It is once again that time of the year. It is the NBA finals. Guess what? It's the fourth time the finals include the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors. But along with that, it is LeBron James' eighth NBA finals appearance. The last time he was not in the finals was 2010. It can be crazy to know that one of the greatest players of all time has appeared in the finals eight straight times. But what has happened the last time James missed the finals?

1. The devastating earthquake in Haiti

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the country.

2. The BP oil spill

3. Ohio State beat Oregon in the Rose Bowl

The score was 26-17.

4. Matt Smith began his run as the Doctor in "Doctor Who"

He is the eleventh incarnation of the character.

5. San Fransisco Giants won the World Series

They beat the Texas Rangers four games to one.

6. Duke won March Madness

7. The Winter Olympics in Vancouver

8. Obamacare was passed

Also known as the Affordable Care Act.

9. To add on, Obama was still in his first term

10. The New Orleans Saints won Super Bowl XLIV

They beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17.

11. The 2010 NBA Finals: Los Angeles Lakers versus Boston Celtics

The Lakers would beat the Celtics in a seven game finals 4-3.

And that was what happened the last time LeBron James missed the NBA Finals.

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.

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.

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.
