Why It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year For Sports Fans Everywhere
Oilers Nation

The next couple of weeks/month is going to be crazy for sports. There are so many events/games that every day will be filled with sports. This is a big time of the year for all four major U.S. sports (football, basketball, baseball and hockey). I am not going to include the Summer Olympics in this article because they kick off on Aug. 5.

1. NBA playoffs

Currently as I am writing this, the NBA playoffs are still in the first round. Normally the first round of the NBA playoffs are predictable; however, the rest of the playoffs are interesting, and we see big time players make big time plays. Stephen Curry hit 402 threes in the regular season, I wonder how many he will hit in the playoffs. Some big questions will be answered during the playoffs: Will LeBron James finally bring a ring to Cleveland? Can the Warriors tie the 2000–2001 Lakers record going 15-1?

2. NHL playoffs

I wrote a previous article on this subject and why the NHL playoffs are awesome. In essence, the NHL playoffs are awesome because you never know what is going to happen. Like the NBA playoffs, we will get answers to some of the biggest questions like: Will Alexander Ovechkin finally get a ring? Will the Chicago Blackhawks repeat?

3. NFL draft

The NFL draft is a great event, because it is the second stage of the new football season behind free agency. Leading up to the draft, especially this year, the top two picks have been traded, which causes havoc among fans. The NFL draft is a three-day spectacular, and you never know which late round picks will blossom into superstars like Tom Brady and Antonio Brown.

4. MLB season

The MLB is the only major sport that has regular season play in the spring and summer. From April 3 until the beginning of October, there will be only two days without a baseball game being played, and that is the day before and the day after the all-star game. There's a good chance that a baseball game is being played whenever you look.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
