Lonzo Or Fultz? Who's Going Number One?

Markelle Fultz or Lonzo Ball? It's the question that draft analysts have been pondering over for most of the last year. On one hand, you have a true point guard with a winning culture and the ability to lead his team to greatness. On the other hand, you have a generational talent with the ability to take over a game in an instant. So when it comes down to it, who should be picked first?

As of now, Markelle Fultz seems to be the frontrunner for going first overall. The main knock on him is his team's record. The Washington Huskies only had nine wins on the season compared to a whopping twenty-two losses. Fultz averaged nearly 24 points per game to go with six assists per game. He made college basketball his personal plaything and the scouts can see it. Along with that, he would be a perfect fit to go with the Celtics if they land the top pick. They currently have the best odds of nabbing it courtesy of the Brooklyn Nets pick. He would be a perfect fire off the bench for when Isaiah Thomas has to sit. Even more so, he's one of the more physically gifted point guards and has the ability to play defense with the best of them. He's been thought to be the number one ticket all year long and nothing's changed. His only real competition is Lonzo Ball.

Ball averaged 14 points per game to go along with an astounding seven assists per game and nearly willed the Bruins all the way to the final four. He's a true team leader and he makes everyone around him better. The main knock on him is his shot. The fact of the matter is, it's one of the ugliest shots in basketball and even though it works for him, the majority of his points do come in the paint. Besides that though, he's an above average defender with a knack for finding his teammates open. Some people compare him to Russel Westbrook, and we all know how he's doing this season.

As of now, the controversy over who goes number one is still minimal and it will continue to gain steam as time passes. One thing's for sure though, whoever is picked first, they'll have a bright future ahead of them.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
