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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
