3 Reasons Why This NBA Season Will Be Great
SB Nation

As the NBA season is approaching, here are three reasons why the NBA season, If you lived under a rock during the month of July and missed free agency, here is what you need to know; a lot of people went to different teams and some of these people are superstars.

1. Super Teams

If you ask Derrick Rose there are two super teams in the NBA, the Golden State Warriors and the New York Knick. Lets not kid our selves, the Knicks aren't on the same level as the Warriors. Sure the Knicks will be fun to watch, but they don't have four all-stars in their prime. All though a lot of people hate the Warriors for signing Kevin Durant, you can't deny that they will be fun to watch. On the Warriors, you have two time MVP Stephen Curry, gold medalist Klay Thompson, MVP Kevin Durant, gold medalist Draymond Green, and who can forget two time Shaqtin a Fool MVP Javale McGee.

2. Rookies

This NBA draft had some really good rookies like Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram, Kris Dunn, and Dragen Bender just to name a few. It will be very interesting to see how these rookies will play in their first NBA games. When you look at the situations Dunn, Ingram, and Simmons are in, they are all paired with good young talent. Kris Dunn is paired with Andrew Wiggins, Karl Anthony Towns, and Zach Lavine now that is a super team in the making. Brandon Ingram is paired up with DeAngelo Russell, Julius Randle, and Jordan Clarkson.

3. Homecomings

Every NBA season we look forward to the rivalries and homecoming games for superstars that left long time teams, and this year is no different. February 11 is a big date, one its right before the all-star weekend, and two it is when Kevin Durant returns to Oklahoma City. You can expect that he will get some really loud boos. Long time Miami Heat icon Dwyane Wade left the Heat to join the Bulls, and his first trip back to south beach will be on November 10th. Lastly we can't forget about the reigning champions hosting the super team on Christmas Day as the Warriors head to the Q to have LeBron James.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

"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.
