5 Things To Remember During The NBA Playoffs

It's NBA playoffs time of year and it tends to bring out a different side of me. Growing up my brother was really into watching the games so naturally, I became very interested too. I've lived in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio my whole life and recently Cleveland has been up to some great things in the sports world. Last year the Cleveland Cavaliers won the Championship title and the Indians made it to the finals almost winning a Championship title. I'm more interested in basketball than baseball personally, here are my tips on making it through NBA playoffs successfully.

1. You Can't Watch Every Game But You Can Try

I always want to watch every NBA game on television but it is nearly impossible to catch every game on. Whether it's work in the way or you have homework or other commitments, I've learned that you should just get updates on your phone from some game verses watching all.

2. Don't Let A Loss Hurt You

Losing games really hurts me especially if we had a 2-0 up on a series. Just recently we were down by 25 but came back and took the win. Sometimes you conquer like that and sometimes you just take the loss. Just remember there's seven games for a reason.

3. Focus On The Game

Personally I've noticed that people like to live tweet during the game and talk about what's going on but it's really distracting. If you're watching the game just focus on the game and leave your phone aside for awhile. It'll make the game more enjoyable and let you actually see all plays without missing any.

4. Pray Your Favorite Player Doesn't Get Hurt

During playoff time injuries do occur but it's best to pray that your players don't get hurt and hopefully they make it through all of their series strong. That'll give them the best chance it can to win.

5. Be A Good Fan

Whether your team is losing or winning support them. Last year so many fans thought the Cavaliers wouldn't make it to the finals and let alone win and they did. Being a good fan isn't hard to do. Support your team during the wins and during the losses and you'll do great.

That's my best advice for the NBA playoffs and I hope you all watch them as much as I do!

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.
