With the NBA season starting, what can this Heat team aspire towards?

Though losing key pieces in Jae Crowder and Derrick Jones Jr. , this Miami Heat this is still very much in the title race and are still favorites to make it to the NBA finals.

They added key pieces in the off-season in Mo Harkless, Avery Bradley and 20th overall pick, Precious Achiuwa.

Mo Harkless was a solid piece for the Knicks last season. For the Heat, Harkless can fill in the desperate need at the four that Jae Crowder left behind.

Avery Bradley was another solid piece for the Los Angeles Lakers. He is projected to average about 13 points for the Heat.

Precious Achiuwa was an amazing draft steal for this Miami Heat team. From Nigeria, many saw Achiuwa as a high draft prospect. He averaged about 16 points in his college career

This is in addition to preseason surprises in KZ Okpala and Max Strus. During the second preseason against the Toronto Raptors, the duo scored 24 and 22 points respectively.

This came as a surprise as many did not expect them to flourish this greatly, especially Max Strus, who had seemingly come out of nowhere as a viable option and piece for this ambitious Miami Heat team

Bam Adebayo will continue to develop as he is expected to have another All-Star Caliber season. Some have even said that Bam Adebayo is the best big man in the league, at the very least a Top 3 Big Man, next to the likes of Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic.

This Miami Heat team is expected to be a third to fifth seed in the coming season next to teams like the Durant and Irving Brooklyn Nets and the Giannis led Milwaukee Bucks.

Some have said that many people are greatly underestimating the strength of this Miami Heat roster. And if last season is any indication, the Miami Heat organization and its fan base can expect another appearance in the NBA finals and maybe a championship .

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.
