The NBA playoffs are here! The talk about "The King" Lebron James fighting for another championship against the Golden State Warriors is buzzing again. But, if you think about it, The NBA playoffs is a lot like Finals Week.

The Bracket

Once teams qualify for the playoffs they are put in a bracket. The bracket is full of the best teams that were the hardest to beat throughout the season, but there are always at least two teams we know will make it to the Championship. These teams all represent our class schedule and the “teams to watch for to be in the championship” are those one or two classes that you know are going to keep you up countless nights wanting to drop out.

Each Round of Playoffs

Every round of playoffs a team advances and the other goes home. The team that goes home is that final you take first and focus on first. The team that wins and advances is that final you put off studying for so you can get a good grade on the immediate final.

The Championship

The last final is here and you can almost hear the waves crashing down on the beach during summer vacation. The final seconds are ticking off the clock and you know you are either going to win or lose, and here it comes. You're praying to Jesus all your hard work during the season/school year paid off. Regardless you know you've just got to finish the semester/game and then the off season/summer is here. Keep pushing!

On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
