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.

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.
