Why It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year For Sports Fans Everywhere
Oilers Nation

The next couple of weeks/month is going to be crazy for sports. There are so many events/games that every day will be filled with sports. This is a big time of the year for all four major U.S. sports (football, basketball, baseball and hockey). I am not going to include the Summer Olympics in this article because they kick off on Aug. 5.

1. NBA playoffs

Currently as I am writing this, the NBA playoffs are still in the first round. Normally the first round of the NBA playoffs are predictable; however, the rest of the playoffs are interesting, and we see big time players make big time plays. Stephen Curry hit 402 threes in the regular season, I wonder how many he will hit in the playoffs. Some big questions will be answered during the playoffs: Will LeBron James finally bring a ring to Cleveland? Can the Warriors tie the 2000–2001 Lakers record going 15-1?

2. NHL playoffs

I wrote a previous article on this subject and why the NHL playoffs are awesome. In essence, the NHL playoffs are awesome because you never know what is going to happen. Like the NBA playoffs, we will get answers to some of the biggest questions like: Will Alexander Ovechkin finally get a ring? Will the Chicago Blackhawks repeat?

3. NFL draft

The NFL draft is a great event, because it is the second stage of the new football season behind free agency. Leading up to the draft, especially this year, the top two picks have been traded, which causes havoc among fans. The NFL draft is a three-day spectacular, and you never know which late round picks will blossom into superstars like Tom Brady and Antonio Brown.

4. MLB season

The MLB is the only major sport that has regular season play in the spring and summer. From April 3 until the beginning of October, there will be only two days without a baseball game being played, and that is the day before and the day after the all-star game. There's a good chance that a baseball game is being played whenever you look.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
