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!

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.

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.
