure it doesn’t get on video.

Yeah, waking up and looking at the Snap stories from the previous night is a lot of fun, but if you’re going to do something stupid just don’t get it on video. We’ve all been three sheets to the wind with a phone in our hand while our best friend is trying to order eight blue dolphins at 1 a.m. that turns into the him or her getting kicked out of the bar.

ust put the phone down, enjoy your time with your friends and keep the late night moments in your head not your phone.
