The Warriors Might Not Visit The White House And It's Really Not That Surprising
San Jose Mercury News

If you happen to be a basketball fan, you most likely saw the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers go at it during the finals for the third year in a row. It was an epic showdown between the two best teams in the NBA with the Warriors winning the first three games and then the Cavs forcing a game 5, but ultimately it the was the Warriors that came out on top when they won game 5 on their home court 129-120. Long story short, it's a good time to be from the Bay right now.

Shortly after the Warriors reclaimed the championship title, reports came out saying that the team will decline a visit to the White House if invited in a unanimous team decision. However, the team released an official statement saying that no decision has been made whether or not the team will decline an invitation if given one.

Even though no official decision has been made by the team yet, it really won't be that surprising if the Warriors decide not to visit with President Trump. Many members of the team, including Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry, have been very vocal about their distaste of President Trump and his policies. The Bay itself is also a very liberal area, especially Oakland and San Francisco where most of the fanbase is from.

If the Warriors do decide to not visit the White House, it would be the first time an entire team declined a White House invitation, but not the first time athletes have dodged President Trump. Several members of the New England Patriots decided to not visit the White House due to political reasons.

I really can't blame the Warriors organization for considering not visiting President Trump. I've seen a few comments here and there from people saying that the team should visit the White House because Trump is the leader if the country now and they should respect that, but I beg to differ in this situation. Why would you go visit someone who you don't respect in the first place? Considering the political leanings of the team and the fanbase, it would probably cause an uproar if the Warriors did decide to go meet with President Trump. While the argument might be that the Warriors visited President Obama in 2015 after they won their previous title, you have to consider again where the team is based out of and who believes what.

Whatever the team decides to do, I will support them with my whole heart, but don't be surprised if it's announced that they won't be drinking covfefe with President Trump.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
