As the new season rolls out, some champions are clearly stronger than others with the new runes. Certain champions, such as Nunu, are just absolutely trash and completely nonviable at the moment. Here are the seven strongest champions that should make climbing the ranked ladder easier and synergize extremely well with the new runes!

1. Ezreal

Ezreal in his current form is so strong that even support Ezreal is starting to look good. Players in various ranks are finding great success with him in the precision tree, which synergizes well with his kit. Higher division players, however, are faring even better with the Kleptomancy rune. Either way, he's pretty overpowered right now.

2. Gangplank

Similar to Ezreal, Gangplank is thriving in this new patch, and with the Kleptomancy rune, he gains gold so fast it's nearly impossible to keep up. He can waveclear super fast if he chooses to take Minion Dematerializer, but most players are choosing to take Future's Market as he didn't have much trouble waveclearing, to begin with.

3. Katarina

The new Domination tree allows Katarina to snowball super hard. When you combine her newly found spell camp with the damage runes, Katarina quickly starts to snowball through her AOE damage resets and burst/pick potential.

4. Lulu

Lulu synergizes extremely well with the new Sorcery tree, which results in incredibly low cooldowns on her game-changing spells.

5. Malzahar

Malzahar is nearly impossible to push out of lane with the Manaflow Band rune. When you add Arcane Comet and its synergy with his ultimate, Nether Grasp, it's almost impossible to survive laning against him post-6.

6. Sona

Sona's one of the most annoying champions when you combine her with the Kleptomancy rune. Although some choose to run a similar rune page as Lulu, the gold that she amounts with Kleptomancy allows her to advance through the game very well.

7. Zed

Similar to Katarina, Zed has incredible burst damage which makes him incredibly unpleasant to play against him once he snowballs. Due to this, he has one of the highest ban rates at the moment.

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.

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.
