The Beginning of The NBA: What's Been Going On?
The Grueling Truth

October is a strange time. The weather changes, leaves begin to turn a different color, and finally, the NBA starts. Who could have predicted the injury to Gordon Hayward or the reigning champs losing opening night. Or the Suns firing the coach after losing by a combined 82 points in the first 3 games and Eric Bledose demanding a trade. To list the top 3 teams right now, you have to mention the obvious

1. Houston Rockets

James Harden and Chris Paul. The iconic duo that was supposed to take over the NBA and create 30 assist a night, just those two. But with Paul going down with an injury, the season seemed lost. What people forget is that this roster is very deep with the ability to stretch the floor and make the most of their shots. 6th man Eric Gordon continually exploits defenses with his ability to make the 3 point shot lethal.

2. Milwaukee Bucks

Could the Greek Freak get any better? Giannis is averaging the most points in the league while already showing that he is an MVP level canidate. Who else can hit the game winning shot from a steal and then block the other teams ball with no time left on the clock? While the team itself hasn't been great, Milwaukee continues to show that its power deserves recognition and in my opinion, Giannis deserves MVP.

3. Washington Wizards

John Wall is back to his old ways, throwing down dunks and providing suffocating defense for those he is guarding. His partner in crime, Bradley Beal has shown that he is worth the contract he was paid recently. The rest of the team isn't spectacular but they glue together and work as a good oiled machine.

These reviews were made off of NBA.com and personal opinion.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
