Derrick Rose, I'm Not Surprised

We all saw it coming.

Derrick Rose, I'm Not Surprised

When I visited China in May 2016, I was tempted to purchase Derrick Rose's Chicago Bulls Jersey. I was incredibly excited, but something was telling me not to do it. Instead, I purchased a Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls and Stephen Curry's Golden State Basketball Jersey.

I am so glad I went with my gut.

In June 2016, Derrick Rose was traded from the Chicago Bulls to the New York Knicks.

I always knew Derrick Rose would eventually get traded to another basketball team (I actually claimed it in 2012), and 4 years later, it is now becoming a reality.

But why?

Derrick Rose has a supreme basketball skill as a NBA point guard that no one else in the NBA has, but he does not know how to execute it effectively without hurting himself.

In his entire career, he has been injured 17 times. Because of these injuries, the owners and fans of the Chicago Bulls were not willing to invest any more money into an injured player. On top of that, he was an injured Superstar player on the team who was one the major keys to the teams success. After Derrick Rose was severely injured in 2013, they had difficulty making it to the NBA playoffs. Thus, making the NBA Finals far out of reach for the team.

Chicago ran out of the superb resources to be able to keep Rose at a superstar level in professional basketball. However, New York was willing to invest in a superstar team and were ready to put extreme measures into rebuilding Derrick Rose back to being the best point guard in the Eastern Conference.

Because of that, I am not surprised that Derrick Rose is no longer with the Bulls, I knew it was coming sooner or later. But the real question is, What's next?

Derrick Rose will more than likely start for the Knicks in the upcoming season. At this very moment he is going through extreme training with physical therapists and his new coaches to help prepare the New York Knicks to a successful season in 2016-2017.

Lets just admit it, we all knew Carmelo Anthony could not carry the Knicks by himself. With Derrick Rose there to help, I am sure they will help bring the team to to the playoffs this next NBA season. After all, they now have one of the best point guards in the eastern conference and they are bound to get the best picks in the 2016 NBA Draft.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
