This is the time of year that all sports fans rejoice. All the leagues come together to form one big October conglomerate of sports.

Baseball Postseason is in full swing (and it's been a doozy), college football is chaotic as always, and the NFL continues, as NBA has finally tipped off after one of the craziest offseason ever. Then there's college basketball on the horizon.

In celebration, I decided a good way to celebrate was to find some of the greatest sports commercials ever made. There's nothing like a goosebump inducing, inspiring, classic commercial to get you pumped for sports.

Most of these are basketball because, well, basketball is probably the easiest, most fun and consistent sport to make commercials for. Plus, the NBA just started. Let's begin, shall we?

1. Rule Yourself (Tom Brady, Under Armour)

It's Tom Brady. The Goat. Then it's an army of Tom Brady's. An army of Goats. Dang.

2. Come Out of Nowhere (Lebron James, Nike)

This is from the beginning of last season but it still gives me chills. I'll never forget Lebron's career defining moment. I'll never forget where I was or how I felt when he flew through the air to block that shot in the 2016 NBA Finals. Sports, man.

3. Failure (Michael Jordan, Nike)

Michael Jordan spitting wisdom about how failure leads to success? Yes please.

4. Hittin' Em (Russell Westbrook, Jordan)

This is also a hype video from last season, but it still jams today. Russell Westbrook is still doing what he wants as the reining MVP and Kevin Durant's departure from OKC is a little less damaging with Paul George and Carmelo Anthony joining the Thunder squad. Can Russ finally get his much deserved ring? I hope so. Thunder Up!

5. Ripple (Rory Mcllroy, Nike Golf)

Yeah, it's golf. I don't know what's going on in the golf world right now, but this commercial is too good not to include. It's no doubt one of the best sports commercials ever made. It's basically a very short film about Rory Mcllroy growing up watching his favorite golfer, Tiger Woods, and then playing with him when he becomes a pro golfer himself. Cue that story with the piano score and tears and chills and so many emotions ensue. Sports, man! There's magic in every sport.

6. Michael Jordan vs. Himself (Gatorade)

We're going to lighten it up again here. Old MJ pitted against younger MJ. Genius, Gatorade, just genius.

7. Don't Love me. Hate me. (Kobe Bryant, Nike)

I never hated Kobe. I never loved Kobe either, but he was good at basketball and I remember how cool this commercial was.

8. Together (Lebron James, Nike)

Lebron finally did it for Cleveland two years after this commercial.

9. Derek Jeter Farwell Ads Compilation (Nike/MLB/Gatorade)

This is three commercials in one video, because all of the farewell commercials to Derek Jeter in 2014 are classics. The Captain retired after the 2014 season and baseball still isn't the same.

10. Look Me in the Eyes- Become Legendary (Jordan)

This is probably the most motivational sports commercials ever, and a good one to end on.

There you go. Sports, man, they're so magical yet so real. It's the best sports time of the year. Let us relish in it. Postseason baseball today, NBA basketball tomorrow, college football on Saturday, NFL on Sunday. Wow.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
