1. Epic Game 7.

The moment Phillys process ended

One of the craziest moments in sports history, Kawhi not only hit the game winner, but he hit in Game 7 of the eastern conference semi-final.

2. Anticipation at its finest.

The shot seen around the world, this moment blew up on social media. This is big for the Raptors.

3. The picture that says it all.

The anticipation was unreal.

4. Kawhi in the Clutch.

Kawhi is dominant and has proved it over the years.

He has previously proven to be clutch, even though this time last year, a lot of people didn't seem to like him too much over his choice of not playing at the end of the season for the Spurs.

5. Kawhi finally showed emotion.

While this was an intense moment, it may be the best news for the Raptors. Maybe he won't leave for L.A. like he previously made a big deal out of.

6. Can they take it all?

Kawhi has been in big situations before and has outplayed the competition. I mean, he was the 2014 Finals MVP. There really has only been one player that has outperformed Kawhi this postseason. That player is Giannis, who the Raptors will be going up against in the Eastern Conference Finals.

7. On to the next one.

A truly unforgettable moment

The Raptors are in a great spot. They don't have to worry about their kryptonite AKA Lebron James this year, and Drake found a way to beat his curse on sports teams, which is by wearing the other teams' garb which he did in game 7. If the Raptors can keep their current core, they could be back next year; Kawhi is essential in that. As for this year, they have to get past the most likely MVP, Giannis and I believe they can beat whoever comes out of the west...

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
