The most exciting basketball game of the year. Two teams will collide for the NBA championship in June. You want to see the best game possible, no matter if your team is playing or not. The championship game for an NBA fan is about having a dream matchup between two powerhouse teams. The Eastern Conference vs the West. What two teams you would want to see battle for the NBA title?

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors - The Cavs are the reigning NBA championships, it's only right for them to defend their title like any other champion would. The Warriors fell short last year in game seven against the Cavs. Since then, the Warriors added Kevin Durant to their monstrous roster. KD loss to LeBron James for the NBA championship and I'm sure it leaves an unsettling taste in his mouth. This will be a dream matchup for the world to enjoy.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs LA Clippers - This dream matchup would host some of the best dunkers in the world. Two of the most explosive teams in basketball clashing for seven straight games for the NBA championship. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are well overdue for a ring. The Clippers can't get pass key players getting hurt. Nobody really knows what this team can do in the playoffs, coach Doc Rivers can't wait to find out himself. LeBron would have a tough time facing a team like the Clips. DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin combined with the leadership of Chris Paul in an NBA finals game of this caliber, fans would go nuts. The NBA would be on fire if the Clippers could find the strength to make it past the Warriors.

Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder – The NBA wouldn’t be the NBA without a few surprises. There are some fans in the world that love rematches, rival games or repeats. Then you have a certain group that would pay for two new teams to meet for the NBA championship. The Pacers have revamped their team to be offensive minded. They’re ready to compete for the Eastern Conference championship. Paul George is an outstanding player and he’s back to playing like the superstar before the leg injury. Russell Westbrook is the most explosive player in the NBA. His buddy Kevin Durant left him hanging ( you know he did ) for the team that defeated them in the Western Conference finals last year. How would that make you feel? Westbrook wouldn’t want anything more than defeating the Golden State Warriors before winning his first NBA championship.

10 percent chance of these two teams meeting in the finals

Philadelphia 76ers vs LA Lakers – If this could happen, let me be the first person to say, this will be the most watch NBA championship game ever. The NBA has grown since day one and with players like Westbrook, Curry, Harden, James and so on. Who would ever imagine the NO.1 pick vs the NO.2 pick in the NBA draft to face-off for an NBA title. How unbelievably crazy that would be. Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott are showing off for the NFL and sports fans can’t get enough. Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram face-off in the 2017 NBA championship. Yeah, not happening.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
