NBA Bounces Back

What does that mean for fans?

The NBA season is underway, and that means the Chicago Bulls will be in action soon.

I don't always love Chicago teams. I hate the Bears, mainly because of Jay Cutler, and I love the Pirates so the White Sox, but especially the Cubs, are out. However, the Bulls are a team I can get behind. No, it wasn't easy to see Rose go down so frequently. No, it wasn't easy to watch Chi-Town struggle to stay competitive with King James. Nevertheless, I stand by the Bulls.

Now, Rose is gone. I wish him the best, but he has made this season very interesting. Now that the Bulls have remodeled, I honestly can't wait to see what they do. Jimmy Butler is blossoming into a bright star in the league, and he has the hometown kid on his side to accelerate his learning even more.

D-Wade is the new ageless wonder for the NBA. Every year I ask myself, "How much more can he give? How many more minutes does he have?" One thing is for sure, he is a leader where ever he goes. Jimmy Butler knows the team's system better, but Wade knows the NBA better.

The team also has Rajon Rondo on the roster. Rondo's vision and flash will make the Bulls a fun team to watch. He is a hot-head, but he is an intelligent point guard. He has play-makers around him, and I think his assist total will skyrocket this season.

The team also has the Summer League's MVP, Valentine. Though he is a rookie, I believe he will have an immediate and positive impact on the roster.

The team has a certain level of optimism to it. Until the season starts, the above article is all speculation, but I'm excited to see the Bulls run this season. Will they take home the title? I can hope, but I doubt it. If Cleveland doesn't stop them, Golden State (among others in the Western Conference) will be ready for them. However, they will put up a good fight. I feel this team will make the playoffs because I don't know if there are 8 teams in the East better than they are.

Regardless, I'm pretty hyped to see how the ball bounces this season. It should be fun watching GSW recreate some showtime basketball, but I'll still be looking forward to the Bulls above all else.

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.
