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!

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.
