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.

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.

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.

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.
