Better known as the "Greek Freak,"23-year-old Giannis Antetokounmpo is the current star play of the Milwaukee Bucks, but I'm sure you already knew that. The Bucks forward player is on his way to becoming one of the best players in the NBA, but how?

Giannis was the Most Improved Player back in the 2016-2017 season and recently just hit his career high of 44 points in one game. Compared to the average NBA player, Giannis is above them all, whether it's slightly or drastically.

He currently ranks as the second leading scorer this season with an average of 28.5 points in a game. Giannis is young and this is only his fifth season of playing in the NBA. In just his fourth season, he was the only NBA player ever to rank in the top 20 in all major statistical categories and he also leads the Bucks to the playoffs as a sixth seed. Unfortunately, they lost to the Pacers to make it to the next round.

How will Antetokounmpo do this season? Well so far, like stated above, he hit his career high in points but he also has his most field goals, rebounds, turnovers and much more all just in this season and it's only February. He also has secured a spot as a starting player in the NBA All-Star game as well this year.

Giannis has even said that he knows he can be better, faster and stronger and that just shows how much he'll get better in the next couple of years. Will he lead the Milwaukee Bucks to another playoff appearance? I think so. The NBA has never seen a player like him.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is clearly a legitimate candidate for this season's MVP and many more seasons to come.

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.
