The Finals Weren't Rigged, The Warriors Are just Too Good

I know, I hate how good they are too, but this isn't the WWE.

Yes, the Golden State Warriors won yet another NBA championship -- their third in the last four years. But honestly, what can you do?

What can LEBRON do? What could he have done?

Yes, he went off for more than 30+ points in more than one Game of this year's Finals, but he still fell short. However, we can't put that blame on him -- it's on his team.

LeBron is the literal definition of "carrying," and he can only carry his team for so long.

He's been carrying his team for the entire season and, not to bash on them, but without him, they would've gone nowhere this season. And honestly, that's not even bashing on them, that's just me being truthful.

Like, yes, they have some shooters like Kyle Korver, Kevin Love, and J.R. Smith, but with these players... it's like a gamble -- especially with J.R. Smith.. you cannot fight me on this one.

For the Warriors, if Stephen Curry was having a bad game, then Klay Thompson was going at it; if Thompson was having a bad game, then Kevin Durant was going at it; if KD was having a bad game, then Draymond Green was going at it; if Green was having a bad game, then Andre Iguodala was going at it, and the list just goes on and on.

The Warriors didn't just have a starting line-up, they also had a bench, and that makes all the difference. If you do not have players that can -- at least -- decently perform in the rotation, then you're going to have a tough time. There are substitutions for a reason, and Cleveland was struggling with that missing component.

So, the Finals aren't rigged. Golden State is just a 73-win team who added a Kevin Durant.

And then Cleveland had a LeBron James and inconsistent J.R. Smith, Kyle Korver, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, and Rodney Hood and George Hill who tried as hard as they could. Then you have Larry Nance Jr. who couldn't get his shot together (sorry Larry).

Honestly, LeBron is probably going to leave Cleveland -- and it breaks my heart saying that -- but at least when (or if... I have a little bit of hope) the Finals won't be Warriors vs Cavaliers again.... or so we pray.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
