Why I Love Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors is a great role model. Not because he's a baller (a great one, at that) — but for who he is off the court.

He's a family man.

His daughters, Riley and Ryan, are absolutely adorable. Riley Curry has pretty much made a name for herself for her actions during her dad's press conferences. She makes me laugh every. single. time.

I mean, let's face it - she does what we all would rather do after a long day with no nap.

Not to mention Steph's wife, Ayesha, is gorgeous. Their relationship is actual #goals.

Bonus: Did you know Curry wears the same number his dad wore when he was in the NBA? #30forlife

He's humble.

Senior year of high school, Curry was small and received no scholarship offers from major-conference schools. He wanted to play for Virginia Tech, his father's alma mater, but they only offered him a chance to walk-on. In fact, only three schools offered him a scholarship. (Winthrop was one of them!!) He chose Davidson, a school that had not won an NCAA Tournament game since the 1960's.

Fast-forward a few decades, and now Curry is considered to be one of the greatest shooters in NBA history. He's a two-time NBA All-Star and was named 2015's NBA MVP.

He keeps his faith first.

During his MVP speech, he stated, "People should know who I represent and why I am who I am, and that's because of my Lord and Savior."

Curry also pounds his chest and points up as a reminder that he plays for God.


I'm glad there are still athletes out there who stand firm in their beliefs and use their platform for good instead of just for themselves. Shoutout to you, Stephen Curry. Keep it up!

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
