Ever since Steve Kerr took the job to be head coach of the Golden State Warriors in 2014, they have become the dominant team in the Western Conference. In his first two seasons, the Warriors won the western conference championship twice, won an NBA championship, and had a historic 73 wins in the regular season. As for this season, there were recent questions surrounding the team's ability to win the West for the third year consecutively, but they silenced those questions without superstar Kevin Durant big victories last week over the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets, the two teams that are trailing them in the Western Conference.

After losing their big free agent signing in Durant to injury on February 28th, the Golden State Warriors went through a bad stretch to their standards by going 2-4. The Splash Brothers of Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry combined to shoot under 30 percent from outside during that stretch. However, Curry and Thompson would turn it around by shooting over 40 percent from outside and ignited the Warriors to go on a winning streak that has now reached double-digits and have extended their lead as the first seed in the western conference.

According to Marc Stein of ESPN, Kevin Durant could return right before the end of the regular season and the Warriors will most likely finish as the first seed for the third consecutive season. Once the playoffs begin, the Warriors can again show why they are the favorites to win the western conference for third consecutive year and possibly win it all.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
