The Cleveland Story
Wikipedia

Cleveland is a big city in Northeast Ohio. With a population of a 390,000, Cleveland is the second largest city in the state of Ohio. Home of the Cleveland Indians, Cavaliers, and Browns as the three major sports leagues. Cleveland is a city built on hard work and team spirit.

2016 must be the year of Championships for Cleveland. From a lead of 3-1 in the NBA Finals, The Warriors lost the next three, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 4-3 win in the NBA Finals. This was the end (finally) to Cleveland's 52-year Championship drought.

The fans of Cleveland went crazy when the final buzzer sounded. The hard work of supporting these teams for years has finally paid off. Cleveland is bringing home a championship.

As the NBA Finals occurred, the MLB was starting off and with this, the start to a very successful season for the Cleveland Indians. Now, in mid-October, the Indians are in the semi-final round of the World Series. Up 2-0 against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Indians are anxiously ready to move on to the Championship series.

What is this mysterious phenomenon that is occurring in Cleveland. Some may say that the curse has been broken. But how did we break it? What special event happened to break the curse to allow Cleveland to gain a Championship?

I can answer this. It's the fans. It is the people that make up the city and the fan base and the teams. These people are the supporters and are the ones that will never stop loving a team no matter what occurs. Because of this, the Cleveland teams felt a surge of pride and support from their fans. This is what lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals and eventually the Championship. This is what is letting the Cleveland Indians do so well in the ALCS.

The Cleveland fan base has been voted best and biggest in all major sports year after year because we stick by our teams no matter what. This is what sports should be about.

Cleveland is Home.

Cleveland will always be supported.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
