LET'S GO RED SOX, LET'S GO!!!

Honestly, there is no better place to be than in Boston when the Red Sox are doing well - nevermind when they're gearing up for the WORLD SERIES! As a college student in Boston, you cannot escape the Red Sox Nation epidemic, but then again, why would you want to?!

Normally, the Red Sox are a major headline in the Globe and topic of conversation everywhere you go, but Bostonians take it to a whole other level when the their beloved team is off to prove that they are the best team in baseball. As a resident of the North End - where there are apartments lined up and down every narrow street - you always know how the Sox are doing by the cheers coming from the apartment of seemingly every college student in the city. The energy here is intense, and the World Series has been the cause of many cancellations or postponements of events all around the city; in one of my classes, there has already been talk about cancelling class if the victory parade is on a day that we have class (not that we're getting too ahead of ourselves or anything....). Loyal Sox fans in the Boston area have also made it a habit to congregate after winning games to celebrate for hours all around the city - on Commonwealth Ave., in Faniuel Hall, in Kenmore Square and on Yawkey Way - under the supervision of the Boston Police, of course. The first game of the World Series is tonight in America's Most Beloved Ball Park, so cross your fingers for a win!!
