The finals rematch we anxiously hoped for is underway. The Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James are facing a dominant Golden State Warriors team led by Steph Curry, and people all over the nation are tuned in. While the match-up is intense and the competitors are some of the best in the NBA, here are a few reasons why the Golden State Warriors will beat the Cleveland Cavaliers.

1. They won last year.


They know what it takes to beat the Cavs. Last season, Golden State handled them easily, winning the series four games to two.

2. They have the NBA Coach of the Year.

Steve Kerr had another successful season at the helm winning this award, even though assistant coach Luke Walton coached almost half of the season starting 39-4.

3. Kerr has finals experience as both a player and a coach.

Kerr led the Warriors to the title last season and has five rings as a player.

4. Steph Curry.

After winning MVP last year, it is hard to put into words what Curry has done on the court this season. He repeated as league MVP and made over 400 3's. Yes, 400.

5. Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.

Curry aside, they have two of the best players in the league in Green and Thompson. If Curry was not a real life video game character, Thompson would be the best shooter in the league and Green has proven to be a star.

6. Electric home crowd.

Oracle Arena is one of the most electric venues in sports.

7. They have a strong bench.

Aside from their starters, they have a deep bench with the likes of Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston and Festus Ezeli.

8. They had the best regular season in NBA history.

They went 73-9. To put that into perspective, the Philadelphia 76ers won 10 games all year.

9. They already won Game 1.

The Warriors took Game 1 even though Steph Curry and Thompson had awful games.

10. No lead is safe.

With the Splash Brothers, they can be down 10 and come back in two minutes.

11. Again, Curry.

Curry's pure dominance this season makes it hard to believe he won't come out firing in Games 2 and 3. You can never count Chef out.

Don't take my word for it, but I envision another NBA Championship coming out of the Bay Area.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
