Fairytail Beginning

Cinderella Story

The Miami Heat unfortunately lost in Game 6 to the NBA Champion, Los Angeles Lakers. It was a game highlighted by Laker dominance. This was a heartbreaking loss for a team and fan base that has gone through so much.

However, this is only the beginning and not the end. This Miami Heat team proved this season that they are not a team to be underestimated. Many saw this team as not even being able to make the playoffs and at best, a 6th seed that would be eliminated in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. The Heat far exceeded these minimal expectations reaching the NBA Finals and taking this stacked Laker team to 6 games.

The Miami Heat will undoubtedly be a free agent destination. The team's amazing culture and variety of stars and serviceable role players will be appealing to many of the best free agents, such as Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Oladipo. Many experts say that this Heat team just needs one more star to guarantee a championship and by extension a dynasty.

This team is so talented. Jimmy Butler can guarantee you 30 or more points when needed. Bam Adebayo is a rapidly rising star who is in the conversation for being one of the best "Big Men" in the league. Tyler Herro and Kendrick Nunn are both young stars who were Rookie of the Year candidates and are slated to only get so much better.

Duncan Robinson, who at one point believed he would never have a successful NBA career, is one of the best and most efficient three point shooters in the league.

The Heat also has strong veteran talent, such as Jae Crowder, Andre Iguodala, and especially Goran Dragic. Goran Dragic, at 35 years old, is still proving he is a certified star in this league and one of the faces of this Heat team. These veterans can help guide the team and teach them how to win better.

Things can only really go up for this Heat team and we can only wait in excitement to see what amazing things this team can produce in the future.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
