SK telecom T1 vs. Samsung Galaxy

Who would have thought we would have a finals match between two Korean teams?

It's not as if Koreans are and have been the best players in the world since Season 1.

As one of my friends was telling me that they believed SKT and SSG wouldn't make it through their Semifinal matches, I was disregarding their comments fully. And rightfully so.

SKT is the League of Legends premier team, and while some argue it's just because of Faker, I think we have to give credit to the rest of the team for their just amazing skills. As a team, they work so well together in not just making few mistakes but coming back in games that they do make mistakes.

In SKT's match against Royal Never Gives Up, it wasn't looking great for SKT. With the power and prowess of RNG I wasn't unsure who was going to win the match. But as usual (riot scripts in full effect), SKT won. Because of their legacy, I don't know if it would really be a World Finals without them.

RNG played out of their minds though, Uzi is just a god among men. As an ADC main I strive to be as good as him or Bang. It was an amazing series though.

I think these Semifinals have shown the world the true power of East Asian teams on the world stage. It isn't just SKT and SSG, Chinese teams and EU teams are no joke.

I didn't watch the SSG vs WE match very much, most likely because it was overshadowed by the SKT vs RNG match. But as Korea came out on top, beating WE 3-1. WE put up a great fight this year, coming from the play in groups to the top four is just a stellar performance.

My predictions for the finals? As good as SSG is, I could see it being a rerun of the round one playoffs in July in the LCK. A 3-0 victory for SKT.

The best player in the world Galio...uh I mean Faker will never fall.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
