NBA Finals

The playoffs are underway and there is certainly no shortage of drama. The Houston Rockets have another shot to take down the defending champs. Will they finally do it? The Milwaukee Bucks look unstoppable when the Greek Freak is on his game.

The NBA Finals are scheduled to begin on May 30th. The Eastern conference is wide open and unlike before, there are challenges for Golden State as the Los Angeles Clippers displayed.

NBA Draft

The 2019 draft is scheduled to take place on June 20th with the lottery being held May 14th. The lottery this season is also known as the Zion Williamson sweepstakes as he is a virtual lock to be taken first overall.

As of now, Nicholas Claxton has declared for the draft but is still eligible to return to Georgia for his senior season.

The draft is an exciting time for sports fans because it is an opportunity to see a good amount of roster turnover and the potential stars of the future.

MLB All-Star weekend

Major League Baseball has recently made a comeback of sorts with a spike in popularity among the younger generation. Two of the biggest brands in baseball, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, have as much star power as ever.

Last season, the home-run derby was the most exciting it has been in years with Bryce Harper's monstrous performance. The all-star weekend is an opportunity to see baseball's biggest names go head to head, trying to outshine one another.

FIFA Women's World Cup

The eighth edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup will begin on June 7th. France will be playing host to the 2019 tournament.

The United States is a three-time world cup champion and is looking to challenge for a fourth. The U.S. previously won in 1991, 1999, and 2015, making them the defending champions. The roster is as loaded as ever with Alex Morgan and Veteran Ali Krieger leading the charge.

Stanley Cup

With already one major upset, no one is safe in this year's Stanley Cup race. The San Jose Sharks look strong in the second round and the Columbus Blue Jackets look to carry on their success after shocking the world with a first-round sweep of the Lightning.

The Stanley Cup Final will be held in either late May or early June depending on the outcomes of the previous rounds.

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
