The college basketball season has commenced and last night we saw four blue blood programs facing off in the eighth year of the Champions Classic. The night cap of the double-header was the one to watch, as #4 Duke faced off against #2 Kentucky. These two teams came into the season with the top two recruiting classes and the new faces shined last night for Duke, not so much Kentucky.

Duke somehow signed three of the top four recruits in college basketball last season: Cam Reddish, R.J. Barrett, and Zion Williamson. All three of these young freshman scored over 20 points (32 for Barrett, 22 for Reddish, and 28 for Williamson) and dominated the Kentucky Wildcats all game. The game was never close as Duke put up 59 points at the end of the first half on the way to their 118-84 route of the Wildcats.

How Duke's ranking slipped down to fourth is beyond me, with these three phenomenal talents all playing in the same lineup, Duke has to be the favorite for the rest of the season. This was a big time win for the Blue Devils, and it didn't come against a cupcake lower level team like usual, it was against one of the best teams in the country.

Kentucky who has experience in their Senior transfer Reid Travis along with returning players like P.J. Washington and Quade Green was favored to win the game last night, but couldn't keep up with the Blue Devils' offense. Travis was among the top scorers for Kentucky, posting 22 in his debut in the blue and white. The Wildcats were led by freshman wing player Keldon Johnson with 23 points, sharpshooter Tyler Herro also dropped 14 in the losing effort.

Zion Williamson showed why he was the top recruit in the class, not just pulling out impressive dunks, but stretching the floor and showing he can shoot jumpers as well. If Williamson can consistently make shots from outside the paint, it would almost be impossible to guard him on a nightly basis.

The college basketball season is a long one, and as long as you make it into the NCAA Tournament, the regular season doesn't mean much. But after that opening dominant performance from Duke, they have to be on a lot of people's radar to cut down the nets in March.

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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
