Kevin Durant Responds On His Relationship With Russell Westbrook

It's truly been a rocky road for former Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Durant would leave OKC and his teammate, Westbrook to sign with the team who managed to defeat them in a 3-1 deficit, The Golden State Warriors. This would send the former MVP to join up with reigning MVP Stephen Curry and leave his former star point guard on his own. Westbrook, going on his contract year decided to extend his contract with OKC for three more years.

This sparked drama everywhere leading to a ton of speculation, rumors, and hate towards the former OKC star and Westbrook. An article from Bleacher Report had reported that people close to Westbrook had stated that he was not only hurt, but angry at Durant for his decision. The Thunder point guard didn't give a comment on the report, unless you count a laugh when asked by an NBA fan.

When Durant was asked about offering his congrats to Westbrook contract he responded,

"Nah, that's a touchy subject. I'll see once everything dies down."

Tons of memes, reports and other internet speculation led people to believe the former OKC Thunder Duo have turned their backs on each other and the friendship they once had is gone, or in some sort of very awkward state which is likely, even Oklahoma City Thunder center Enes Kanter joined in on the fun poking fun at Durant's decision with Westbrook's contract extension.

Despite all that, Durant attended a Nike event at the University of Texas in Austin on Friday, and was asked about where his relationship with his former star point guard stood.

"We’re still cool." said Durant "We’re going to compete against each other at the highest level. We’re gonna have fun against each other. We’re still cool."

No comment has come from Westbrook or Durant about catching up or staying in contact, but we can take Durant's comment as a sign that everything between them is okay, Former OKC Star is joining the 73-9 Warriors in hopes of an NBA Title, and Westbrook will stay in OKC to record even more triple doubles. Fans can only anticipate the next time they can see the duo reunited, and Warriors at OKC is a game you won't want to miss.

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.
