All I want in the world of basketball

Warriors-Thunder

Yes, the Warriors are a vastly superior team, but in the age of Twitter, this series could be magical. With Russell Westbrook and Draymond Green, an abundance of technical fouls and spicy quotes are bound to happen. We saw Westbrook take a possible dig at Durant with is photographer outfit, so what is next? Maybe he shows up in a Kevin Durant jersey to the game. This series could be the greatest 4-0 sweep of all time.

A Healthy Ben Simmons

While the Philadelphia 76ers are terrible, they are still pretty fun to watch. With the hype surrounding Joel Embiid, the Sixers-hype will only increase when Ben Simmons makes his debut. Sure, LSU was underwhelming while Ben Simmons was there, but now Simmons is in the big leagues. He has not played even a second in the league, but has already garnered a ton of hype. From being the first pick to the Slam cover, paying homage to Lebron, Simmons has lofty expectations and I am excited to see him next to Embiid.

An unleashed Kristaps Porzingis

Despite being a magical unicorn, Porzingis has weights attached to his legs by the name of Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose. Five years ago, that duo alone would have you competing for a title, but not so much in 2016. I know their contracts are not favorable, but somebody needs to bite this bullet to free Kristaps. When he played the Suns a few games ago, Kristaps hit all four of his three-pointers and dunked all over the Suns, but they still lost in the end. Sure, the Knicks may be good now, but Carmelo seems unable to co-exist with other stars.

The Raptors to Choke

Despite being arguably the second best team in the East, nobody cares about Toronto and rightfully so. They are in Canada, their best player only shoots contested mid-range jumpers, and they are just boring to watch. The only time I enjoy seeing a Raptors player is when Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are joking around before or after a game. Add in the fact that Drake is affiliated with the Raptors and I cannot wait for their inevitable elimination.

The Suns to Stop Being Terrible

This one is personal because I am a Suns fan, but it seems like forever since they were decent. The Suns were the most popular draw in Phoenix, but now they are just a dumpster fire. Last season, I got a ticket for $5 (they lost) and the atmosphere is not the same as I remembered. From the mid-90’s all the way until Steve Nash left, Suns fans were passionate, but now we are indifferent. All I want is for the Suns to stop sucking!

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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. 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.
