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.

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.
