Why I Don't Like The Warriors

(And not only because I'm a Cleveland fan)

Why I Don't Like The Warriors
JackSSF

In a world where the NBA is dominated by play makers, there’s a lot of competition and a lot of hatred flowing freely. As an avid Cleveland sports fan, I back the Cavs (even though basketball isn’t my favorite sport), so this might make my article a little biased. But, to be honest, I would likely hate the Golden State Warriors regardless of the freshly sprung rivalry between them and the Cavs. I’m a girl who hates cocky players and players who play dirty. I’ve always been a firm believer that you should let your playing and your talent do the talking for you, rather than running your mouth and being full of yourself (I know this is true of a lot of athletes, but bear with me). With that being said, let me tell you the top reasons that I hate the Warriors:

1. They’re really just a bunch of crybabies

One time, Golden State fans called Lebron James a crybaby, but I don’t know how they can throw that insult around when their team is chock full of crybabies. Zaza Pachulia, Draymond Green, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant… must I continue? Any time something goes awry or they don’t get their way, they whine like a teething baby. At least Lebron has embraced his crybaby status (check out Intel’s 360 replay commercial).

2. Zaza Pachulia’s attack on Iman Shumpert’s manhood

Did y’all watch game four this year? Did y’all watch Zaza punch Iman Shumpert in his man parts? If not, here’s a link to the video.

3. Draymond Green

Draymond Green is probably my least favorite basketball player in the world; he claims that he’s “a lot smarter than people think,” but I don’t know how smart a person who consistently aims for other men’s groins can really be. He also talks a lot of garbage on Cavs fans instead of just silencing them with his playing. Most of his comments are just rude, and he has a big mouth on the court but doesn’t always back it up. If you’re gonna talk a big game, you’ve gotta play it, too.

4. Steph Curry’s Mouthpiece

Put. The. Dang. Mouthpiece. In. Your. Mouth.

5. Steve Kerr

Okay, maybe I don’t hate the guy, but he really couldn’t bring himself to coach a game with some back pain? What’s that all about? I’ve had my back completely out of place, yet I’ve gone to work where I stood on my feet for eight hours a day and I didn’t complain about it. Suck it up.

I know that there are a ton of people who hate the Cavs, too, and that’s totally okay! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but dang. I could never root for a team led by a baby-faced point guard (who doesn’t even go by his real name, which is Wardell, for reference) or ball-tapping backups. I just couldn’t. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of talent on that team, but there’s also a lot of attitude. Anyway, see you next year, Warriors.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
